Copenhagen - Israel attacked a Gaza-bound aid flotilla, leaving up to 19 activists dead, only after receiving reports the fleet had links to al-Qaeda, the Israeli ambassador to Denmark claimed on Monday.
"Before the flotilla entered Israeli waters, rumour had it that the organisers (of the aid initiative) had links with the al-Qaeda terrorist network," Arthur Avnon was quoted as saying on the website of public broadcaster DR.
"The people on board were not so innocent ... and I can not imagine that another country would react any differently," the ambassador said before being summoned to the Danish foreign ministry to explain the attack.

Maybe the foreign press will actually do the job American journalists refuse to do...?

BRKING: Turkish For. Min. demands return of ships, bodies, passengers. Says a state acting as Israel did has lost its legitimacy.
The muslims love to talk smack. The Turks may also be implicated in weapon smuggling. They might have something to lose. Maybe.
The US President said on Thursday evening: “We are at war, we are at war against al-Qaeda.
“We will do whatever it takes to defeat them.”
Turkey or Israel, Turkey or Israel, that is the question.

Can anyone tell me what kind of ship that is, the Mavi Marmara?
Is that a yacht, a cruise ship, a ferry? Anyone know anything about it?
It’s a passenger ship built in 1994. Looks like Comoros registry. Fairly small about 300 feet long, about 60 feet in the beam.

Who paid for all this?
Israel needs to defend itself against any and all enemies.....but nothing will satisfy the Anti-Semites in the Islamic world, Europe, US Liberals, etc....
Knowing Israel’s intelligence capabilites....we will soon find out that this ship was totally up to no good
This article is from a French media source.
Interesting.
Turkey, France, and Germany are the first ones on record who have condemned this IDF/Jihad Flotilla incident.
I will always believe Israel’s side of these events. Israel has too much at stake to act irresponsibly. And I know that Israel has most of the world against it, and so events will be reported that way.

I’m seeing a LOT of europeans and leftists running around supporting the terrorists. They’d be the first to get their heads sawn off if they had a chance too.
Bill Ayers and Bernadine are involved with this.

Thanks for all those links...not sure when I will get to them,...
Wow, visiting a hundred extra links... what a concept. ;’) This wouldn’t happen (the existence of most of the links) if more used the search engines before posting. ;’)
