Something has happened at the BBC

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

In a landmark departure from normal practice, the BBC has produced and aired a documentary on Turkey’s action on board the Mavi Marara earlier this summer.

What is remarkable about this “Panorama” current-affairs programme is that the documentary, presented by Jane Corbin, gives an objective, neutral and factual presentation of views from both sides.

And the result is extremely disheartening – if you are an Islamist, terrorist and/or Turkish supremacist.

Among Ms Corbin’s most noteworthy comments: (1) that of the “aid” delivered by the terror-linked IHH organisation, more than two-thirds of the medicines were out of date and thus unsuitable for human use. (2) that the operation had nothing to do with delivering aid to a Gaza Strip that according to Ms Corbin did not lack in food or other essentials but was instead a straightforward political action. (3) that the hard core of 40 terrorists on board – including a US citizen who is a former marine – were well-prepared with offensive weapons.

The BBC documentary also makes clear that the Mavi Marmara had been hijacked by the hard core of IHH terrorist operatives aided by their US and other foreign mercenaries. The BBC provides documentary evidence of the hijacking in the form of testimony from crewmembers.

Hijacking – piracy on the high seas – is a criminal offence. The UN is currently diverting massive public funding away from Muslim flood victims in Pakistan to instead underwrite a probe into the Jewish state’s response to the IHH’s criminal act, but is refusing to probe either the IHH for its piracy or the Turkish government for its aggression in sending warships to escort the pirates on the first leg of their voyage.

These may be issues that the BBC might examine in subsequent documentaries.

Watch the Panorama programme in the following two clips:

Part 1:

Part 2:

Now ask yourself which of the 40 or so IHH terrorists on board shot and killed the nine dead Islamists using firearms taken from the Israeli soldiers who were attacked while trying to execute a legitimate police action at sea. The Israeli officers testify to shooting at the legs of their attackers, as per training and practice, but three officers had their guns stolen while they were being beaten, stabbed and shot by the Islamists. Interestingly, the willingness of the IHH participants to go down in history as “shahids” – martyrs for the Islamist cause – has been documented by the BBC and other media. Put two and two together and you’ll get nine.

Nine dead Islamists who were despatched by their compatriots in the ultimate on-screen media hoax.

Now THAT’s a probe the UN will most certainly not be spending money pursuing. 

Dealing with terrorists on the open sea, scenario 2

Once again there has been a police action in international waters.

Once again it has resulted in fatalities.

Once again a ship has been boarded by naval officers. The ship was manned by suspected terrorists and pirates, but this time the naval police force did not steer the ship to port for a thorough check and processing of the suspects, as Israel recently did with the pirated Mavi Marmara and another five vessels.

This time the ship was boarded, innocent people were set free, and the suspected pirates and terrorists were left on board their vessel.

After which the naval force blew up the ship, with all its cargo and the suspected Islamic pirates and terrorists on board.

This time, however, international condemnation of this police action is non-existent, there are no demands for a boycott, relations with Europe, the USA and the Islamic world have not been affected in any way whatsoever and the international media have ignored the event.

The armed Islamic terrorists and pirates received no sympathy, understanding or diplomatic and political – let alone financial – support.

Of course, this police action at sea was not undertaken by Israel.

Boarding of the vessel in international waters, the arrest of the suspected terrorists and pirates and their summary execution by blowing them up on board their ship was undertaken by Russia.

Silence in the media. Total silence in the UN. Absolute silence in the Islamic world.

One thing is for sure. No more Russian ships are going to be attacked by terrorists or pirates in the name of Islamism.

The standards by which Israel’s and Russia’s police actions are judged are startlingly different.

Dealing with terrorists on the open sea, scenario 1

Here for the first time is a detailed, definitive account of the Turkish Islamist terrorists’ actions on the high seas after they commandeered the Mavi Marmara.

Taking over a vessel on the high seas is known as piracy. These pirates intended to sail their vessel and the accompanying flotilla of five ships to the Hamas terrorist regime in Gaza, thereby opening up a cargo route for the free transport of missiles and other armaments to Gaza. Gaza’s Hamas government has already fired more than 10,000 missiles on hapless Israeli civilians over a period of eight years.

Here is part two of the filmed documentation:

That was what happened when a police force boarded the vessels on the open seas. At least one of the vessels was manned by armed Islamist terrorists who had taken over the ship against the captain’s wishes. This makes them guilty of the crime of piracy.

End result: 9 terrorists killed as they tried to murder the naval officers and several officers seriously injured as they attempted to stop the terrorists, arrest the pirates and check the cargo for contraband.

International condemnation of Israel’s police action has been widespread, resulting in demands to boycott the Jewish state and threats of publicly funded legal action against Israel. Israel’s relations with Europe, the USA and the Islamist republic of Turkey have suffered a setback and to this day, the international media continue to give immense – and negative – coverage to Israel’s attempts to prevent the smuggling of another 10,000 missiles to the Hamas regime in Gaza.

The armed terrorists have received widespread sympathy, understanding and both diplomatic and political – as well as financial – support.

That’s the way things can be when a democracy like Israel tries to shield itself against an extremist Islamist regime that is determined to secure unobstructed transport routes for the import of more missiles to fire on civilians.
