Watch Israeli Forces Attack Activists on board Mavi Marmara
May 31st, 2010 § 6 Comments
Israeli spokesman Mark Regev just told Al Jazeera that the Israeli forces who killed more than 10 passengers aboard the Turkish humanitarian aid convoy the Mavi Marmara were merely responding to an attack “initiated” by passengers. Regev claims the passengers were armed with knives and clubs. The surviving activists argue that they were unarmed and that the boat was only stocked with humanitarian aid for Gaza. Remember, the activists were in international waters, and they even raised a white flag after some passengers were shot.
One important question that was brought to Regev by the Al Jazeera interviewer: if the Israeli forces were merely ordered to tow the boat in, why were they armed with real and not rubber bullets?
Watch the chaos for yourself below. Warning, disturbing images.
كلنا فلسطينيون We are all Palestinians כולנו פלסטינים
why don’t we see no photos from the moments of the boarding itself ? how can it be that only the idf has published photos and movies from these moments ?
why is it that no single movie, from the minute of the beginning of the interception, until the completion of the interception has been shown to the public ?
it does seem that each side is trying to show only photos that are comfortable for its narrative. and it is a shame that al-jazeera is taking a side like that.
The question is not what happened after the arrival of the Israeli goons, it is their arrival itself. The boats were in international waters, and any attempt by armed men to commandeer them is an act of war. If the activists did use their kitchen knives and sticks to defend themselves, I can only salute them. They had every right to.

we have to be one hand and stand against Israel. because if we Arab are all union Israel can never stop us ever.i hope that would happen.
Those Zionists are devils and forever cannot be trusted.
From the era of Rasul SAW they committed lies to our relatives muslims.
One day will come where they will be punished and if we are there to witness, may Allah choose us to become one of the fighters. Amin
