IHH Flotilla to Israeli Navy: "Go back to Auschwitz!" "Don't forget 9/11, guys"

We posted this video from the IDF yesterday. There were some errors in the IDF text describing the video, which the IDF has now clarified, below. The IDF has posted a second video, with the uncut tape of communications with the flotilla, including the remarks in this shorter video. The uncut tape is viewable at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGtEoCX1GRo

For Emperor's Clothes' challenging analysis of the flotilla affair, read "Mavi Marmara: A World Reichstag Fire," at http://tenc.net/marmara.htm

Below is the IDF clarification:

"Yesterday evening on 4 June 2010, the IDF released an audio recording of a radio transmission between the Israeli Navy vessel and the Flotilla ships wherein unidentified flotilla passengers tell the Israeli Navy vessel to "shut up, go back to Auschwitz" and "we're helping Arabs go against the US, don't forget 9/11." There have been questions regarding the authenticity of the recording as well as its attribution to a communication with the Mavi Marmara.

"So to clarify: the audio was edited down to cut out periods of silence over the radio as well as incomprehensible comments so as to make it easier for people to listen to the exchange. We have now uploaded the entire segment of 5 minutes and 58 seconds in which the exchange took place and the comments were made.

"This transmission had originally cited the Mavi Marmara ship as being the source of these remarks, however, due to an open channel, the specific ship or ships in the "Freedom Flotilla" responding to the Israeli Navy could not be identified. During radio transmissions between Israeli Navy and the ships of the "Free Gaza" Flotilla on 31 May 2010, the Israeli Navy ship attempts to make contact with the 'Defne Y' on channel 1-6. Other ships from the flotilla respond on the channel, without identifying themselves. At some point during the radio exchange the Israeli Navy is told by one of the ships to "shut up, go back to Auschwitz" (2:05) and "don't forget 9-11″ (5:42)."

Turkey should be ashamed by sending this kind of people as "peace" lovers into Gaza strip

[theemperorsclothes]

@BraveIDF Keep in mind that Prime Minister Erdogan represents a minority of Turks. There is a long standing division in Turkey, and the IHH is NOT supported by most Turks.  Case in point: in Germany, which has an immense Turkish working class population, the pro-flotilla demonstrations were minute. (E.g., a few hundred in Berlin, where entire neighborhoods are Turkish.) Knowledgeable Turks (more than in most populations!) associate the flotilla with the Turkish fascist right.

SencereIy, I think it's a turning point in the realationship between Israel and the world. I think that for once the world will choose not put up with a militaristic provocation, meant to blacken the face of the Israeli army, the most moral of armies. I also think, that for the first time Israel has a chance to spotlight the dreadful "peace seekers" who roam away from their hypocrite countries (such as Turkey, who has commit terrible crimes with the Armenian people).

@000mayberain000 where's the connection?

The message of Ardogan to Israel : Go Back to Auschwitz

[000mayberain000]

@10wnyuu Yes, I'm from Israel.

The soldiers had no choice but to take control of the flotilla. It's something the world needs to understand- they could have been transfering

weapons into Gaza, weapons who are later used to harm innocent civilians.

They were offered transfer of aid after inspection but refused again and again.

The soldiers had no wish for conflict but were attacked by the so called peace activists who also had connections to terrorist groups.

Source: Wikipedia: Western intelligence agencies say that IHH (member of the Islamist Union of Good) is an Islamist organization, close to Hamas, al-Qaida and Taliban. The Telegraph described it as "radical Islamist group in the guise of a humanitarian organization." There were weapons, explosives, instructions on bomb-making and 'ne Jihad flag ensured at IHH quarters. According Nilufer Narli, Middle East expert at Bahçeşehir University in Istanbul, IHH finance Hamas.
