Nine people died on board the Turkish vessel Mavi Marmara. Their death was planned by the other Islamists on board – it was all part of the drama designed to create headlines damaging to Israel and to support the Islamist terror organisation Hamas. It’s a depressingly familiar scenario in the Arab and Muslim worlds – the priority is cheap stagecraft rather than the sanctity of human life.
Information received suggests that about 40 or 50 of the Islamist “peace activists” had neither passports nor any other ID on them.
However what these “peace activists” did have was ceramic body armour (which is the type used by the military), they were wearing gas masks, some were equipped with night-vision goggles and they were armed with knives, clubs and axes. Upon their arrest most were also found to be carrying envelopes stuffed with several thousand dollars. The Israeli authorities suspect that they are all al Qaeda mercenaries.
But it all started well before anyone was arrested. Here is footage of how the Islamists attacked the Israeli servicemen while they were still in their own vessel, before any Israeli had set foot on the Turkish vessel. The attackers used steel chains, iron rods and a stun grenade to attack the soldiers.
Two of the “peace activists” were arrested with hot (that is to say recently used) pistols in their hands, but the magazines were empty. Depending on how many rounds each magazine took, this would indicate that between about 18 and 24 bullets were fired by the Islamists.
This may well explain why as many as nine people died – in true Islamist style they were “sacrificed” by their own compatriots so as to create exciting images on TV and in order to vilify Israel as the perpetrator in the ensuing propaganda feeding-frenzy.
As per standard practice the Israeli soldiers shot at their attackers’ legs – and then only after they had been shot at, stabbed and clubbed with axes and iron rods and been fired upon with powerful slingshots. The fatalities, however, show bullet wounds in the stomach, chest and other vital body parts. The discrepancy is remarkable.
A subsequent investigation will undoubtedly bring more clarity to this situation.
But no such investigation is really needed – because the “victims’” families are already confirming that they boarded the vessel with the intention of dying on camera to create headlines. Martyrdom Turkeywood style.
It was all planned from start to finish.
So the Islamist attackers were equipped and armed for war even before they set sail. Swedish left-wing author Henning Mankell and extremist fanatic Dror Feiler, however, continue to maintain that there was “not even a nailfile” on board the ship.
For more evidence, here is the racist war-cry about “slaughtering the Jews” that the Islamists were singing even as their ship departed from Cyprus. See the filmed evidence below.
