You guys really need to stop with this propaganda videos. I sure didn’t see any white flags when those guys were pummeling the IDF soldiers with metal pipes and stabbing them on the ship. I wonder why you guys insist on posting crap which has been shown to be false.

The German newspaper, Die Welt writes:
“As always, the situation is more complex than it is being portrayed. It is telling that the fighting only broke out on one boat in the flotilla: the Mavi Marmara, the only passenger ship, which was commanded by the radical Islamic Insani Yardim Yakfi (IHH). It is a group that has, since the 1990s, been accused by the American and French secret services of maintaining ties to jihadist organizations under the guise of humanitarian aid. In recent years, they successfully collected donations for the terrorist Hamas organization, which they then smuggled into the Gaza Strip. It appears that there were radical Islamist elements aboard the IHH ship … who didn’t want to limit their actions to peaceful resistance.”

Yeah, the IHH is a sweetheart of a charity:

“The Turkish IHH (Islan Haklary Ve Hurriyetleri Vakfi in Turkish) was founded in 1992, and reportedly popped up on the CIA’s radar in 1996 for its radical Islamist leanings. Like many other Islamist charities, the IHH has a record of providing relief to areas where disaster has struck in the Muslim world.

However, the organization is not a force for good. The Turkish nonprofit belongs to a Saudi-based umbrella organization known to finance terrorism called the Union of Good (Ittilaf al-Kheir in Arabic). Notably, the Union is chaired by Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi, who is known best for his religious ruling that encourages suicide attacks against Israeli civilians. According to one report, Qardawi personally transferred millions of dollars to the Union in an effort to provide financial support to Hamas.

In 2008, the Israelis banned IHH, along with 35 other Islamist charities worldwide, for its ties to the Union of Good. This was a follow-on designation; Israelis first blocked the Union of Good from operating in the West Bank and Gaza in 2002.

Interestingly, the Union of Good may not only be tied to Hamas. Included in the Israeli list of 36 designees was the International Islamic Relief Organization (IIRO). In 2006, both the U.S. government and the United Nations designated the IIRO branch offices in Indonesia and the Philippines for financing al Qaeda. French magistrate Jean-Louis Brougiere also testified that IHH had an “important role” in Ahmed Ressam’s failed “millennium plot” to bomb the Los Angeles airport in late 1999.”

Gee-ralda wasn’t there?

The Israelis have only one response to the bloody provocation: Starve the Gaza population faster to death.

After ignoring warning after warning from the Israelis, the supporters of Hammas have learned the IDF’s words have meaning. I wonder if the recently whacked are considered martyrs and have all the ameneties thereof?

Don’t get me wrong folks, I believe the irreconcilable differences between the Muslims and the Jews will ultimately bring on the destruction of the human race–both sides have, at times, behaved like savages–but this struggle has gone on for about 5K years, and it will not end until one or the other are made extinct.

AND THERE’S NOT A DAMNED THING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT! If you think about all the “diplomacy” and money that has been poured into encouraging these two groups live in peace, you will know my words are true. I wish to hell they were not.

Flotilla Raid? LOL If the Israelis wanted to Raid the ship, they would have stayed in the helicopter strafed anyone they could see on deck, then boarded the ship. It was an Inspection that was announced! You swing chains, knives and boards at soldiers you are going to be shot. Plane and simple….
