The leftist-Islamist alliance in all its glory.

(JPost) — Hamas on Tuesday condemned the Israeli seizure of the Gaza-bound French ship Dignity — Al-Karama, with spokesman Ismail Rudwan describing it as “piracy, a war crime and a violation of the principles of human rights.”

The Navy commandeered and intercepted the French ship after negotiations to persuade 15 pro-Palestinian activists aboard to divert their course away from the Strip’s closed naval blockade failed.

The Arab League also condemned the interception of the ship, calling it an “act of piracy,” according to Israel Radio.

Arab League Secretary-General Nabil Elaraby demanded that the international community and the UN Security Council respond aggressively to Israel’s actions.
