Activist describes 'horrific' Israeli interception

Indeed Sarah Colbourne is not a terrorist.

But she is the Campaigns Director of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, which openly supports Hamas.

Her account of the Israeli takeover of the ship must therefore be discounted, much as the BBC must have salivated over it.

Summary of interview:

"Audio/Video evidence is all photoshopped. I was there guys. You can trust my testimony despite my support for International Terrorism and my engaging in illegal activities."

One thing I don't understand, and maybe you experts can explain is how it was that if according to the Israelis the Turks were armed to the teeth with firearms how it was that the soldiers weren't killed. Is it just that only Israelis can shoot straight, better training and experience perhaps, quite curious really....?

"She really looks like a terrorist don't you think?"

What does a terrorist look like? See many in your line of work, do you? Here's a photograph of Kim Hyon Hui. She was responsible for the deaths of 115 people on Korean Air Flight 858:

Yeah, she really looks like a terrorist.

And here's another mass-murderer. He killed thousands of people in Germany. He really looks like a terrorist.

Why weren't you on the ship?

eisner, do you condemn the antisemitic terror group Hamas, which advocates the exterminationof the Jews? If so, how can you defend such people who associate with and indeed support them?

Furthermore, the Israeli soldiers suffered gunshot and stab wounds. This is verifiable information. How did that happen - with wooden batons?

Time you heard a good robust sermon, Mr Eisner, to inject you with some yiddishkayt:
Here's one by Rabbi Marvin Hier before 2,600 people at Beth Tzedek Congregation, Toronto, 31 May, in the presence of Eli Wiesel, Salman Rushdie and Former Canadian Prime Minister, Brian Mulroney:
"... 65 years after Auschwitz, there is still an Ahmadinejad, who denies the Shoah, who calls for the destruction of Israel, who seeks nuclear weapons and even gets to spew his hatred from the podium of the United Nations. And now we hear from the UN investigators themselves that they have enough low-enriched uranium to make two nuclear bombs. Perhaps the rest of the world can afford to wait him out, but Israel cannot; she is on the front lines and remembers very well the terrible price Jews paid for not taking Hitler at his word. Israel cannot afford to sacrifice another 6 million Jews on the altar of the world’s indifference. These are difficult times for Israel. There is always a flotilla willing to help the terrorist organization Hamas. But, my friends, have you ever seen an international flotilla on its way to Gaza to demand the freedom of Gilad Shalit, who has not been visited by single relative or friend in four years of captivity? No one cares about him, but help Hamas in Gaza, the whole world is available. Over the last six months, in the media and on campuses, Israel has been the brunt of a relentless campaign of vilification, distorting history and blaming her for every mishap in the Middle East conflict. Most people are not historians or Middle East experts, and are easily influenced by such repeated lies and distortions. ...Today, Palestinian leaders, including Saeb Erekat, continue to insist that the Temple of Solomon was never built in Jerusalem. All of us pray every day that a viable two-state solution will be found, and one day, Jews and Arabs will live in peace. But let me be very clear, you know when that day will come? When the Arab world finally decides to bury the hatchet and stop playing games when it understands that, just as the State of Israel is willing to recognize all Arab states as they wish to be recognized, be it a secular state or a Muslim state, so the Arab world will have to stand up and recognize one small democratic State called Israel, as the homeland of the Jewish people. When they are ready to do that, we won’t have to go through the dance of proximity talks. On that very day, the lights will go on for a breakthrough in the Mid-East peace process."

When are you going to ask your "humanitarian" cohorts to take a letter and package to Gilad Shalit from his sorrowing father, as the "humanitarians" aboard the flotilla refused to do? Huh?

Yvetta
with comments like this:-
"Today, Palestinian leaders, including Saeb Erekat, continue to insist that the Temple of Solomon was never built in Jerusalem".
I do not think a 2 State solution is the answer as the Palestinians/Arabs cannot accept reality.
A 2 State solution will allow arms to pour into Gaza from Iran and into Judea and Samaria/aka The West Bank, from Iran and Syria.
Israel will then have 2 more fronts to defend.
My solution is to go back a little into history:-
1.Let Egypt have control of Gaza.
2.Let Jordan have control of Judea & Samaria/aka The West Bank.
Israel can then reinforce and secure the borders and the Arabs can then help the Arabs.
Let the Arabs supply the electricity to the Arabs
Let the Arabs supply the water to the Arabs
Let the Arabs supply sewage treatment to the Arabs
Let the Arabs supply aid and supplies to the Arabs
All the money Israel hasd been spending to help the Arabs up to now can go back into Israels own economy.

Sarah Colbournes was made to flounder when interviewed on Radio 4's Today, she struggled to give any sort of answer when questioned about the video evidence of the Israeli soldiers being attacked by "the mob".
Any independent listener would have thought that she had no credibility at all.

JustJournalism has transcribed Colbourne's Today interview. Sarah Montague the journalist repeatedly tried to find out from Colborne, who had started the violence and what she had actually seen.

Colborne revealingly avoided the journalist’s question about whether or not the passengers attacked the soldiers and implies that she did not actually see Israeli commandos open fire:

Sarah Montague: Are you saying that Israeli soldiers who boarded that ship opened fire and there was no provocation for it?

Sarah Colborne: That’s what I am saying, yes.

SM: You saw that. You saw them fire when there was no attack on them.

SC: I saw them, well, I saw them, what I saw was them coming down from a helicopter onto the roof, I saw them trying to board the boat via dinghies.

SM: Were they attacked by those on board?

SC: They – the people on board, as you can see, were trying to stop…

SM: Hitting them with metal bars.

SC: Well, we need to see the entire footage. I believe to give a perspective on what was happening. They were shooting, they were shooting civilians, they were using gas bombs on the ship. The truth is we were in international waters, Israel committed a piracy offence.

Sarah Montague also challenged Colborne’s contention she had ‘heard no warnings whatsoever’ that the Israelis were going to raid the ship, saying, ‘How can you not have known or how can those on board the ship… because we know from what the Israeli side is saying that there were plenty of warnings?

The BBC journalist finally broached the subject of the professed desire for martyrdom on the part of some of the participants who had died:

‘Let me, let me put something to you. The Turkish newspapers yesterday quoted family members of two of the dead men as saying that they had wanted to be martyrs.’

Sarah Colborne, once again, flatly denied being aware of any such aspirations of her co-travellers:

‘Well, I – I have no idea. I didn’t speak to anyone who wanted to be a martyr.’

The fact is that IDF only opened fire on Mavi Marmara, proving without a doubt that they did not attempt to fire before they boarded.
Tom Eisner's lunacies have no place out of pathological studies by professional.
