Israel: At Least 10 Killed on Gaza Flotilla
« on: May 30, 2010, 11:55:09 PM »
Passengers tried to wrest weapons from soldiers, Army Radio reports; Turkish leadership call emergency meeting to discuss response to attack at sea, call in Israeli ambassador.

Passengers tried to grab weapons away from soldiers boarding the Gaza protest flotilla, starting the violence, Army Radio reported Tuesday morning, responding to accusations that Israeli commandos assaulted the ships guns blazing.

Activists aboard the ships repeatedly said they would not respond with violence to the navy's interception of their flotilla.

They were warned but they wanted headlines.

If it was really about bringing aid to Gaza they would dock as Ashdod and let the UN transfer the cargo to the Gazans.

.Israel: At Least 10 Killed on Gaza Flotilla

Quote
JERUSALEM (AP) -- Israeli commandos on Monday stormed six ships carrying hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists on an aid mission to the blockaded Gaza Strip, killing at least 10 people and wounding dozens after encountering unexpected resistance as the forces boarded the vessels.

The operation in international waters off the Gaza coast was a nightmare scenario for Israel that looked certain to further damage its international standing, strain already tense relations with Turkey -- the unofficial sponsor of the mission -- and draw unwanted attention to Gaza's plight.
Then it goes on about Euroweenies crying over evil Israel...
BUT the truth surfaces here:
Quote
An Al-Jazeera reporter on one of the Turkish ships said the Israelis fired at the vessel before boarding it. The Israelis, who had declared they would not let the ships reach Gaza, said they only opened fire after being attacked by activists with sticks, knives and live fire from weapons seized from the Israeli commandos.

"On board the ship we found weapons prepared in advance and used against our forces," declared Israel's deputy foreign minister, Danny Ayalon.

"The organizers' intent was violent, their method was violent and the results were unfortunately violent. Israel regrets any loss of life and did everything to avoid this outcome."

Now I gotta go and find Euro-rags and leave supporting comments for Israel.
What is it about Euopean culture that robs manhood from its men?

Hmmm. Do I wanna burn my mole at DU to say I have no sympathy for the activists?

I've read that 2 IDF soldiers were seriously injured.

They told them not to do it, and they disobeyed. If they don't want to be blockaded then they have to stop building missiles and smuggling weapons.

I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop on this one. They may have been stupid enough to be smuggling high explosives and the like on those ships.

Too bad a Mk 48 couldn't be used on at least one of the ships.

Also, I think that this emoticon is appropriate here:

They began beating the first soldier as soon as he landed on the vessel, then threw him off the deck. Geez, what do you think is going to happen when you attack soldiers?

FNC was saying that these Israeli commandos were using crowd dispersal weapons--paintball guns, in effect, and they had handguns on them.  The "activists" took two of the handguns, and the Israeli commandos found both of them--unloaded (they were probably fired at the Israelis).

That is good to hear! I hope Netanyahu disregards any pressure Lord Zero puts on him to restrain and do what needs to be done against Pallywood, Syria and Iran.

Condemnation Follows Israeli Raid On Gaza Flotilla  ..

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=127286256&ft=1&f=1001 

Quote
Israeli naval commandos stormed a flotilla of ships carrying aid and hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists to the blockaded Gaza Strip on Monday, killing at least 10 passengers in a predawn raid that set off worldwide condemnation and a diplomatic crisis.

Officials in Israel said the elite naval units were attacked as they attempted to board one of the ships, and that the commandos used live fire only when they felt their lives were threatened. Dozens of passengers and at least five Israeli soldiers were wounded in the confrontation in international waters.

The incident triggered outrage in the Arab world and across Europe, as many of the passengers were from European countries. The raid also strained already tense relations with Israel's longtime Muslim ally Turkey, the unofficial sponsor of the mission, and drew more attention to the plight of Gaza's 1.5 million people.
Hey CAIR is upset.... :censored:

CAIR: President Obama Must Condemn Gaza Flotilla 'Massacre'

WASHINGTON, May 31 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today urged President Obama to condemn what the Muslim civil rights group called an Israeli "massacre" of civilians on a flotilla of ships in international waters seeking to bring humanitarian aid to the people of the Gaza Strip. Israeli commandos killed at least 10 civilians in a pre-dawn raid on the flotilla.

It is too bad the jihadists did not try to use her as a human shield. She needs to learn that the people she defends have not one care for human life, not even their own.

Here is what I don't get. Why doesn't Israel make Gaza Strip and West Banks part of Israel and Palestinians under Israeli rule. The Palestinians are living under a dictatorship that feeds hate day in day out. I see the Palestinians as pawns by other Arab nations, like Saudi Arabia and to some extent Al-Qaeda. Have they done anything for the Palestinians? No! They treat like second class citizens and they could care less for them.

Activists from President's circle of friends top supporters of anti-Israel protest ships

The group behind the Gaza flotilla that engaged in deadly clashes with Israeli commandos today counts among its top supporters the friends and associates of President Barack Obama, namely the founders of the Weather Underground terrorist organization, William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, as well as Jodie Evans, the leader of the radical activist organization Code Pink.

Earlier today, Israeli navy commandos raided the six-ship flotilla, encountering heavy resistance and live fire from the activists. Several activists were killed and dozens of others were reportedly injured, as were several of the Israeli commandos.
