A MOST DEGRADING FLOTILLA

Some Islamists and their sympathisers from overseas want to conduct a flotilla trek to Gaza as a show of solidarity for jihadists and as an expression of anti-Israelism. The IDF has been trying to prevent this, and with good reason, because what if they were smuggling arms?

Anyway, in current news about this, the participants have been mouthing off with hate chants:

Witnesses reported Sunday morning that they had heard hate chants from those on board a flotilla of ships heading from Cyprus to Gaza. The ships bear hundreds of foreign activists who plan to challenge Israel's control of the sea off Gaza's coast.

The chants, which were recorded, included, “Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud, jaish Mohammed saya'ud.” The cry means, “Jews, remember Khaybar, the army of Mohammed is returning.” The reference is to the seventh century, when Mohammed, revered by Muslims as a prophet, led an army that slaughtered Jews in the town of Khaybar in what is now Saudi Arabia.

Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon condemned the chants. “The fact that participants on the flotilla would chant such things shows the true nature of some of the participants and its true motivation,” he said.

"This amply demonstrates that many are not against a particular policy of the Israeli government, but have very real and dangerous hatred for Jews and the Jewish state,” he added.

I would add that any parents who don't want their children to grow up be like these characters would do well to teach them not to involve themselves in politics. And to make sure that the schools they send them to don't encourage them either.
