As Turkey Freezes Israel Ties, Critics Decry "Whitewashed" UN Report on Gaza Flotilla 2 of 2

Uploaded by democracynow on Sep 2, 2011
DemocracyNow.org - Turkey has downgraded diplomatic ties with Israel and frozen military co-operation ahead of a long-awaited United Nations report on Israel's deadly attack on a Gaza-bound aid ship in 2010. The report accuses Israel of "excessive and unreasonable" force in its attack on the ship, Mavi Marmara — which killed nine people — and says Israel should issue a statement of regret and compensate the families of the dead as well as wounded passengers. But it also chides passengers aboard the Marmara and the other flotilla ships for what it calls a "reckless" attempt to breach Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip. In a major development with broader implications, the U.N. report concludes that the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip is legal under international law.

Democracy Now! speaks with Norman Finkelstein, author of several books on the Israel Palestine conflict including, "This Time We Went Too Far: Truth & Consequences of the Gaza Invasion." We are also joined by Huwaida Arraf, one of the organizers of the Free Gaza Flotilla movement. Both Arraf and Finkelstein blast the U.N. report, calling it a "whitewash" and "morally debased."

@fenersevedien YES Food, Medicine, Wheel chairs, Concrete ETC.
You know what else was on the boat?? JEWS and even a HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR. (Hedy Epstein)
Is that enough to answer your "question"..
So answer mine do you BELIEVE that a ship checked + approved by the UN/NATO with a HOLOCAUST survivor on board would bring weapons etc. to Israel? Are you THIS fucking ignorant .. even ISRAEL said there where medicine etc. on board, they feared Hamas would build bunkers with the concrete!

***** Israel gouvernment is the new Nazi SS today *****
What happened to the Jews by the Nazis at that past time, they do the same today with the Arabs.
Gaza is one big ghetto, as it was during the Nazi times
***** Shame - and the whole world looks on. *****
Only Premier Erdogan and Turkey do not close their eyes.
