Raw Video from Israeli Raid on Turkish Flotilla
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | May 31, 2010 | Brian

Here is raw video in two parts from the Israeli Raid on a Turkish Flotilla of ships taking aid to the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

I believe this video is from Al-Jazeera, so understand that the reporter on board the ship is trying to cast the flotilla in the best possible light. But there is a lot of raw video here from during the raid, and a good deal of it with no commentary, or with commentary in a language other than English.

Well, its a blockade by definition, because it is Enforced.

Sounds like planned stupidity in the name of hate. Would that our Arizona “Blockade” was enforced now, before they get the idea that our borders are NOT borders.

It also looks like civillians being used as protection dummies to hide behind. Guaranteed assault with guaranteed results.

Agreed. Israel was acting in their own self-defense. They had warned the flotilla it would not be allowed to pass.

So what would Turkey do if Israel decided to send supplies to the Kurds?

Seems like switchblades, metal balls (for IED’s no doubt) metal baseball bats were the first things found. I’m sure that the Israeli offer to unload at one of their ports for inspection and then transfer to Gaza will be lost in all reports.

“what would Turkey do if Israel decided to send supplies to the Kurds?”

Excellent suggestion.

Thanks for putting this into perspective. Even with my second cup of java I did not think of that.

I believe one of the ships was named for some left-wing dingbat protester who laid down in front of a bulldozer and got squashed. Seems to be Karma, for in effect, these agitators “laid down” in front of the Israeli bulldozer.
