Israeli Navy - the real story - May 31st 2010

May 31, 2010 — Early this morning, IDF Naval Forces boarded six ships attempting to break the maritime closure of the Gaza Strip. This happened after numerous warnings from Israel and the Israeli Navy that were issued prior to the action. The Israel Navy requested the ships to redirect toward Ashdod where they would be able to unload their aid supplies which would then be transferred over land after undergoing security inspections.

During the boarding of the ships, the demonstrators onboard attacked the IDF Naval personnel with live fire and light weaponry including knives and clubs. Additionally one of the weapons used was grabbed from an IDF soldier. The demonstrators had clearly prepared their weapons in advance for this specific purpose.

As a result of this life-threatening and violent activity, naval forces employed riot dispersal means, including live fire.

According to initial reports, these events resulted in over ten deaths among the demonstrators and numerous injured, in addition, more than four naval personnel were injured, some from gunfire and some from various other weapons. Two of the soldiers are moderately wounded and the remainder sustained light injuries. All of the injured, Israelis and foreigners are currently being evacuated by helicopter to hospitals in Israel.

Reports from IDF forces on the scene are that it seems as if part of the participants onboard the ships were planning to lynch the forces.
The interception of the flotilla followed numerous warnings given to the organizers of the flotilla before leaving their ports as well as while sailing towards the Gaza Strip. In these warnings, it was made clear to the organizers that they could dock in the Ashdod sea port and unload the equipment they are carrying in order to deliver it to the Gaza Strip in an orderly manner, following the appropriate security checks. Upon expressing their unwillingness to cooperate and arrive at the port, it was decided to board the ships and lead them to Ashdod.

IDF naval personnel encountered severe violence, including use of weaponry prepared in advance in order to attack and to harm them. The forces operated in adherence with operational commands and took all necessary actions in order to avoid violence, but to no avail.

@FrenchPropagandaV1RR I applaud your family for fighting back. It is truly something to be proud of. However Im not sure of your point. R u trying to say that the ottomans ruled over the jews? R u saying the ottomans ruled jewish territories and now bc of that the jews hate the turks even though we saved 150, 000 of them from spain?

@namishrean let me tell you one thing .

In France, we was occupied by the nazi , and thus under control of these barbaric invaders during the time1940-1944 . Many Frenchs were resistants ( my own family included ) and saved Jews .........

But now, a lot of Israelis, a lot of zionists and some Jews hate the Frenchs because of the nazi occupation, and trust me, in their elites circles, the retaliation against France and the French is a planed reality .

this video is a crock of shit. Its funny how Israel produced edited versions of video's, took away camera's etc from the peace activists. I wonder what they want to hide.Israel murdered those turks and we will never forget. We saved 150, 000 jews from the spanish, encouraged jewish migration to palestine inthe early 1800's and this is how they repay us. Israel is the most powerful country in the world, but they fucked us and we will never forget. U may have stopped a boat, but u sunk an ally.

If a police officer shows up at your doorstep with a legal warrant

to search your house, you may want to protect yourself

with a pole, but it is not that smart.

International waters does not give ANY protection against search

during a blockade. As soon as it can be established that the

ship is planning to break the blockade, the search can take

place - UNLESS the ship is in the territorial waters of a neutral nation.

Read the San Remo agreement, instead of blabbering without knowledge.

You guys need to open a Koran and read it for yourself. It is loaded with anti-semitism and anti-christian racism. It a religion founded out of hate. Read the history behind Islam. It has a long history of gynocide. Stop believing everything Muslims and the media tell you and educate yourselves. Islam has all ways been the largest propaganda machine in the world.

[yn94]

may i ask something? who is taking this video? the zionis right? of course they want to blame the activis, i know its wrong for the activis to attack the soldier, but think yourself, who doesn't want to protect themselves? for sure, if you were there to in the ship, you also will be afraid and beat them, but for sure, you didn't have a gun to shoot them, you just can used a pole to defend yourself, and one more thing, they attack not at their territory, so they are just like the pirates.

@princessevenly Yes it is edited princeevenly. Israelis put out a video (conveniently) within hours after the murders. Infact, what they didn't show in this video is how they killed people first from air, before they came on board. That is why the activists were defending themselves. Thereare alot of testimonies of the passengers on YT.
