At approximately 4am on May 31st 2010, a group of vessels attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza were attacked by the Israeli navy in international waters off the coast of the occupied Palestinian territories. Nine civilians aboard the largest vessel, the Mavi Marmara, were shot dead by Israeli soldiers and dozens more were wounded. The Israeli government claimed it was exercising its right to self defence. Flotilla members, and much of the international community, saw it as an act of piracy and murder on the high seas that has exposed deep flaws in the Israeli mentality and further alienated it from the rest of the world.
The group of eight ships, known as the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, was a project of the Free Gaza Movement, a group of human rights activists from 37 countries. The ships carried over 700 people including journalists and dignitaries from the US to Malaysia and from Norway to South Africa. The stated goal of the Free Gaza Movement is to raise international awareness about “the prison-like closure of the Gaza Strip” and pressure the international community to “review its sanctions policy and end its support for continued Israeli occupation.” The movement’s board of advisors includes former and serving British, Irish and American politicians and distinguished academics, among others.
To fully understand the motivation of Gaza aid groups such as the Free Gaza movement, we must first take a brief look at the history of the occupied Palestinian territories and the state of Israel. Bear with me then as I try to condense, as objectively as possible, ninety years of history in a few short paragraphs.
Israel-Palestine: A Condensed View
Since the late 1800′s the idea of a Jewish homeland in the area of Palestine had been put forward by Zionist pioneers such as Theodor Herzl and Chaim Weizman. The Zionist claim to a Jewish homeland in Palestine is based on passages within the Torah where the land of Israel is promised to the Jews by God – the legalities of basing a claim on a religious text of dubious origin notwithstanding. In 1896 Herzl visited then ruler of the Ottoman Empire Sultan Abdulhamid II to ask for Palestine as a Jewish homeland. The Sultan refused. Not to be outdone, Weizman and Herzl continued to lobby for the creation of Jewish state in Palestine in the following years, rejecting all other offers (such as land in Uganda or Madagascar).
In 1917, perhaps foreseeing the imminent demise of the Ottoman Empire (in 1918) a protracted period of political pressure from the immensely wealthy Jewish/English banker (and close friend of Weizman Walter Rothschild (the 2nd Baron Rothschild) saw the British government issue a formal statement of policy supporting the creation of a Jewish homeland in the area of modern-day Palestine. The famous Balfour declaration was signed by British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour and declared that the British government “views with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people”
With the break-up of the Ottoman Empire (as a result of the first World War) in 1922, control of the area of Palestine fell to the British who were tasked with dividing up the area, supposedly in accordance with the rights and claims of the local population but taking into consideration their aforementioned promise to the Zionists. The Zionist leadership encouraged successive waves of Jewish immigration to Palestine over the following 25 years, (the biggest of which was during the period before and after WWII). Throughout this period, Jewish settlers had formed themselves into paramilitary (and decidedly terrorist) groups to fight against both the native Arab population of Palestine, who were attempting to defend their rights and homeland and against the British military who the settlers increasingly saw as an obstacle to the creation of an official Jewish state. In 1947, 250,000 indigenous Palestinians were expelled by force from their homes and one year later the state of Israel was declared. The following day, the armies of five Arab countries – Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq – attacked Israel, launching the 1948 Arab – Israeli War. After a year of fighting, a ceasefire was declared and temporary borders, known as the Green Line, were established. Jordan annexed what became known as the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and Egypt took control of the Gaza Strip. According to UN estimates, 711,000 Arabs, or about 80% of the initial Arab population of the area that became Israel, were expelled or fled the country due to Israeli aggression.
Palestinians are prisoners in their own land
In 1967, Egypt announced a partial blockade of Israel’s access to the Red Sea. Israel saw these actions as a casus belli for a pre-emptive strike that launched the Six-Day War, in which Israel captured the West Bank and Gaza Strip. In 1993, the Oslo Accords, which gave the Palestinian National Authority the right to self-govern parts of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, were signed in Washington DC in the presence of Palestinian Liberation Organisation Chairman Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin with US President Bill Clinton playing the part of match maker.
Since 1948, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians had been forced to flee their homes with many still living in exile in Lebanon and Jordan. The majority however have been forced to live either as second class citizens in Israel or under an increasingly oppressive occupation in the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza. Since 1993 the Israeli government has progressively built hundreds of illegal Jewish settlements in the West bank and Gaza. Israeli settlers regularly attack Palestinians and set fire to their fields and crops. To protect these settlements the Israeli government has built and almost completed a wall around the entire West Bank. Due to the route of the wall, many Palestinian villages are completely surrounded.
In 2005 the Israeli government withdrew from Gaza in what at the time was touted as a peace initiative. The reality however is that Gaza is still entirely controlled by Israel and has been turned into the world’s largest open-air prison for its 1.5 million civilian population. An Israeli security fence completely surrounds Gaza on three sides (with the sea on the fourth) with Israel controlling the two civilian entry and exit gates. Palestinians are routinely forced to wait for hours at these gates and run a high risk of being abused by Israeli soldiers and/or turned away. In addition there is a one kilometre buffer zone (called a ‘kill zone’) along the fence which is guarded by remote-controlled machine gun turrets at regular intervals.
Connected via fibre optics to a remote operator station and a command-and-control center, each machine gun-mounted station serves as a type of robotic sniper, capable of enforcing a nearly 1,500-meter-deep no-go zone.
According to the Israeli military the turrets “empower the observers with precision attack lethality and dramatically increase their ability to close kill chains, engaging targets immediately as they are exposed. In addition to the use of direct fire machine guns, observers can also employ precision guided missiles, such as optically and laser guided missiles and weapons.”
The operators of these ‘robo-guns’ are mostly young female Israeli conscripts sitting in front of a screen in a room miles away in Israel watching the Gaza border through the turret’s high-tech camera lens. If they see anyone moving through the “kill zone” towards the fence with Israel, they are authorised to shoot. Many unwary Palestinian civilians have been summarily executed in this way.
The Siege Of Gaza

For the past four years, the Israeli government has maintained an economic blockade by land sea and air of the Gaza strip. The blockade is illegal under international law because Israel is not officially at war with Palestine. Indeed, as the occupying power, Israel has a duty under international law to ensure the welfare of Gaza’s inhabitants, including their rights to health, education, food and adequate housing. Since its indiscriminate bombing of Gaza in January 2009, which constituted collective punishment of the civilian population and left 1,400 Palestinian civilians dead (including 400 children) and over 5,000 wounded, Israel has prevented all building supplies from entering the strip and has intentionally reduced the population to a state of abject destitution as a matter of state policy.
Six thousand Gazan homes were destroyed in the 2009 bombing and thousands of Gaza families now live a cave-man-like existence in the rubble of their former homes and are forced to scavenge for wood to build fires to cook food in the most rudimentary metal pots. Many basic food stuffs are also prohibited by Israel. The decision over which foods to allow and which to prohibit is apparently made arbitrarily with items like coriander, canned fruit, fresh meat and seeds and nuts denied, while aniseed, cinnamon, frozen fruit and chickpeas are allowed. Permitted items however arrive in tiny quantities that fall far below the amount needed to feed the entire population. The policy behind the blockade was summed up by Dov Weisglass, an adviser to former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, in 2006when he said: “It’s like an appointment with a dietician. The Palestinians will get a lot thinner, but won’t die”.
Medical supplies are seriously restricted to Gaza’s hospitals. Many patients suffering from kidney failure for example are routinely told they will die because the necessary equipment and medicines are on the forbidden list. Since the Israeli air forced bombed Gaza’s power plants in 2006, Israel has prevented fuel to run the plants from entering Gaza. As a result, hospitals must deal with power black-outs for 8-12 hours per day. Palestinians suffering from severe life-threatening illnesses that cannot be treated in Gaza hospitals are regularly denied entry into Israel. In his report into the 2009 ‘Operation Cast Lead’ bombing of Gaza, distinguished South African Jewish judge Richard Goldstone exposed the Israeli claim that it was acting in self-defence: “while the Israeli government has sought to portray its operations as essentially a response to rocket attacks in the exercises of its right to self-defence, the [UN] mission considers the plan to have been directed, at least in part, at a different target: the people of Gaza as a whole.”
Many areas of the 25 mile-long coast are no longer usable by Gazans because authorities are forced to pump tens of thousands of cubic meters of raw sewage into the sea every day because Israel forbids the entry of water sanitation equipment. Fisherrmen are routinely shot at by the Israeli navy for the merest infraction of the three mile maritime boundary limit.
90% of Gaza’s water contains high levels of nitrates and chlorides and is officially undrinkable, many however are forced to drink it or die of thirst. 85% of the 1.5 million people in Gaza are dependent on handouts of food from the UN. Rice, sugar oil, lentils and flour in meagre emergency rations are handed out by the UN and are designed to keep a person healthy for at most 2 months in an emergency humanitarian crisis scenario. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees or ‘UNWRA’ has been struggling to feed 800,000 Palestinian refugees in this way for 4 years.
Between the end of the Israeli bombardment of Gaza in January 2009 until June 2010 the IDF killed 47 Palestinians, including 26 civilians, seven of them children; 12 civilians were killed by Israeli snipers in the Gaza ‘kill zones’, gunned down in cold blood; five others died when tunnels between Gaza and Egypt (which are used to smuggle food) were bombed.
In July 2008 a 23-strong human-rights team of prominent South Africans, which included former government ministers supreme court justices, academics and trade union leaders visited the occupied Palestinian territories. Their findings were unequivocal:
“The daily indignity to which the Palestinian population is subjected far outstrips the apartheid regime [of South Africa]. And the effectiveness with which the bureaucracy implements the repressive measures far exceed that of the apartheid regime.”
It was in this context that the Freedom Flotilla set sail in late May 2010 to deliver tons of humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza.
Attack On The Flotilla
The Mavi Marmara, a 300ft Turkish-built merchant vessel, carried by far the largest number of human rights activists – almost 600 in all. The ship’s cargo comprised hundreds of tons of aid including building materials, wheel chairs and medical supplies. The crew and passengers of all the flotilla vessels were fully aware of the danger they faced. In late 2008 a smaller 67ft pleasure boat, the Dignity, was rammed in international waters and almost sunk by the Israeli navy as it attempted to make its way to Gaza to deliver aid. Onboard were Nobel Peace Prize winner Mairead Maguire and Green Party US Presidential Candidate Cynthia McKinney, along with several members of the European Parliament.
Before the flotilla set sail from Greece, the Israeli government declared that none of the ships would be allowed to enter Gazan waters because of concerns that there may be weapons on board. Flotilla organizers however went to great lengths to ensure that the cargo of the Mavi Marmara (and all flotilla boats) were thoroughly checked and vetted by customs officials in Greece and Turkey prior to their departure. The coalition also hired an independent security firm to search the ships and certify that no weapons were on board. The Turkish government, a member-state of the NATO alliance, confirmed that no passengers had ties to extremist groups. These precautionary steps were deliberately taken to prevent Israeli officials from claiming that the Freedom Flotilla posed a ‘security risk’. Israel however, ignored these details and continued to insist that its military would “use all means” to prevent the Flotilla from reaching Gaza’s shore, and that it had a “right to defend itself”.
What happened when the Mavi Marmara and the other vessels arrived within 65 miles of the Gaza coast has been well-documented.
Well-aware that Israel refuses to allow most aid into Gaza, the captain of the Mavi Marmara rejected the suggestion by the Israeli navy that he proceed to the Israeli port of Ashdod and insisted that his destination was Gaza. At this point, the Israeli navy implemented their plan to commandeer the vessel by force. Realising that the Israeli navy was intent on illegally boarding and commandeering the ships in international waters under cover of darkness, some passengers on board the Mavi Marmara sought to arm themselves as best they could in order to defend themselves against the expected and well-known excesses of Israeli soldiers. Using angle grinders that were on board they cut up pieces of the ship’s railing to use as make-shift weapons. Many eyewitness, including Israeli-Arab member of the Israeli parliament Haneen Zoubi who was on board, testified that before a single soldier had set foot on deck, live rounds were fired at the ship and at least two passengers were shot in the head. Zoubi also said that IDF soldiers refused her request that they offer medical aid to several wounded activists who died shortly afterwards. A few passengers appear to have had sling shots and it is possible that others armed themselves with knives from the ship’s kitchen in response to live fire from Israeli boats and Helicopters.
Espen Goffen, a 38-year-old activist from Norway who sailed aboard the Mavi Marmara, said the Israeli commandos on board “started off with some kind of paintball bullets with glass in them that left terrible soft tissue wounds. Then rubber-coated steel bullets were used and then live ammunition. Unable to gain access to the ship via speed boats that had pulled along side, Israeli soldiers began to descend on ropes from two helicopters that appeared overhead. Some passengers, enraged by the murder of at least two passengers and assuming the Israeli intent was to kill, attempted to repel the descending commandos. Video evidence testifies to this fact.
One of the victims aboard the Mavi Marmara
Two hours after the beginning of the attack, 9 passengers lay dead. Provisional post mortems on the dead revealed that they were all shot at close range, 5 had bullet wounds to the head, at least one was shot in the back of the head and two others were shot in the back. Dr Haluk Ince, chair of Turkey’s council of forensic medicine, said: “Approximately 20cm away was the closest. In only one case was there only one entrance wound. The other eight have multiple entrance wounds. [The man killed by a single shot] was shot just in the middle of the forehead with a distant shot.” The oldest victim was 60-year-old Ibrahim Bilgen, a Turkish politician, engineer and activist who was married with six children. He had been shot once in the right temple, once in the right side of his chest, once in the back and once in the hip. The youngest was 19-year-old Furkan Dogan, an American citizen, was shot five times from less that 45cm, in the face, in the back of the head, twice in the leg and once in the back.
More detailed post-mortems released on the 29th June 2010 revealed that all but one of the dead had been shot from above and at close range. In the case of Turkish victim Cetin Topcuoglu, the first bullet entered his head and exited his neck and the second passed through his right shoulder, through his torso and destroyed his liver. The post-mortem evidence adds considerable weight to the claim that not only did the Israeli attack on the Mavi Marmara involve a pre-planned use of lethal force, but that soldiers summarily executed passengers and several people were shot from helicopters. Bizarrely, the autopsy of 61-year-old victim Ibrahim Bilgen revealed a tiny bag containing pellets that was found still intact in his brain. The final official Turkish forensic report stated that all bodies had been washed with alcohol [by Israelis] before being brought to Turkey making it impossible to reach a definite conclusion on the ranges of most shots.
There were no deaths on the other Flotilla boats, however Israeli soldiers used stun grenades, tasers and tear gas and severely beat several passengers.
A People That Shall Dwell Alone
In the days after the attack, Israel was widely condemned for the murders. The Turkish government recalled its ambassador to Israel and cancelled planned joint military Israeli exercises and called for an independent UN inquiry. The Israeli government however continued to claim its soldiers were acting in self-defence and rejected an independent inquiry. Large sections of Israeli society displayed righteous indignation at any criticism of the Israeli action. Official parades celebrating the heroism of the commandos who stormed the ship were held along with demonstrations by schoolchildren giving their unequivocal support for the government against “the new wave of anti-Semitism”. Israeli defence minister Ehud Barak claimed that the intent of the flotilla was not to deliver aid to Gaza but to “humiliate Israel”. However, given the illegal nature of Israel’s blockade of Gaza, there is no way for anyone to independently deliver aid to Gaza without at the same time humiliating Israel and exposing its inhuman treatment of Palestinians.
The Israeli government has worked hard to delegitimise any Palestinian right to their own nation and identity. It is clear that the Israeli blockade of Gaza has little to do with security concerns and everything to do with preventing the emergence of a viable Palestinian state Central to this goal is the continued portrayal of any Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation as ‘terrorism’ when, in reality, resistance (including armed) to an occupying power is a fundamental right laid down in the article four of the third Geneva Convention. According to humanitarian law however, in order to lawfully use force in a conflict, a person must first be designated a lawful ‘combatant’. To be a lawful combatant, a person must belong to an ‘armed resistance group’ and that group must belong to a ‘party’ to the conflict. It is in this fact that we find one of the chief reasons why Israel will never willingly allow the creation of a Palestinian state. As long as Palestine does not have official state status, any Palestinian resistance group cannot claim to be a party in the conflict and must remain a simple independent resistance group, or a ‘terrorist group’ in modern Orwellian parlance.
All Israeli leaders have known that the day that Palestine is officially recognised as an independent state, is the day that Israel will no longer be able to bulldoze Palestinian homes or bomb Palestinian neighbourhoods in the name of fighting terrorism.
The continued deligitimisation of Palestine as a nation then was the main motivation behind the Israeli attack on the Gaza Flotilla. If the Flotilla had succeeded in reaching Gaza, it would not only have established a precedent for future flotillas, but would have sent a clear message to the world that Gaza and Palestine is a sovereign entity, independent of Israeli rule.
By continuing to behave illegally and immorally towards the Palestinian people, and by continuing to thumb its nose at international law and public opinion, Israel places itself and its people in a very precarious position within the international community. Jews have been programmed for centuries by their religious leaders to believe that they are a chosen people. In response to international condemnation following the flotilla attack, the Rabbinical Council of Judea and Samaria issued a statement asserting that the legitimacy of the Jewish people “is not derived from the nations of the world and their poisonous traditions, but rather from the Torah, which teaches us that [Israel] ‘is a people that shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations’”. The flotilla attack “places us at the beginning of the Gog and Magog process where the world is against us, but which ends with the third and final redemption” the statement said.
It would be easy to dismiss this as the archaic rhetoric of a few Rabbis that have no influence on Israeli government or military policy if it were not for the fact that religion clearly plays a central role in the life of Jews from all segments of Israeli society and among the Jewish diaspora. In December 2009 for example, the Israel Defense Force’s chief rabbi told recruits that soldiers who “show mercy” toward the enemy in wartime will be “damned.” Brig. Gen. Avichai Rontzki also told the students that religious individuals made better combat troops. Rontzki referred to Maimonides’ discourse on the laws of war which quotes a passage from the Book of Jeremiah stating: “Cursed be he that doeth the work of the Lord with a slack hand, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.”
As a result of centuries of religious indoctrination and decades of government propaganda, Jews in Israel (and elsewhere) appear unable to accept or understand a fundamental truth – that the land that is now Israel was forcibly taken from Palestinians and that a promise by a mythical deity cannot over-rule the basic human rights of millions. As a result of this cognitive dissonance, many Jews react with indignation when Palestinians reject what Jews believe to be very generous offers to donate perhaps one tenth of the former land of Palestine for a Palestinian homeland, a ‘homeland’ which would amount to small prison enclaves surrounded by the Israeli military. It is for this reason that neither Hamas nor a single Palestinian will recognise Israel’s right to exist in it’s current configuration. Nelson Mandela and most Western democracies also refused to recognise the South African apartheid regime’s right to exist.
Israel today is a nation and society marked by a paranoid personality disorder writ large. For most Jews, Israel must always ‘walk alone’ because Jews are specially chosen by god. In a supreme act of personal disempowerment, they have given up any say in their own future or the future of their nation by submitting to the dictates of a religious text of dubious origin that simultaneously glorifies and condemns them. The cry of ‘anti-Semitism’ serves to buffer Israel and the Jews from all criticism because criticism of Israel or the Jews is understood as simply the fulfilment of biblical prophecy that the world will turn against the Jews and Israel. It is hard to think of a better example of pathological thinking or a self-fulfilling prophecy.
It is just this type of pathological thinking that has led Israel to justify it’s inhuman treatment of the Palestinians as ‘self-defence’ and more recently to excuse it’s murderous attack on the Gaza flotilla. The Jews of Israel would do well to wake up to the fact that, in continuing to show such distain and disregard for human life and world opinion, their political leaders are not only in flagrant violation of international law, but have forgotten the original reason for the creation of a Jewish homeland – to safeguard the future of the Jewish people. Israel’s future as a viable state for Jews and others is intrinsically tied to the Palestinians and the defence of their rights to life and liberty. With each Palestinian that dies as a result of Israeli policy in Palestine, with each new Israeli settlement that is built on Palestinian land, the future of Israel as a viable state is further compromised and the security of the Jewish people jeopardized.

This is a very one sided effort using emotive language and simply brands the publication as a publisher of extreme and politicized articles. Shame on you for missing an opportunity to look at both sides of a situation objectively, apparently never your goal!
A very one-sided article if I ever saw one. It fails to point out that those who were killed were not on the original passenger manifest but, were picked up at another point on the route. They all were found with the same amount of money in their pockets and many could be tied to various terrorist organizations. The IDF films clearly show them to be armed with pipes, later to be learned as cut from the ship’s guard rails. One can easily be killed with a heavy pipe blow to the head if not severely injured as was the intent of this particular group of passengers.
Also, it was found and to the dismay of the Gazans that a majority of the medical supplies delivered by the other 6 ships were out dated medicines that had to be destroyed or obsolete medical equipment. Supplies were only on the other 6 ships in the flotilla and not on the Mavi Marmara, which only carried terrorists and observers. Therefore, the Mavi Marmara was not an aid carrying ship like the others which surrendered peacefully.
Furthermore, the historical background of the article is based on politically inaccurate facts too many to mention at this point. Suffice it to say, one would think that the writer was on the Hamas payroll to write this tripe.
The other side of the story is what you see in the Zionist controlled media every day. Let there be atleast one website that gives a true picture of what is happening on the ground.
Faiz, is everything Zionist controlled but not this lame site? Give us a break, you guys are really pathetic!
I can also start a site and make up anything I want and claim that all others are Zionist controlled expect mine but I have a site already and it is not Zionist controlled and still very different to the BS that is portrayed on here…
Most of the information provided is not even that accurate and certainly not all is true but go ahead and believe what you like, most of the world are stupid like you anyway so you will believe anything you read in any case just because it seems less biased and seems the truth and seems legitimate and is not Zionist controlled – get an education please!
A note to the owner of this site, all your articles are now being reported to the many debunking organizations such as C.A.M.E.R.A – If you continue this, you will only make yourself look like a complete fool when your followers see the inaccuracy and biasness in your articles… One bias doesnt defeat another bias, bias is bias and as much as the “Zionist” media that you claim runs the world (morons think this) also get debunked when they portray crap information so will yours…
This is not a threat, this is a promise!
Have a good day
Jews have always been persecuted. Israel continuously provides evidence of the causal Jewish behavior. Did German Jews acquire disproportionate media, financial and political control as they have in the United States? Did their collective exercise of this control precipitate the Holocaust? America’s multiple and continuing mid east wars have all been initiated with the urging of AIPAC, the Conference of Presidents, and other Israeli agencies. All have benefited Israel at our expense. American Jews were central to, and grossly enriched by, the Wall Street obscenity. Israel is a Jewish state, a racist apartheid state by, of, and for the chosen people. It feigns and exploits alliance, but an ally Israel will never be.
Zook is an Israeli troll.
Oh yea, those expertly trained, heavily armed israeli special forces, with bullet proof vests & metal helmets, were under serious attack. A few out of shape, middle aged peace activists were oh so very scary and menacing with there raised fists and mean faces.Thank God the Israeli heroes were able to overcome the menacing killa flotilla evil doers and save Israel from complete annihalation..
Three cheers for the heroes !!! Hoorah ! You should all pat each other on the backs, another massacre well done. Hoorah !
I know zionists have great imaginations but to even try to defend this type of heartlesss murder is going a bit too far. Nobody believes your bullshit anymore because sites like this are waking us all up. Next time get a better script.
Michael and Zook. The blockade is illegal. The occupation is illegal. Piracy is illegal. The state of Israel is…illegal. Is there any law Israel can’t break and claim it was acting in self-defense? Using white phosphorous? Bombing UN installations, ambulances, schools, hospitals? Dropping thousands of flechette bombs after a cease fire agreement is reached? Here’s the problem – people like you are not objective, not honest with yourselves, and frankly, not sane enough to see Israeli actions as a whole from its horrific inception in 1948 till now. You’d surely say that Haganah, Stern Gang, Irgun were all peace-loving people who were acting in self defense. Was the USS Liberty self defense, King David Hotel bombing? Lavon Affair? Maybe you should stick to articles coming from MEMRI, Rita Katz, American Enterprise Institute, and Heritage Foundation, and WINEP and JINSA. Integrity in journalism obviously isn’t a priority with your ilk. One last thing – why is it that Israel makes nuclear weapons at Dimona, and isn’t a signatory to the NPT and doesn’t allow inspections of its nuclear weapons program?
you should be made illegal with the amount of garbage you talk
are all you people like parrots, you just repeat the same crap to everyone over and over from one to the next, you are all the same, nothing special about any of you idiots here…
you are so dumb that you believe your own words to be truth but they are not your own words, they are words of other people passed on to you…
talk about law, you dont even know the law so why bother even trying to get to know it, are you a lawyer? no you are not, if you were you would know the law and would know that Israel is far from illegal and everything else you mentioned…
I am not a lawyer and even I know this, get out a maritime law and international law book and look it up, dont just assume or take the word of someone else…
why the hell do you think we are so smart, because we just follow like sheep, give us a break, we dont believe half the crap each of us says so we have to question it all and always until we know for sure – we are not sheep, so dont behave like sheep too…
you dont have to like Israel or Jews but you cannot just make up tales as you please just cos your grampa or gramma told ya so or cos you read it on some random website – the internet is full of lies too by the way, so is the media but you still have your own common sense and logic, get out of your dream world for once and do something productive with your lives…
you dont have to like me either, hell i dont even know you guys properly so how can i not like you, the same goes for Israel, you dont know Israel properly AT ALL except what you read and hear, so you cannot even pretend to know what you are talking about, sitting there in the US of A like big shots who think they are making a difference to the world, you are making no difference, just adding to the mindless banter that plagues the internet and wasting my time to have to sit and write this crap to you…
grow a pair of balls and buy the cheapest plane ticket you can find, then come see for yourself, i will not stop saying this even though i will always get some predictable response from some monkey about why he wont come to israel…
I dont care for monkeys, monkeys dont care for me, if you want to be a monkey then go play in a tree, if you want to be a human being then have some damn decency and intelligence and try to learn something the proper way…
do you see me saying bad things about Americans even though you guys seem to be the bulk of people that have something to say about Israel but have never even left your own state more than once your whole life perhaps?
do you see me telling you that your evil Christians who massacred us etc etc or your American army who murdered millions of Indians or how not so long ago your country was as racist as the words that come out of your mouths when you mention Israel or Jews?
I can have a lot more to say about AMERICA and AMERICANS than you could ever come up with about Israel or Jews – I know ALOT more about you lot than you know about us – you havent even hot past the first hurdle of knowing ANYTHING about us…
the next unproductive predictable response will come only from a monkey like I mentioned above – you cannot say I am wrong because you know deep down in your mind that you dont have a clue what an Israeli is or what a Zionist is or what a Jew is, you only know a small percentage…
so please any monkeys like to respond, you will only make yourself look like an idiot if you do – i hope something more intelligent comes but i am not counting on it, i speak from experience with this antisemitic anti-Israel website!
You’re special, right, or “chosen” rather? Take your hasbara somewhere else. Maybe you you should write even more drivel next post. You’ve revealed yourself as just another shrieking mad Zionist low-life, who has a very inflated sense of self-worth. When people say things that are accepted as truth everywhere else in the world except Zionist occupied territory, the lame Israeli megaphoney shills come out and do their wailing and shrieking and crying, and calling everyone anti-semites, and Hitler, and then you cry some more about your puny holocaust and your unique “sufffering”. You ain’t seen nothing yet. Keep on talking. Buh-bye, dork.
uneducated idiot!
Israel Muse is an Israeli troll.
thats me
This article is truly a joke as is this website. The state of Israel is real and completely legal and within its rights to defend itself from terrorists. They Muslim world can claim whatever it wants, but the reality is that it has NEVER wanted to compromise for the sake of peace. They would rather try to pursue their political agenda and sacrifice their kids’ futures than make peace with Jews. It’s a sad fact. All one has to do to understand this reality is look at the leaders of Muslim countries around the world, their tyranny, intolerance and corruption then look at Israel – a democratic state, which btw has a million Palestinians living in it.

otsky said of Russia: “- We should turn Her (Russia) into a desert populated with white Nigers. We will impose upon them such a tyranny that was never dreamt by the most hideous despots of the East. The peculiar trait of that tyranny is that it will be enacted from the left. Rather than the right and it will be red rather than white in color. Its color will be red literally because we would spill such torrents of blood that will pale all human losses of the capitalist wars and make (the survivors) shudder. The largest overseas banks will cooperate with us most closely. If we win the Revolution and squash Russia, on the funeral pyres of its remains we will strengthen the power of Zionism and become a power the whole world would drop in the face of on its knees. We will show (to the world) what the real power means. By way of terror and blood baths we will bring Russian intelligencia into the state of total stupor, to idiocy, to the animal state of being…And so far our young men dressed in leather – the sons of watch repair men from Odessa and Orsha, Gomel and Vinnitza – oh, how beautifully, how brilliantly do they master hatred of everything Russian! With what a great delight do they physically destroy Russian intelligencia – officers, engineers, teachers, priests, generals, agronomists, academicians, writers!” (Secrete Forces in History of Russia.

“Many Jewish leaders of the early days of the revolution have been done to death during the Trotsky trials, others are in prison. Trotsky-Bronstein is in exile. Jankel Gamarnik, the Jewish head of the political section of the army administration, is dead. Another ferocious Jew, Jagoda (Guerchol Yakouda), who was for a long time head of the G.P.U., is now in prison. The Jewish general, Jakir, is dead, and along with him a number of others sacrificed by those of his race. And if we are to judge by the fragmentary and sometimes even contradictory lists which reach us from the Soviet Union, Russians have taken the places of certain Jews on the highest rungs of the Soviet official ladder. Can we draw from this the conclusion that Stalin’s government has shaken itself free of Jewish control and has become a National Government? Certainly no opinion could be more erroneous or more dangerous than that…
The Jews are yielding ground at some points and are sacrificing certain lives, in the hope that by clever arrangements they may succeed in saving their threatened power. They still have in their hands the principal levers of control. The day they will be obliged to give them up the Marxist edifice will collapse like a house of cards.
To prove that, though Jewish domination is gravely compromised, the Jews are still in control, we have only to take the list of the highly placed officials of the Red State. The two brothers-in-law of Stalin, Lazarus and Moses Kaganovitch, are ministers of Transport and of Industry, respectively; Litvinoff (Wallach-Jeyer- Finkelstein) still directs the foreign policy of the Soviet Union…The post of ambassador at Paris is entrusted to the Jew, Louritz, in place of the Russian, Potemkine, who has been recalled to Moscow. If the ambassador of the U.S.S.R. in London, the Jew Maiski, seems to have fallen into disgrace, it is his fellow-Jew, Samuel Kagan, who represents U.S.S.R. on the London Non-Intervention Committee. A Jew named Yureneff (Gofmann) is the ambassador of the U.S.S.R. at Berlin…Since the beginning of the discontent in the Red Army the guard of the Kremlin and the responsibility for Stalin’s personal safety is confided to the Jewish colonel, Jacob Rapaport.
All the internment camps, with their population of seven million Russians, are in charge of the Jew, Mendel Kermann, aided by the Jews, Lazarus Kagan and Semen Firkin. All the prisons of the country, filled with working men and peasants, are governed by the Jew, Kairn Apeter. The News-Agency and the whole Press of the country are controlled by the Jews…The clever system of double control, organized by the late Jankel Gamarnik, head of the political staff of the army, is still functioning, so far as we can discover. I have before me the list of these highly placed Jews, more powerful than the Bluchers and the Egonoffs, to whom the European Press so often alludes. Thus the Jew, Aronchtam, whose name is never mentioned, is the Political Commissar of the Army in the Far East: the Jew Rabinovitch is the Political Commissar of the Baltic Fleet, etc.
All this goes to prove that Stalin’s government, in spite of all its attempts at camouflage, has never been, and will never be, a national government. Israel will always be the controlling power and driving force behind it. Those who do not see that the Soviet Union is not Russian must be blind.” (The Rulers of Russia, Denis Fahey)

Israels wall issn`t any different from the Berlin Wall. Where`s Reagan to say “Mr. Netanyahu, tear down this wall.”
As everyone knows that Israel and its hired poodles have this nasty habit of calling everyone – both allies and critics – anti-Semite, holocaust denier or Jew-hater – whosoever criticizes the zionist entity or Zionism. However, once a while, some people do pick up the courage to return the favor. For example, in December 2001, the French Ambassador to Britain, Daniel Bernard (a Jew I presume), called the zionist entity “That shitty little country, Israel”. John Kaminisky called Israel “an outlaw state”. Some Iranian leaders called it “the little Shyatan (Devil)”. Bishop Tutu and former US President Jimmy Carter called it “an apartheid state”. However, no one has called the Zionist entity “a scum state” before – and the credit for that goes to Frank Johanssan, the director of Amnesty International branch in Finland.
The best part of Frank’s ‘anti-Semitism’ is that unlike Jimmy Carter or Helen Thomas or former Australian MP Julia Irwin – he refuses to apologize for his remarks under Jewish lobby pressure. In an interview via telephone with Israeli daily The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday, he said that he stands by his statement that Israel is a “scum state”.
When asked why he termed Israel a “scum state”, Johansson said because Israel has repeatedly “flouted international law” and due to his “personal experience inside and outside of Israel meeting Israelis”.
Johansson said that his remarks were not anti-Semitic. “I actually praise Breaking the Silence,” he said, referring to an Israeli organization claiming to collect and share testimonies of former IDF soldiers over human rights violations they allegedly witnessed, while rarely providing names of troops, dates and locations of these incidents.

Why is every person who defends Israel or Jews a “paid plant” according to you people?
Can we not just defend our own people and nation without being that, in the same way you are not a paid piglet to start all this crap in the first place?
Actually, Muse, we realize that most of you Israeli Hasbara types work for free. We expect you to defend Israel no matter how many Geneva Conventions it has broken, and no matter how many UN Resolutions it has ignored, and no matter how many Palestinian women and kids it has slaughtered or starved. It’s just what we expect of you.

Robert Wilton, a long time Russia correspondent for the London Times, said in his book The Last Days of the Romanovs “According to the data furnished by the Soviet press, out of 556 important functionaries of the Bolshevik State . . .there were in 1918-1919: 17 Russians, 2 Ukrainians, 11 Armenians, 35 Lets, 15 Germans, 1 Hungarian, 10 Georgians, 2 Poles, 2 Finns, 1 Karaim, 457 Jews.
As the decades past by–after the fateful year 1917–Judaized Khazars kept a firm hand on the helm of the government in the occupied land of Russia. In due time they built a bureaucracy to their heart’s desire.”

I googled “Breaking the Silence”, thanks for the info Rehmat.
Thanks Remat for the info. I had seen it all before, but it’s nice to have it one place.
The problem about defending Israel is that its actions are indefensible. How can anyone but a Zionist defend violating international law. As a matter of fact, Israel can’t exist without violating international law. The Zionists are their own worst enemies–as well as being the enemy of God and Man. Psychopaths writ large.
Really??? anti-Semite?? you better know the term was coined for people of Arab origin and not judaist and rabbical monsters like you!

“The Jews were now free to indulge in their most fervent fantasies of mass murder of helpless victims. Christians were dragged from their beds, tortured and killed. Some were actually sliced to pieces, bit by bit, while others were branded with hot irons, their eyes poked out to induce unbearable pain. Others were placed in boxes with only their heads, hands and legs sticking out. Then hungry rats were placed in the boxes to gnaw upon their bodies. Some were nailed to the ceiling by their fingers or by their feet, and left hanging until they died of exhaustion. Others were chained to the floor and left hanging until they died of exhaustion. Others were chained to the floor and hot lead poured into their mouths. Many were tied to horses and dragged through the streets of the city, while Jewish mobs attacked them with rocks and kicked them to death. Christian mothers were taken to the public square and their babies snatched from their arms. A red Jewish terrorist would take the baby, hold it by the feet, head downward and demand that the Christian mother deny Christ. If she would not, he would toss the baby into the air, and another member of the mob would rush forward and catch it on the tip of his bayonet.
Pregnant Christian women were chained to trees and their babies cut out of their bodies. There were many places of public execution in Russia during the days of the revolution, one of which was described by the American Rohrbach Commission: ‘The whole cement floor of the execution hall of the Jewish Cheka of Kiev was flooded with blood; it formed a level of several inches. It was a horrible mixture of blood, brains and pieces of skull. All the walls were bespattered with blood. Pieces of brains and of scalps were sticking to them. A gutter of 25 centimeters wide by 25 centimeters deep and about 10 meters long was along its length full to the top with blood.
Some bodies were disemboweled, others had limbs chopped off, some were literally hacked to pieces. Some had their eyes put out, the head, face and neck and trunk were covered with deep wounds. Further on, we found a corpse with a wedge driven into its chest. Some had no tongues. In a corner we discovered a quantity of dismembered arms and legs belonging to no bodies that we could locate.’” (Defender Magazine, October 1933).

Here’s a former Israeli minister saying that the Israeli government, as a matter of policy, uses “the anti-Semitism trick” to conflate anti-Zionism with anti-Judaism and silence all opposition:

In 1920, Winston Churchill wrote a long newspaper article regarding the recent Bolshevik seizure of Russia. After praising what he called the “national Jews” of Russia, he said:
“In violent opposition to all this sphere of Jewish efforts rise the schemes of the International Jews. The adherents of this sinister confederacy are mostly men reared up among the unhappy populations of countries where Jews are persecuted on account of their race. Most, if not all, of them have forsaken the faith of their forefathers, and divorced from their minds all spiritual hopes of the next world. This movement among the Jews is not new. From the days of Spartacus-Weishaupt to those of Karl Marx, and down to Trotsky (Russia), Bela Kun (Hungary), Rosa Luxemburg (Germany), and Emma Goldman (United States), this world-wide revolutionary conspiracy for the overthrow of civilization and for the reconstitution of society on the basis of arrested development, of envious malevolence, and impossible equality, has been steadily growing. It played, as a modern writer, Mrs. Webster has ably shown, a definite recognizable part in the tragedy of the French Revolution. It has been the mainspring of every subversive movement during the Nineteenth Century; and now at last this band of extraordinary personalities from the underworlds of the great cities of Europe and America have gripped the Russian people by the hair of their heads and have become practically the undisputed masters of the enormous empire.
There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creating of Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian Revolution by these international and for the most part atheistic Jews. It is certainly the very great one; it probably outweighs all others. With the notable exception of Lenin, the majority of the leading figures are Jews. Moreover, the principal inspiration and driving power comes from the Jewish leaders… In the Soviet institutions the predominance of Jews is even more astounding. And the prominent if not the principal part in the system of terrorism applied by the extraordinary Commissions for combating Counter Revolution has been take by Jews, and in some notable cases by Jewesses. The same evil prominence was obtained by Jews in the brief period of terror during which Bela Kun ruled in Hungary. The same phenomenon has been presented in Germany (especially Bavaria), so far as this madness has been allowed to prey upon the temporary prostration of the German people. Although in all these countries there are many nonJews every whit as bad as the worst of the Jewish revolutionaries, the part played by the latter in proportion to their numbers in the population is astonishing.

“The Red Terror became so wide-spread that it is impossible to give here all the details of the principal means employed by the [Jewish] Cheka(s) to master resistance; one of the most important is that of hostages, taken among all social classes. These are held responsible for any anti-Bolshevist movements (revolts, the White Army, strikes, refusal of a village to give its harvest etc.) and are immediately executed. Thus, for the assassination of the Jew Ouritzky, member of the Extraordinary Commission of Petrograd, several thousands of them were put to death, and many of these unfortunate men and women suffered before death various tortures inflicted by cold-blooded cruelty in the prisons of the Cheka.
I have in front of me photographs taken at Kharkoff, in the presence of the Allied Missions, immediately after the Reds had abandoned the town; they consist of a series of ghastly reproductions such as: Bodies of three workmen taken as hostages from a factory which went on strike. One had his eyes burnt, his lips and nose cut off; the other two had their hands cut off.
The bodies of hostages, S. Afaniasouk and P. Prokpovitch, small landed proprietors, who were scalped by their executioners; S. Afaniasouk shows numerous burns caused by a white hot sword blade. The body of M. Bobroff, a former officer, who had his tongue and one hand cut off and the skin torn off from his left leg.
Human skin torn from the hands of several victims by means of a metallic comb. This sinister find was the result of a careful inspection of the cellar of the Extraordinary Commission of Kharkoff. The retired general Pontiafa, a hostage who had the skin of his right hand torn off and the genital parts mutilated.
Mutilated bodies of women hostages: S. Ivanovna, owner of a drapery business, Mme. A.L. Carolshaja, wife of a colonel, Mmo. Khlopova, a property owner. They had their breasts slit and emptied and the genital parts burnt and having trace of coal.
Bodies of four peasant hostages, Bondarenko, Pookhikle, Sevenetry, and Sidorfehouk, with atrociously mutilated faces, the genital parts having been operated upon by Chinese torturers in a manner unknown to European doctors in whose opinion the agony caused to the victims must have been dreadful.
It is impossible to enumerate all the forms of savagery which the Red Terror took. A volume would not contain them. The Cheka of Kharkoff, for example, in which Saenko operated, had the specialty of scalping victims and taking off the skin of their hands as one takes off a glove…At Voronege the victims were shut up naked in a barrel studded with nails which was then rolled about. Their foreheads were branded with a red hot iron five pointed star. At Tsaritsin and at Kamishin their bones were sawed…At Keif the victim was shut up in a chest containing decomposing corpses; after firing shots above his head his torturers told him that he would be buried alive. The chest was buried and opened again half an hour later when the interrogation of the victim was proceeded with. The scene was repeated several times over. It is not surprising that many victims went mad.” (S.P. Melgounov, p. 164-166; The Secret Powers Behind Revolution, by Vicomte Leon De Poncins, p. 151-153).

Sons of Israel! The hour of our ultimate victory is near. We stand on the threshold to the command of the world. That which we could only dream of before us is about to be realized. Only quite recently feeble and powerless, we can now, thanks to the world’s catastrophe, raise our heads with pride. We must, however, be careful. It can surely be prophesied that, after we have marched over ruined and broken altars and thrones, we shall advance further on the same indicated path.
The authority of the, to us, alien religions and doctrines of faith we have through very successful propaganda, subject to a merciless criticism and mockery. We have brought the culture, civilization, traditions and thrones of the Christian Nations to stagger. We have done everything to bring the Russian people under the yoke of the Jewish power, and ultimately compelled them to fall on their knees before us.
We have nearly completed all this but we must all the same be very cautious, because the oppressed Russia is our arch-enemy. The victory over Russia, gained through our intellectual superiority, may in the future, in a new generation, turn against us.
Russia is conquered and brought to the ground. Russia is in the agony of death under our heel, but do not forget, not even for a moment, that we must be careful! The holy care for our safety does not allow us to show either pity or mercy. At last we have been allowed to behold the bitter need of the Russian people, and to see it in tears! By taking from them their property, their gold, we have reduced this people to helpless slaves. Be cautious and silent! We ought to have no mercy for our enemy. We must make an end of the best and leading elements of the Russian people, so that the vanquished Russia may not find any leader!
Thereby every possibility will vanish for them to resist our power. We must excite hatred and disputes between workers and peasants. War and the class-struggle will destroy all treasures and culture created by the Christian people. But be cautious, sons of Israel! Our victory is near, because our political and economic power and influence upon the masses are in rapid progress. We buy up Government loans and gold, and thereby we have controlling power over the world’s exchanges. The power is in our hands, but be careful, place no faith in traitorous shady powers!
Bronstein (Trotsky), Apfelbaum (Zinovieff), Rosenfeld (Kamaneff), Steinberg, all of them are like unto thousands of other true sons of Israel. Our power in Russia is unlimited. In the towns, the Commissariats and Commissions of Food, House Commissions, etc., are dominated by our people. But do not let victory intoxicate you. Be careful, cautious, because no one except yourselves will protect us! Remember we cannot rely on the Red Army, which one day may turn its warfare on ourselves.
Sons of Israel! The hour for our long-cherished victory over Russia is near; close up solid your ranks! Make known our people’s national policy! Fight for eternal ideals! Keep holy the old laws, which history has bequeathed to us! May our intellect, our genius, protect and lead us!” (The Central Committee of the Petersburg Branch of the Israelite International League).

Isreal attacked the Pueblo? I thought that was the North Vietnamese. Israel attacked the USS Liberty and machine gunned helpless American sailors. Hey, if LBJ gave them a pass, was it Mossad who helped him into the Presidency?
This article could have been written by Hamas it is so one sided. As a Veteran this article disgust me. Next it will be asking us to give to the terrorist benevolence fund.
Yeah, good one. it’s hard to swallow something that wasn’t first written or vetted by AIPAC, huh? Idiot. You’re a veteran, not a Veteran. Get over yourself, tool. I don’t call myself a Mailman.

[...] A People That Shall Dwell Alone – Israel’s Attack On The Gaza Flotilla [...]
There is only one God and that God does not hate anyone. There cannot be two Gods!
God does not condone violence, murder and inhuman behaviour against your own brothers and sisters rather the principles goes “Not to harm others by thought, word or action.”
Only those who understand this and practice it are the chosen people of God because God works through them. There is no future for Israel unless they surrender to God. Humanity is one. Palestinians are as much loved by God as the Jews – but only those who can accept this will win in the end that is for sure.
Watch out awakened humanity is on the rise and the tide is growing every day supporting true human values based on universal spirituality.
Hi Rama,
There are many other worldly forces. Yes, I believe there was an is a central controlling diety, but there are other gods. The Judaic religions got hooked up with one who claimed to be the only god. Obviously there are other gods because the god who claims to be the “almighty” one warns us against “false gods.” Ahhh, yes, you’ve taken “I am who am”s word for it, and he gives you the right to kill everyone who doesn’t believe I am who am. Why is it that Jews, Muslims and Christians think they have the right to annihilate any and everyone who doesn’t want to submit to I am who am? The license to kill comes directly out of I am the only god ideology, and the notion that what God doesn’t want to do for itself, the believers should do for him–like kill unbelievers.
But I have to agree with the rest of your message. Yes, humanity is awakening to the brutality of the Zionists; and yes, Palestinians are loved. Too bad the Zionists can’t love their neighbors as themselves. Cause that’s the law. Love God with your whole heart, your whole mind, and you whole soul, and love your neighbor as yourself. Pretty clear, isn’t it? Bet a Rabbinical Zionist would find something to quibble about, like that pertains to orthodox Jews only. G_d
certainly tell them to love the goyim any more than he would expect you to smooch a cow.
Michael, Zook, Israel Muse–how many comments by these stinking Israeli trolls do I have to read before I can read comments by real Americans? Why don’t you guys from Tel Aviv get real jobs? Or is Hasbara still the number one employer there?
Niall; thanks for keeping this story alive…unfortunately, ALL the passengers aren’t. Way to go Israel…you showed the world your TRUE NATURE once again.
Watch the BBC coverage of the flotilla incident.. gives a more true account then this one sided article…
The BBC coverage… you mean first class propaganda as only the BBC can deliver?
http://www.veteranstoday.com/2010/08/17/a-beautiful-gift-from-the-bbc/
everything is propaganda to you folks except the videos and articles you post apparently – how stupid do you think we are?
the BBC video was pretty fair actually, you only call it propaganda because it doesnt fit into your wishes of how things went or your perspective on things, if it fit into your perspective then you wouldnt call it propaganda and we probably would…
you need to learn the difference between propaganda and fair reporting, not that there is much around these days but some are a lot better than others…
dont send me a link to an article please, i have read enough to know better by now – an article link will not convince me of anything, as I do not believe what I read at face value, I question everything including the flotilla incident from both sides of things…
it is very easy to ignore the obvious things when you dont want to see them that way, this means that propaganda is working for you, how unlucky for you but I prefer to use my own intelligence and common sense to make my own assumptions of things – either way my word and your word is meaningless in the grand scheme of things anyway, it will not stop propaganda from either side so what is the point of all this…
you are not changing the world, you are only trying to show how messed up it all is already and you are doing a very good job at it, well done again!!
sorry by you I dont mean you personally , I mean everyone on this damn site except the ones you actually have some intellect…
im still wondering why i bother sending comments here… they just dont sink in and no one here knows how to listen, only how to make us stories based on assumptions and poor proof or call people names or this or that, not a single bit of listening…
bleh!
There are different recaps of what actually took place on Mavi Marmara and the murders of 9 people.
IDF and Israel has confiscated all evidence but the videos smuggled and put out on youtube. The world will not get a chance to see the whole truth as Israel will not allow these footage to be seen. Israel will also prevent those that will attempt to talk to the soldiers.
So what is the world left with; the accounts by those that witnessed the events calling them shameless “murders”.
Sooner or later, the world will put an end to the acts of aggression by Israel. The question is how long will they be allowed to keep on disregarding international law, murder by labeling people as “enemy” and “terrorists”?
It is sickening when claims are made that the passengers on Mavi Marmara were out to get Israel and the IDF. Watch the footage available when the passengers throw an IDF commando overboard instead of killing him. And then there are the three IDF soldiers taken to lower deck to be treated when the IDF were busy with their killing on the upper deck. If the intent was to kill, passengers did have the opportunity.
IDF did not show restraint and caused the bloodshed with disproportionate response to their piracy act on international waters.
Israel Muse: im still wondering why i bother sending comments here
Then don’t bother. It’s all Hasbara crap anyway.
Trotsky said of Russia: “- We should turn Her (Russia) into a desert populated with white Nigers. We will impose upon them such a tyranny that was never dreamt by the most hideous despots of the East. The peculiar trait of that tyranny is that it will be enacted from the left. Rather than the right and it will be red rather than white in color. Its color will be red literally because we would spill such torrents of blood that will pale all human losses of the capitalist wars and make (the survivors) shudder. The largest overseas banks will cooperate with us most closely. If we win the Revolution and squash Russia, on the funeral pyres of its remains we will strengthen the power of Zionism and become a power the whole world would drop in the face of on its knees. We will show (to the world) what the real power means. By way of terror and blood baths we will bring Russian intelligencia into the state of total stupor, to idiocy, to the animal state of being…And so far our young men dressed in leather – the sons of watch repair men from Odessa and Orsha, Gomel and Vinnitza – oh, how beautifully, how brilliantly do they master hatred of everything Russian!

The BBC has become notorious for massaging the new to make Israel look good. A lot of their news people are good, but are gagged by the Zionist stooges who run the corporation. The BBC flotilla coverage was pure Zio propaganda.
Hey COLostomy-bag Jagoff,
You’re anti-semitic for supporting the genocide of the true semites – the Palestinians. Take your crap somewhere else along with that Israel Muser Loser. Go think about what Helen Thomas said, and get in touch with your roots, in Ukraine, or Poland, Germany, or whichever Eastern European country your forebears lurked in the shadows. You’re imposters, all of you, the ones who call themselves Jews, but are not. We know you by your works, they are the work of the devil. All anyone is saying is that Jews in Israel should stop murdering Palestinians and stealing their land. Nobody is saying Jews need to get out, but the Jews want their cake and eat it too, as always, and they have shown themselves to be the biggest savages the world over – they will not stop until their genocide is complete. You all have Old Testament on the brain. What is wrong with you, seriously? Israel is not to be taken seriously, as nobody would who went around murdering people daily and bulldozing their houses. There is nothing anyone can say or do to change your mind, so please, move along, and le tthose who haven’t seen the true face of Israel learn a thing or two. Stop trying to smear people for sharing much needed information. You’re like a little bratty kid in the sandbox who nobody likes because he never shuts the hell up.
Oh, fuck Israel anyway. I’m sick of hearing about it.
agreed, ASHKE’NAZI TALMUDISTS ARE EGG-SUCKERS
So, you’re an IDF colonel, are you Jack?
KHAZAR TALMUDISTS ARE NOT SEMITIC
PALESTINIANS ARE SEMITIC
ISRAELI ASHKE’NAZIS ARE ANTI-SEMITIC
A very good article overall, but when the evil Mandela is mentioned then you lose my attention. I suggest the author research the illegal/immoral actions of Mandela before holding him up as some saint. I see Mandela as one notch above Mugabe, and that’s about as low as it gets. Many of the S.A. Blacks now openly admit that the current regime is far worse than the Whites who were in charge. Politically Correct rhetoric should always be avoided since the facts usually say otherwise.
Jews have always been persecuted. Israel continuously provides evidence of the causal Jewish behavior. Did German Jews acquire disproportionate media, financial and political control as they have in the United States? Did their collective exercise of that control precipitate the Holocaust? America’s multiple and continuing mid east wars have all been initiated with the urging of AIPAC, the Conference of Presidents, and other Israeli agencies. All have benefited Israel at our expense. American Jews were central to, and grossly enriched by, the Wall Street obscenity. Israel is a Jewish state, a racist apartheid state by, of, and for the chosen people. It feigns and exploits alliance, but an ally Israel will never be.
