Where's the Syria Flotilla?
(Commentary) Michael Rubin - In May 2010, a Turkish Islamist charity with close ties to Turkey's ruling party sponsored a flotilla which it claimed was to relieve suffering in Gaza, never mind that the standard of living in Gaza surpasses that in Turkey. Many self-described human rights activists and groups joined the "Save Gaza" chorus and donated their time and money to sponsoring flotillas (which, in effect, would support and supply Hamas but contribute little to humanitarian causes). Alas, these organizations are silent on the atrocities in Syria, let alone prepared to alleviate the suffering of the Syrian people.
