    5 June 2010 par (Open-Publishing)

    Six of the nine activists killed in Monday’s raid on an aid convoy were shot by a single Israeli commando who is now being considered for a medal of valour.
    Israeli reports of the likely award for the soldier — credited with saving his injured comrades as passengers attacked them with clubs, knives and even the guns they had captured from the commandos — are expected to inflame the row with Turkey over the attack on the flotilla.
    Mustafa Akyol, a prominent political writer, described the (…)

    From Klinghoffer to the Gaza Flotilla
    by Yvonne Ridley (Friday, June 4, 2010)
    "...according to international law, the actions of the Israeli military were beyond the law and those involved should be treated no differently than, say, the Somali pirates who are also in the habit of boarding ships by force....Any rights to self defense in such dramatic circumstances rests purely with the passengers and crew on board.

  • IDF Commandos Shot American Peace Activist Furkan Dogan 4 Times in Head Killing Him
    4 June 2010 par (Open-Publishing)

    This is an important development as the details of the IDF’s assault on the Gaza Peace Flotilla emerge from individual eye witnesses emerge. One particularly galling detail was Israel’s long delay in releasing the names of the peace activists who were killed. One reason for the delay was probably the U.S. nationality of one of the IDF commandos’ victims, 19 year old Furkan Dogan.

    4 June 2010 par (Open-Publishing)

    The Gaza flotilla organisers lost contact with the Gaza-bound MV Rachel Corrie today. Although the Free Gaza movement decided to pull the aid-laden cargo ship into a port to add more high profile people and journalists, the organisers said they couldn’t communicate the decision to those aboard the vessel. “The situation is we lost contact with the boat. We assume this was sabotage by the Israelis, “ said Audrey Bomse of the Free Gaza Movement.

  • Israeli Butchery at Sea
    1 June 2010 par (Open-Publishing)

    As I write this piece the scale of the Israeli lethal slaughter at sea is yet to be clear. However we already know that at around 4am Gaza time, hundreds of IDF commandos stormed the Gaza Freedom international humanitarian fleet. We learn from the Arab press that at least 16 peace activists have been murdered and more than 50 were injured. Once again it is devastatingly obvious that Israel is not trying to hide its true nature: an inhuman murderous collective fuelled by a psychosis and (…)
