Unedited Radio Transmission Between Gaza Flotilla and Israeli Navy

This video includes the uncut tape of the radio exchange between the IDF and the Gaza flotilla on May 31st.

We have also posted a shorter video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OFAUeZE2ww That video includes radio remarks from the flotilla, which contradict the media image of Mavi Marmara passengers as just folksy peaceniks, "standing there with our backpacks and jeans."(Flotilla spokesperson Greta Berlin, interviewed on France24)

Below are the IDF's comments on this video:

"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).

In the early hours of the May 31st 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 pre-planned attack, the activists on board attempted to lynch the soldiers with knives, metal rods and stole two of their guns. As a result 7 soldiers were injured and 9 demonstrators were killed. For more information please go to: http://www.idfspokesperson.com
