“Weaponry Overview and Footage of Mavi Marmara Passengers Preparing Weaponry”

Video Description - quote:

idfnadesk — June 03, 2010 — The opening footage of the video shows knives, rods, wrenches, gas masks, bulletproof vests, and binoculars found on the ship and gathered at the Port of Ashdod. IDF soldiers then reenact how rioters prepared weaponry by using electric saws to remove metal poles from the stairs and other parts of the ship in order to attack the soldiers. The closing seconds of the film come from actual footage found on the Marmara showing the demonstrators preparing the weaponry.

In the early hours of the 31st of May 2010, IDF soldiers boarded the ships of the “Free Gaza” Flotilla, after the ships refused to redirect their course. Aboard the Mavi Marmara the soldiers encountered serious violence when, in a preplanned attack, the activists on board lynched the soldiers with knives, metal rods and stole two of their guns. As a result 7 soldiers were injured and 9 activists were killed.

“Truth behind the harm-ada”

by Steven Emerson
New York Post

June 3, 2010

SNIPPET: “The “Free Gaza” flotilla was far more than a collection of innocent “peace activists” trying to provide humanitarian aid to Gaza. Most passengers may have been nonviolent — but a significant minority were anything but.

The passengers reportedly included 100-plus members of various Muslim Brotherhood chapters, at least 20 of whom taped al Qaeda-style “martyr” videos before embarking.

And the chief organizers clearly had more than “peaceful” intentions for the flotilla.”

“4 rockets hit south
No injuries in latest Qassam attacks; local mayor: We hope not to see escalation soon”

Shmulik Hadad
Published: 06.03.10, 23:27 / Israel News

SNIPPET: “Four Qassam rockets were fired from the Gaza Strip into Israel Thursday, causing no injuries.

One rocket was fired at Sderot Thursday evening prompting the Color Red alert to go off. The Qassam apparently exploded in an open area near the town.

Earlier in the evening, two rockets landed near the southern city of Ashkelon, while another rocket landed in the Ashkelon Beach region, near a kibbutz.

The two rockets near Ashkelon exploded around 9 pm in an open area south of the city. The anti-rocket alert was activated in facilities and factories in the city’s southern industrial zone, prompting employees to take cover.

Ashkelon Mayor Benny Vaknin said that security officials asked him to “maintain full alert ahead of the possible firing of Qassams and Grad missiles” after the Gaza-bound flotilla left on its way to the Strip.”

English Anti-Semitic Flotilla Nasheed: A Tribute to The Palestinian Humanitarian Activists Who were Martyred, Wounded, and Imprisoned at the Hands of the Zionist Pigs

Written & Sung by Asadullah Alshishani, whom Jawa Report knows very well. Will wait for nasheed to be downloaded then post....maybe. His last one was gawd awful, although it’s damn fun to make fun of this idiot.

Title of of his nasheed: “When the Jew’s Blood Reds my Knife, then my Life is Free from Strife”

Lyrics below fold:

When the Jew’s blood reds my knife
Then my life is free from strife

Hiding behind rocks and trees
I’ll find them with greatest ease
Make them get down on their knees
Slaughter them despite their pleas

Throw them in the ovens hot
Soap and lampshades sold and bought
Made of the Jews that we shot
Mercy’s something I have not

With the bomb and machinegun
Blast at them and watch them run
We will have a lot of fun
Shoot and kill Jews one by one

Rise up, O Salahuddin
Great and brave Mujahideen
Like the Sheikh Ahmed Yassin
For the Love of Filistine

At Al Aqsa we shall meet
After Israel’s defeat
Their dead bodies at our feet
Taste of victory is sweet

Jerusalem is calling me
Asadullah Alshishani
Jihad’s where you’re meant to be
Come and set the captives free

We had no choice, commando who killed 6 tells ‘Post’
By YAAKOV KATZ
06/04/2010 06:13

SNIPPET: “The 15th and last naval commando from Flotilla 13 (the Shayetet) to rappel down onto the ship from the helicopter, S. said on Thursday that he was immediately attacked by what the IDF has called “the mob of mercenaries” aboard the vessel, just like the soldiers who had boarded just before him.

Looking to his side, he saw three of his commanders lying wounded – one with a gunshot wound to the stomach and another with a gunshot wound to the knee. A third was lying unconscious; his skull was fractured by a devastating blow with a metal bar.

As the next in the chain of command, S., who has been in the Shayetet for three and a half years, immediately took charge.

He pushed the wounded soldiers up against the wall of the upper deck and created a perimeter of soldiers around them to begin treating their wounds, he said. He then arranged his men to form a second perimeter, and pulled out his 9 mm. Glock pistol to stave off the charging attackers and to protect his wounded comrades.

The attackers had already seized two pistols from the commandos, and fired repeatedly at them.”

“Flotilla Rioters Prepare Rods, Slingshots, Broken Bottles and Metal Objects to Attack IDF Soldiers”

Video Description - quote:

idfnadesk — June 02, 2010 — From the security cameras aboard the Mavi Marmara: the passengers of the Gaza flotilla are seen here preparing for confrontation with the IDF soldiers. The rioters put on gas masks and arm themselves with rods, slingshots, broken bottles, metal objects, and water hoses. As the IDF soldiers approach the ship the rioters immediately attack the forces by hurling these objects at them.

In the early hours of the 31st of May 2010, IDF soldiers boarded the ships of the “Free Gaza” Flotilla, after the ships refused to redirect their course. Aboard the Mavi Marmara the soldiers encountered serious violence when, in a preplanned attack, the activists on board lynched the soldiers with knives, metal rods and stole two of their guns.

“Media ignoring Israel’s reasons for blockade”
Chad Groening - OneNewsNow - 6/4/2010 4:00:00 AM

SNIPPET: “A conservative media watchdog says that in the coverage of the recent Israeli raid on a flotilla carrying pro-Palestinian “activists,” the major networks have ignored Israel’s valid reasons for blockading Palestinian terrorist groups.

Dan Gainor, vice president for business and culture at the Culture and Media Institute (CMI) of the Media Research Center, does not think the public should expect the mainstream media in America to report the Israeli raid story fairly. He notes that the media has already failed to report on why Israel is blockading access to Gaza in the first place.

“Israel made an agreement with the Palestinians to withdraw from Gaza. Part of the agreement was they get to still control the sea and air lanes to prevent people from bringing in guns...ammunition...bombs and missiles that they were constantly bringing in, and Israel stopped them repeatedly from doing this,” Gainor explains. “Since Israel withdrew, Gaza elected Hamas, which is an internationally recognized terrorist group.””

Mash’al In Iran: ‘Our Battle Is Your Battle’; ‘Together We Will Liberate Jerusalem’; Iran Will Help Rebuild Gaza; French Leaders ‘Collaborators’ In Zionists’ Gaza Massacres

In a speech at the Iranian Majlis, Hamas leader Khaled Mash’al said that Hamas will not stop smuggling weapons, because doing so would be against the armed struggle.

He told Iranian MPs: “Our battle is your battle... Your support for the resistance in Palestine is support for yourselves.

He called on Europe to adjust its policy vis-à-vis Hamas, and to influence the U.S. to do likewise.

He said that Hamas aspires to liberate Jerusalem and all Palestine, and to realize the right of return.

Majlis speaker Ali Larijani said that Hamas was bringing honor to Islam with its struggle against Zionism.

“Reactions in Iran to Gaza Flotilla – ‘Kayhan’: Ayatollah Khomeini’s Logical, Humane, and Completely Practical Plan – To Remove the ‘Cancerous Tumor’ Israel, That Is, Eradicating It – Must Be Implemented”

SNIPPET: “Iran’s leaders have stated that the Gaza flotilla events are a sign of Israel’s end. They called on the Muslims of the world to act against the “cancerous tumor” Israel, and warned Israel’s supporters worldwide to distance themselves from it lest they be harmed as well. The daily Kayhan, the regime mouthpiece, called on the Turks to avenge the blood of their comrades who were killed, and announced that Israelis are not safe anywhere in the world.

Following are the main reactions:”
