Turk Born in America Was One of the Aggressors In Blockade Runner Assault; More Ships Coming

Furkan Dogan was born to Turkish parents and left our country at the age of two, apparently never to return. While technically holding citizenship, he is a birthright American only, an accident of geography and in no obvious way attached our nation's culture. To call him an American is something of a joke.

Dogan was one of the nine Muslim terrorist sympathizers killed as they tried to lynch Israeli soldiers carrying out an inspection of their ship, a ship attempting to run a blockade of Gaza. News accounts claim that Dogan was shot in the head four times and once in the chest. The shot placement and other known conditions of the raid suggests Dogan was attacking Israeli soldiers at point-blank range when he was killed.

Israel and Egypt have maintained a joint sea blockade of Gaza because of legitimate concerns that Iran is attempting to provide the terrorist group Hamas with long-range rockets to destabilize the region and target Israeli civilian population centers. Late last year the MV Francop was intercepted carrying small arms ammunition, rockets, grenades and artillery shells from Iran to Gaza.

The MV Rachel Corrie, a decrepit one-time beer hauler, is part of the next group of ships attempting to run the blockade. Named after a leftist radical and pro-terrorist sympathizer killed by a bulldozer attempting to protect Hamas weapons-smuggling tunnels, the Corrie is thought to be carrying cement, one of the materials that Israel and Egypt do not allow to be imported into Gaza because of concerns that Hamas will use the building material to construct hardened bunkers.

Other materials being carried by the vessel are already in abundance in Gaza, supplied over far more practical land routes.

The Irish-flagged Corrie, like its namesake, isn't providing anything of value to the people of Gaza, and merely provides a small degree of political cover to a genocidal terrorist group.

Update: The Corrie turns around... for now.

"While technically holding citizenship, he is a birthright American only, an accident of geography and in no obvious way attached our nation's culture."

The cur would probably have failed a literacy test, also, until the four bullets in his head removed all doubt, too.

Even if you discount his undeniable American citizenship and insist he was a Turk, he merely joins the other fatalities incurred by a NATO ally. The US is happy to use NATO members to fight and suffer hundreds of casualties on its behalf in Afghanistan as a response to 9/11. It is clearly content for NATO citizens to be killed by its proxy. Israel thinks nothing of stealing the identities of NATO citizens and calling the British 'anti-semitic dogs' when a diplomatic punishment is exacted.

I wonder just what will earn Israel the slightest rebuke from the US?

when they start coddling terrorist sympathizers and anti-Semites... you know, like most Europeans.

dirk -

The family of the jihadist have publicly stated "we were not sorry to hear that he fell like a martyr."

If it's good enough for those that loved him most, it's good enough for me...

But exactly, how is it that you feel free to insult the Turkish school system with your claim they graduate illiterates? Any data to back up your claim that Furkan Dogan couldn't read and write?

Not expecting an answer but will probably be amused by the response: Aren't you embarrassed by the American dependence on NATO military force to quell Afghanistan, and the utter inability of the United States to control its one true ally?

Posted by: dirk at June 3, 2010 02:06 PM

Is that what allies should be in your world, Dirk? Submissive second-rate puppets under your control?

No wonder you don't have any allies. You don't even know what the word means.

Now that is gun control. And definitely an improvement on the gene pool.

As for dirk's supercilious query--any rational and unbiased observer would be surprised if the USA required Israel to commit suicide by allowing uncontrolled arms shipments to enemies of both Israel and the USA. What that fact has to do with Afghanistan is a relationship that only exists in your rather disturbed mind.

"If it's good enough for those that loved him most, it's good enough for me..."

Better than facts. Facts plus. Quick, empty the prisons!

"you feel free to insult the Turkish school system"

Over your head. Clearly, Texasization came early in your case. It was a reference to previous citizenship stratification in the US, concerted and pernicious measures over centuries to ensure 'no obvious attachment to our culture'.

"Submissive second-rate puppets under your control?"
Yes, that and carte blanche to insult, abuse and kill the citizens of US allies are the only two options. Jeebus.

As I predicted, no answer and an amusing response.

... It was a reference to previous citizenship stratification in the US, ...

Now you're claiming the US Constitution basis citizenship on literacy?

mmm'kay, Please point to the Article and Paragraph.

Many thanks in advance ...

The quality of trolls has gone downhill in the past 6 months. Can't you even dredge up ones able to write coherent responses? I am so disappointed....

Sink 'em. Davey Jones Locker has room for Turks.

"birthright citizen"? Wow.

I knew you thought that the "anchor babies" of illegals who should be denied citizenship, but are you saying you oppose citizenship for the American-born children of legal immigrants as well?

How far, exactly, do you want to go with this?

Should we deny citizenship only to the children of temporary visitors or do we do it to the children of honest "immigrants" who came here to stay? What children born to immigrants who are in the process of becoming citizens?

What about the children of 1 citizen and 1 non-citizen? Do you want to require that both parents be citizens at the time of the birth?

Do you want to just change the law from here on out or do you want to retroactively strip the citizenship of those you consider to be "birthright citizens" only?

libtardbarian stop babeling like an idiot.

Pretty much what I expected.

"Libarbarian" -- are you really this stupid or are you just putting on an act?

If it's an act, you should go professional. It's a stunning performance.

The Irish should hang their heads in shame. If they support this it is small wonder my ancestors left the place. How is it a religious people persecute the people of their Savior? It makes no sense.

Dirk don't piss off the Texans. I am educated and a Texan and we'uns will never see eye to eye. Hope to see y'all on the field of Honor if y'all have any. The sides are picked and the battle lines are forming. Don't be a party pooper and sit it out! Texas shall remain long after the USA is a sad memory.
