To DOWNLOAD THIS VIDEO : tc.indymedia.org/files/flotilla-footage/index.html On the night of Sunday, May 30, showing a terrifying disregard for human life, Israeli naval forces surrounded and boarded ships sailing to bring humanitarian aid to the blockaded Gaza Strip. On the largest ship, the Mavi Marmara, Israeli commandos opened fire on civilian passengers, killing at least 9 passengers and wounding dozens more. Others are still missing. The final death toll is yet to be determined. Cultures of Resistance director Iara Lee was aboard the besieged ship and has since returned home safely. Despite the Israeli government's thorough efforts to confiscate all footage taken during the attack, Iara Lee was able to retain some of her recordings. Above is raw footage from the moments leading up to and during the Israeli commandos' assault on the Mavi Marmara.

Sep 9, 2010 - @longbobby1 "Why aren't you answering my questions ? Is it your guilt or your genetic mendacity that is keeping U from giving me honest answers ?" You don't ask honest questions. There is a difference between enforcing a blockade and breaking one. At least there is to people with brains that haven't been rotted by their Jew-hatred. Shana Tova.

Sep 9, 2010 - I learned about 9/11 from the news. Before the second plane had crashed, people in the crowd told me and the rest of America it was Osama bin Laden and Arab hijackers trained in Afghanistan with the help of Saddam Hussein. A BBC reporter then told me Building 7 had just collapsed, though it was almost totally undamaged and standing 47 stories tall, right there on the TV screen behind her. -Cont-

Sep 9, 2010 - An Israel film crew, found later to be Mossad agents, partied in the streets, having filmed the attacks. They couldn't control their joy in seeing thousands of Americans die. The equipment gathered up days in advance, cameras loaded the night before.

longbobby1 Says:

Sep 9, 2010 - Hours before the attack, they began their drive, selecting the perfect spot, setting up their cameras and perhaps some other electronic equipment as well. Their rationale, "We were there to film the planes crashing into the World Trade Center." "God bless us all," those news people from the Mossad are clever ones, prescient to a fault.

Sep 9, 2010 - Fact - Iara Lee lied when she said that "within minutes" of the IDF's arrival 'activists' ceased 'resisting' and sought medical assistance from them Fact - 'activists' continued to hold 3 IDF hostages AFTER the IDF had taken control of the bridge Fact - 'activists' appear to have attempted to use the hostages to get medical help Fact - 'activists' broadcast their plea in English although a Hebrew speaker was available

Sep 9, 2010 - @fuckUrube "It's a stupid question that doesn't deserve an answer " I KNEW you wouldn't give me an honest answer. Had the izzies been inspecting the ships within the 12 mile international boundary they MIGHT have had a legal right; but NOT 73 miles from the coastline and 61 miles away from the outer border of izland territorial waters. And as the UN has been thoughtful and honest enough to tell us; it IS legal to break an illegal blockade. Why aren't YOU being that thoughtful and honest ?

finitube Says:

Sep 9, 2010 - Fact - Haneen Zuabi tried to STOP the IDF from evacuating seriously wounded 'activists' to hospitals in Israel Fact - Iara Lee first said she couldn't distinguish between the sounds of rubber bullets and live fire. Two weeks later she said the IDF started out with a mix of the two. Fact - Iara Lee first said she was "shocked" by the IDF's use of tear gas, rubber bullets, and "so forth". Two weeks later she said she had expected it.

Sep 9, 2010 - Global BDS Against Israel Is Working The Flotilla was "a first-of-its-kind collaboration" between Hamas and the Resistance and Delegitimization Networks. Turkey's involvement was the "difference that made the difference." In addition, its organizers' ability to gain Western progressive elite support turned Israel's interdiction into a "global and politically explosive event." RI called it a "clash of brands," Israel tarnished and defeated in the eyes of world public opinion. --- FOREVER !!!

finitube Says:

Sep 9, 2010 - Fact - Kevin Neish told the CBC on June 3 that the captured IDF commandos were not injured. In this video he describes the first two as "wounded and bleeding". The third - whom we see being taken below decks in this video, with Neish looking on - has a bloody wound on his abdomen. Fact - Farooq Burney told Al Jazeera that the metal rods were "not brought on board" for the purpose to which they were put. The Turk in the BBC special explained that they were CUT for exactly that purpose.

longbobby1 Says:

Sep 9, 2010 - The Tel Aviv-based Reut Institute (RI) provides "real-time strategic decision-making" support in areas of national security and socioeconomic policy. Its new report titled "The Gaza Flotilla: The Collapse of Israel's Political Firewall" suggests it's working. It followed an earlier one on "creating a political firewall" against Israel's "delegitimization challenge," recommending sabotage and subterfuge against growing global forces it fears, not an equitable solution it rejects.

longbobby1 Says:

Sep 9, 2010 - Focusing now on the Gaza Flotilla, it called it "the tip of the iceberg" attempt along with the BDS movement and Durban conference against racism to cause "tangible and significant damage to Israel." Unmentioned was how expert Israel is in self-inflicting it by decades of occupation and crimes of war and against humanity.

longbobby1 Says:

Sep 9, 2010 - Clearly they're having an effect, RI saying opposition "momentum is gaining," its aim "to delegitimize Israel in order to precipitate its implosion, inspired by the collapses of" apartheid South Africa and the Soviet Union. Calling the challenge global, systemic and political, RI blames two cooperating forces: – the Iran/Hamas/Hezbollah "Resistance Network;" and – the "Delegimization Network" based in cities like London, Brussels and San Francisco.

Sep 9, 2010 - Fact - Ebrahim Musaji, who is prominently featured in this video, said at a press conference in Bristol on June 7 that taking IDF soldiers hostage was discussed BEFORE the IDF raid began. Fact - Neish says that in preparation, 'activists' collected nuts and bolts from the engine room and put them in piles around the edges of the deck where IDF in fastboats were expected to try to board. Fact - Neish says that 3-foot sections of chain were cut from the ship to use to "whip at" the IDF.

finitube Says:

Sep 9, 2010 - Fact - both Iara Lee and Farooq Burney have said that 'activists' only grabbed what was 'at hand' when the IDF arrived. Fact - Neish and the Turk have said that chains, metal rods and nuts and bolts were prepared for use specifically against the IDF.

longbobby1 Says:

Sep 9, 2010 - @fuckUrube LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION !!! FACTS , FACTS, FACTS, Is that going to be the name of your new fictional movie about what happened on the MM, rube ? "FACTS, FACTS, FACTS !!!" Catchy title.

finitube Says:

Sep 9, 2010 - Fact - Ken O'Keefe has claimed that he took the bullets out of the pistol he took from a captured commando and threw them overboard but kept the gun as 'evidence'. Fact - NOBODY has accounted directly for the pistols of the other two commandos taken hostage. We hear only "I was told..." "They said..." "I trust them...". No names, just rumor.

longbobby1 Says:

Sep 9, 2010 - @fuckUrube Shameless lies from a criminal caught red-handed: Haaretz's Gideon Levy saying: "The Israeli propaganda machine has reached new highs (distributing) false information. It embarrassed itself by entering a futile public relations battle....There is nothing to explain, certainly not to a world that will never buy (its) web of explanations, lies and tactics." -- Why is it that your fellow ashkenazi is more honest about what happened than YOU are ?

finitube Says:

Sep 9, 2010 - @longbobby1 Right... vague insinuations. If you take issue with anything I said is a fact, why don't you say which ones and why, instead of doing more of your vague insinuating? Oh, I forgot, you'd rather obscure what Yildirim and the other Turk said by crying about how pro-Israel the BBC are. LOL!!!!

finitube Says:

Sep 9, 2010 - Fact - in the recent BBC Panorama special, Ken O'Keefe used the phrase "NON-LETHAL resistance" to describe the Mavi Marmara's tactics. You gotta hand it to him - at least he's dropped the pretense of a 'peaceful humanitarian'.

finitube Says:

Sep 9, 2010 - Face it, longbooby, the 'activists' themselves are backing up the IDF account.

finitube Says:

Sep 9, 2010 - @longbobby1 "Had the izzies been inspecting the ships within the 12 mile international boundary they MIGHT have had a legal right;" Wrong. Read the San Remo manual. Interdiction of ships declaring their intent to break a blockade is permitted in international waters.

longbobby1 Says:

Sep 9, 2010 - @fuckUrube Funny how you cite the SRM but failed to cite which section it is your are quoting from. Change the text little bit, did you ? However, declaring an intent to break an illegal blockade IS legal even though you will never admit it. Face it rube; international laws don't mean a damn thing to you or any other izzie; if they did you wouldn't be playing the game you are playing now. But hey, go ahead and wiggle on the hook some more lying your head off about poor innocent izlland.

longbobby1 Says:

Sep 9, 2010 - @fuckUrube "the 'activists' themselves are backing up the IDF account." Then why are YOU constantly lying about the activists ? Why have you lied about the activists from day 1 since you first infested this thread ?

longbobby1 Says:

Sep 9, 2010 - @fuckUrube "NON-LETHAL resistance" Oh ? Did any IDF terrorists die as as a result of their illegal raid ? Whats that you said ? It was so soft I couldn't hear it. Did you say "no"? That is what non lethal means you dolt.

longbobby1 Says:

Sep 9, 2010 - @fuckUrube Now, for the 3rd time... What do you think would have happened if the peace activists had rappelled down to one of the izzie ships from a helicopter ? Or from two helicopters ? Or from three helicopters ? Would your "friendly" "democratic" and "moral" fellow terrorists have given them lox and bagels and allowed them to have the run of the ship ? Why are you avoiding these questions ? Is it your guilt or your genetic mendacity that is keeping U from giving me honest answers ?
