footage from the freedom fortilla - Israeli forces continue to fire after death of civilian and white flag is raised

LA times reports 10,000 demonstrating in Turkey after the Israeli attack on the freedom fortilla which resulted in the death of at least 19 peace activists.

Turkey has withdrawn its ambassador to Israel, there are demonstrations also in Jordan and the Israeli ambassadors in Sweden, Spain, Denmark and Greece were summoned for meetings, and the French foreign minister called for an investigation.
There has also been a strong condemnation from the United Nations and the European Union.

Greece has suspended a military exercise with Israel, and the Arab League called an emergency meeting.

The United Nations expressed "shock" and condemned the killings.

"We are in contact with the Israeli authorities to express our deep concern and to seek a full explanation," said a statement from the highest-ranking U.N. official in the region, Robert Serry.

if both ibrows an tomeisner2 had bothered to watch Al-Jazeera they will have seen the news as it was reported from their side!
As the Israeli commando's descended on ropes from the helipcopters they were attacked - the Al Jazeera video clearly show this, the soldiers were attacked with live rounds,knives and clubs, they therefore had NO alternative but to return fire. In the ensuing chaos yes, some of the 600 or so, Hamas supporters and activists have been killed, 19 killed and 6 Israeli soldiers injured.
Earlier in the week Israel had offered the organisation that they could off-load the cargo in Ashdod, and Egypt had also offered the same, that the cargo could be off-loaded in El-Arish.
But NO, this was NOT a humanitarian exercise as 100 trucks per day with 15,000 tons of aid go into Gaza daily from Israel, it was a politically motivated PR stunt organised by the Turkish IHH with various other trendy-lefty, Guardianesque groups who support Hamas attempting to "run the blockade".
They were warned NOT to do this and by attacking the Israeli soldiers have only brought this chaos on themselves.
So, ibrows and tomeisner2 you really must crawl back under your stones and go away, your self-hating anti-semitism is NOT wanted on the Jewish Chronicle web site.

Gaza flotilla humanitarian activists attack IDF soldiers

Gaza flotilla humanitarian activists attack IDF soldiers
- having, of course, proved their impeccable humanitarian credentials by refusing to take a package from Gilad Shalit's father to his son.

The Israeli forces illegally board the fortilla ships IN INTERNATIONAL WATERS and have the nerve to complain when peace activists defend themselves from attack.

Israel is working its hardest with the propaganda machine - but its difficult to defend the indefensible - THE ATTACK AND KILLING OF CIVILIAN PEACE ACTIVISTS IN INTERNATIONAL WATERS BY ISRAELI FORCES
