Ynet News (Israel) is publishing pictures that appeared in the Turkish newspaper, Hurriyet, which gleefully showed IDF soldiers under attack on board the Mavi Marmara. The headline reads; "Commando Tears". You can view the pictures at the below link.

These photos, taken by the "humanitarians" on board the the ship, exhibit the lies that Norman Finkelstein told about these events in his debate with David Pollack that was on this blog a couple of days ago. Now that everyone can see what was happening to these soldiers before they finally took over the ship you can see that people like Finkelstein assume and then assert as true all the worst intentions and actions of Israel. I'm glad the photos point out what a liar he is.
ReplyDeleteI also find it remarkable that they restrained from using live ammunition until they were in such a dire situation. It isn't easy to hold back well armed soldiers when they are being beaten and taken captive.
