Freedom Flotilla Flotsam

There is no "humanitarian crisis," as claimed by the flotilla's propaganda, given that approximately 100 aid trucks enter Gaza every day.

Whoops.

I think there are some people who would rather that we don't know that!

Most tellingly, flotilla passengers were seen on Al Jazeera last week chanting, "Khyber, Khyber," a favorite chant of jihadists because it recalls a battle where Muhammad's army is said to have killed large numbers of Jews.

How about that...first I am hearing about that chant. I have serious doubts that others on humanitarian missions use this chant.

a lot where cheering at 9/11 too....they live for hate...

so is that why Israel is afraid and refusing an investigation ?

According to Reuters:

...Autopsy results showed that a 60-year-old man, Ibrahim Bilgen, was shot four times in the temple, chest, hip and back, the Guardian said.

A 19-year-old, named as Fulkan Dogan, who also has U.S. citizenship, was shot five times from less than 45 cm (18 inches) away, in the face, the back of the head, twice in the leg and once in the back, it said.

Two other men were shot four times. Five of those killed were shot either in the back of the head or in the back...

Israel said that the commandos were acting in self-defense. In a statement Saturday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continued to vilify the Gaza activists aboard the Turkish ship, calling them "Islamic extremists" and alleging they "waited for our troops on decks with axes and knives."

Much of Israel's claims about the events that lead up to the raid aboard the Mavi Marmara and the circumstances behind the deaths of the activists have been wholly discredited.
