In case you weren't aware, the passengers of the flotilla that Israel attacked, allegedly full of "al-Qaeda" types, included a Nobel Peace Prize recipient, 2 German politicians, 17 members of parliment from Ireland, Bulgaria and Sweden, and an 85 year old holocaust survivor.

I'm reposting this for your benefit, in case any of you haven't seen the video I'm about to talk about:
If you want the truth, via the larger context, than watch the following:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pn-l_JltCB4
The IDF started shooting and killing long before they boarded.
Watch what happened before they boarded, and you'll understand why the passengers reacted the way they did.
Keep in mind- this was a live satellite feed.
They're talking about the injuries and deaths on camera, and you can clearly hear the gun shots coming from the IDF, long before they come down via helicopter at 5:50.
There's a wounded guy being carried right at the opening of the video, blood at 0:03, gun shots at 0:10. And keep in mind- even Israel says these passengers didn't have guns. It's the IDF firing those guns.
Seriously, it doesn't take a genius to put two and two together here, but it certainly takes a lot of willful ignorance to not see what's in front of your eyes and acknowledge it.

There was also at least one vet from the USS Liberty, which Israel attacked a few decades ago.

Holocaust Survivor Shot By Israeli Gunman

I think Israel was just trying to make friends. The world is sending them mixed messages. They attacked the shit out of the USS Liberty and the American federal government trips over itself to suck their collective dick.

Wikipedia has their own inhouse hasbara editorial contingent. The Wikipedia is an outright lie: They say it was investigated and found to be an "accident". ISRAELI sources since then have confirmed that it was an intentional attack on an American ship. See the truth HERE.
I especially like the part where they machine gunned our wounded sailors in the liferafts.
Note that the Israelis had orders: No survivors (witnesses). They were fixing to drop helicopter commandos on Liberty and hunt our wounded guys down, compartment by compartment to murder them. The Jews intended to blame the sinking on the Arabs so that America would do Israel's dirty work. Sound familiar?

Those in power need to trick us 'lesser' beings into fighting eachother so we dont fight them

Truer words have not been spoken. If we weren't constantly feeling that our lives were threatened by (insert boogieman of the day), we might notice the guy draining our bank account from the big office.

Theres no money in it.

It would be a landmark in human progress if we simply started killing the right people for once.

At the bottom of this article is a list of all the passenger nationalities and the numbers of them.

You guys need to catch up with the rest of the world. The 85 year old holocaust survivor apparently wasn't aboard the flotilla and there are literally dozens of threads on this, so please stop posting and spamming the front page with the same information

Just goes to show you, anyone could be a terrorist.
Shit, I think I saw your grandma learning to fly a Cessna and buying fertilizer.

This needs to be on the front page, we can't let MSM ignore this.

Here's today's NYT editorial that talks about how "Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip in 2007".
You remember that, right? WHEN THEY WON THE ELECTION?
The MSM isn't ignoring anything. The MSM is in full defend-Israel mode. Even when doing so directly threatens the national security of the United States.
This is why it is important to remember that it is a very Jewish news media.

And they thought that a rogue state like Israel would be hesitant to attack such prominent people on a mission of mercy? Tsk, tsk, tsk.
2 purplepopo 2010-06-02
Not to contradict your post, but how can from that video that the IDF starting shooting before they boarded ? Do you speak the language it is in? It is very difficult to understand what is going on, and presumably the video wasn't started until after the IDF boarded.
Just saying...

While you may be right, this flotilla WAS looking to cause a scene. They had camera setups ready to go. They probably started filming well before they were boarded.

Can anyone find the names of the Irish TDs that were on the ship? I can't find the list anywhere.
3 kudoz 2010-06-02
That's because there weren't any.
1 halogen1212 2010-06-02
It says "17 members of parliment from Ireland, Bulgaria and Sweden" this must mean there is at least one member of the irish parliment (a TD).
4 kudoz 2010-06-02
Shane Dillon, Dr Fintan Lane and Fiachra Ó Luain are the only Irish people on the Flotilla, none of them are now or ever have been TDs.
Thanks for the downvote though, classy stuff.
2 halogen1212 2010-06-02
Didn't downvote you at all at all buddy. Thanks for the info though!
1 dano8801 2010-06-02
Except for the fact that this has been shown to be less than truthful...
