The Attack on the Terrorist Flotilla

Don't bend the truth. TOO many people were watching this on livestream this morning. Those IDF individuals were in the wrong the entire time. Sorry, hundreds of thousands were witness to it.

Ok, my apologies.

I'm a little worked up over this whole situation I will admit.

So the success of the rest of the Flotilla is a great thing, although do you think that all of those materials will make it?

Who will confirm it did? How will be able to see whether or not it did reach Gaza?

The whole blockade thing is a horrible practice to begin with. Nobody can say that Gaza is not an open air prison. It most clearly is.

It's amazing that such hardship comes from a problem where the solution is clear and evident.

here we go

The thing is THIS SPECIFIC BOAT had a terrorist leader on it, HOPING AND PRAYING for the IDF to try and take the boat so he can show some "occupying scum" a piece of his mind.

he had them rallied up on this boat that was almost exclusive for Turks. He brought soldiers.
Look what was found aboard the Marmara: idfspokesperson.files.wordpress.com...

The other boats did not have these, they genuinely did not come to kill but rather to help, and their aid is en route to Gaza as promised.

In the news the commandos recall:
(I'm translating from www.ynet.co.il)
"when a man feels that his ass is being kicked, in mortal danger, he must react somehow, and the croud just kept coming from the hallway".

another soldier recalls:
"we just started pointing guns at peoples legs and firing, they broke the paintball guns we were armed with, whoever got shot just calmed down, we didn't have any reason to kill any of them, are mission is only to stop the ship"

I'm not talking about the whole 6 boats just the one that had to bring violence with it..

Oh please, all of you who are wetting their bed over this, get a grip. The vessels weren't under attack . If the IDF had wanted to attack them there wouldn't be one afloat. The IDF was performing an interdiction mission. None of you know what could have been on those vessels. The operation was no different than Egypt trying to interdict the tunneling efforts.

"they broke the paintball guns we were armed with"

Im sorry but in no way whatsoever would Israel arm their IDF with paintball guns , especially with intel apparently knowing what was on board. Is this confirmed are they really expecting us to believe this?

Wow that's a large collection of.....knives. pfffft.
So where did the IDF find them? in the galley perhaps?
Maybe they should go look.
The secrets out, chefs and cooks beware.
Let me ask you one question.
Did the IDF find any GUNS?????.

G'd Bless you NoamC.

I salute you and your friendship for Israel.

It's good to see at least the OP has some sense of justice. If only Obama would offer some kind of military or finacial help to our greatest ally in their time of need.

Face facts people. A FLEET OF TERRORIST WARSHIPS attacks Israel. Brave young IDF servicemen are BRUTALLY attacked by Al Quaida Islamofascists... and surprise surprise, the WHOLE WORLD blames Israel for trying to defend itself!

I would of really unloaded on those "Humanitarian Aid" ships like we did on the USS Liberty, they didn't come back in a hurry!

"we just started pointing guns at peoples legs and firing, they broke the paintball guns we were armed with, whoever got shot just calmed down, we didn't have any reason to kill any of them, are mission is only to stop the ship"

Do they think people are so stupid as to beleive this crap about using paintball guns.

Ask the dead they will tell you.

That white power coming out the cluster bombs we saw last year was scotch mist i supose and a year later we are still waiting for a beleivable answer from the UN.

Forget sanctions on Gazza we need sanctions on iserail long before any sanctions are considered for Iran and we need to get them nukes back.

Yes, but these are knives of mass destruction.


Israel can say what they want , film what they want ...

But they cannot have what they want.

The world is on to them.

Shame on you.
May your words follow you around like a bad smell.
Are you some psycho-killer or what?
Or just acting as an agent provocateur?

reply to post by Compulsionist


Yeah, knives of mass destruction.
And your right, the world is on to them.
Trouble is the US supports them at the UN security council.
Not to mention the fact that US media is owned by Zionists.
What happens next is down to the US.
And right now i think they will do whatever Goldman-Sachs tells them to.
This act of stupidity might just split the world.
How to win friends and influence people.

What were the Khazar pirates ("IDF soldiers") doing on the flippant boat? Do you treat people who intrude your private properly with hospitality? I am going to ask my Jewish friend to rob your house. If you call the police me and him will you call you an anti-Semite and ask the police to arrest you for being a terrorist.

Dear Cosmic4Life, you really aren't seeing the whole picture here.
This boat did not come to aid Gaza, it came so it could PROVOKE Israel to an extent of a hostile resistance when boarding their ship.

These:

Really don't help the Gaza people much. These tools were not on board the other ships.

YES, the Israeli's were armed with paintball guns and a pistol, not an assault rifle.
and YES it's proven:


I wouldn't lie, this is a PR catastrophe but Israel's sovereign is UNTOUCHABLE.

If only Obama would offer some kind of military or finacial help to our greatest ally in their time of need

But isn't America one of the biggest benefactors of Israel?

What more do they want?

reply to post by Cosmic4life


If Israel dealt with these Terror Ships the same way they dealt with the USS Liberty it would prevent further attacks on peaceful Jews. Israel faces a constant murderous barrage of Quassam ballistic missiles from Gaza. Armadas of terrorist warships from Turkey & the rogue, nuclear armed Iranians threatening to "Wipe all Jews off the face of The Earth". It seems that Israel has NO right to self defence in the eyes of the world.

I blame Obama. Why does he spit in the face of Americas greatest ally and most loyal friend, Israel? Why can't the USA provide some more military or financial aid in this hour of desperate need? George Bush would NEVER have allowed this to happen.

America is betraying Israel.

I admire your courage trying to present all sides to this story on ATS where anti-Israeli opinion conspires to suppress any information, no matter how valid, other than that which reenforces their agenda.

I have to take issue with this quote. There might be few people who actually have an "anti-Israeli agenda" but by and large the community here at ATS doe not. I have found that most people here are simply open to all the evidence and in this case it looks like the IDF were the aggressors.
If people here have agendas they work both ways.
I reject your statement because I believe that the ATS membership as a whole is fair, rational, and tries very hard to be impartial. Believe it or not we're interested in both sides of the story.

Pretty obvious your trolling.

Go back to your regular account and post were people may know you please.

Woah! Thank God the IDF prevented all those dangerous weapons from getting into Palestinian hands. Sticks, pipes, knives, bottles(?!) probably enough to start an intifada somewhere.
C'mon, not ONE FIREARM or explosive device. Your average home has more weapons than this, and deadlier ones too.

Whoops! I forgot to mention slingshots. Something a 5 year old can go out and buy here in America.

Everybody was KUNG FU Fighting!!!!!!!!!
