6-Time Killer Israeli “Hero” Commando Inadvertantly Exposes Israeli Lies
From Haaretz. 4th of June
Quote:
The soldiers reported that the activists had fired on them during the confrontation and that at least two commandos suffered gunshot wounds. After the incident, 9mm bullet casings were found – a kind not used by the naval commandos.

And this is from The Times on the same day in an interview with “Staff Sergeant S” the Israeli mass murderer.
Quote:
Taking charge, he formed his men in a perimeter around the wounded, pulled his 9mm Glock pistol and opened fire on passengers he accused of shooting at the boarding party with guns taken off the first soldiers, who had been overwhelmed as they landed one by one.

YET MORE ISRAELI LIES AND DECEPTION
This is supposedly communications between the IDF and the Mavi Marmara and was released by Israel and titled
“Radio Transmission from Mavi Marmara to Israeli Navy”
Fortunately for Israel the content seems to be quite damning. “”Shut up, go back to Auschwitz.” and “We’re helping Arabs go against the US, don’t forget 9/11 guy”. Comments like that to the uncritical and ignorant US citizen ends with Americans continuing to sponsor mass murder.
Wow convenient…
Only problem is though it seems like the recording is a fake.
Here is an earlier video released of communications between the Mavi Marmara and the Israeli army. The response
“Negative, Negative, our destination is Gaza.”
Notice it is an ACTUAL moving video of the same two guys and not a still and notice the complete lack of anti-semitism.
There is one more Guatemalan sized hole in their official story.
The woman’s voice in the first recording which according the Israeli army came from the Mavi Marmara is the voice of Huwaida Arraf, who was never actually on the Mavi Marmara, she was on another ship of the flotilla – Challenger 1.

For voice comparisons and an account of what happened to her on THE CHALLENGER. Here she is interviewed by RT
Update 1
IDF admits doctoring audio transmission
http://idfspokesperson.com/2010/06/0…n-5-june-2010/
However, they are stil lying
| According to our Captain of Challenger 1, Denis Healey, a man with 25 years of experience on the sea, there would be no way that anyone could communicate with each other without the entire fleet hearing the exchange. “There was no exchange like this by anyone on any boat during the entire time I was piloting the boat,” said Denis. Huwaida Arraf, the woman you hear on the radio, concurred. “The open channel is always the open channel, and everyone knows who is on the radio.” All radio transmissions on the sea are heard by all captains. Once again, Israel is caught in a lie trying to defned itself for the murder and mayhem it committed the morning of May 31, 2010. |

More Israeli Lies
Israel in attempt to show the world how wonderful it is to live trapped under an illegal occupation released this video to journalists of a Gazan restaurant.
They slipped up again though
The footage shows PLO Chairman Mahmud Abbas as one of its diners. Abbas hasn’t been to Gaza since the siege on Gaza began.
YET MORE LIES

This was one of the picture released by the IDF on their Flickr account and was published in the normally reliable Haaretz website 05-06-10
It is run with the caption
| An activist on board the Gaza flotilla holding a knife after Israel Navy commandos boarded their ship on May 31, 2010. Photo by: Provided by IDF Spokesperson’s Office |
“AFTER THE ATTACK” ? Look out the window, see how bright it is? The attack happened between 4 and 5 am in pitch black darkness.
This is insane. People gathered round clapping hands, smiling and laughing “after” 9 of their crew have just been killed??? Obviously the knife wielding guy is non-threatening, nobody is even looking at him or in any way threatened by him. They are more concerned at whatever is happening to the left of the photographer. Maybe it is the Arab crocodile dundee whipping out his even bigger knife?
And who took the photo???
Heavily armed IDF commandos desperately fighting for their lives against chairs? Who took the time to get a souvenir???
Update 1
A cropped version then appeared in an article by Caroline Glick on the site of neocon US based think-tank the Center for Security Policy where Glick is senior fellow for Middle Eastern Affairs.

To make the guy more threatening and to remove the evidence of daylight they had to remove the whole background; but that meant removing the actual knife.
Actually……..Looking closer at them side-by-side the originial
The cropped picture (without the extra people ) shows the guy with the checked shirts folded hands and terrorist knifemans breast pocket, with what looks to be a pen.
Caroline Glick also found the time to produce and appear in the sickengly racist “Flotilla Choirs” “We con the world” which was” accidentally” released by the Isreali government.
According to Israeli spokesman Mark Regev
sraeli government spokesman Mark Regev dismissed the the video link, saying, “The GPO sends out lots of articles. It doesn’t mean they like it.”Regev said he first noticed the video on the New York Times website.
“I called my kids in to watch it because I thought it was funny,” he said. “It is what Israelis feel. But the government has nothing to do with it. The GPO distributes non-government items, things that we think that show our side of the story.”
Update 2
Nailed Again: IDF Description of Suspicious Photo It Distributed Is Retracted
Update 3
It turns out that Mohammad al-Hazmi and he is a Yemini MP and was a passenger on the Mavi Marmara.
His knife is a Yemini ceremonial dagger and he was innocently showing it off to journalists on the ship.

This is what al-Hazmi actually spent his time on the Mavi Marmara
| “We spent our time in reading Quran or reciting hymns, we were like one family, even the Bishop (Archbishop Hilarion Capucci) who was with us. It was a life time journey,” |

The Bishop reinforces his statement
| “Our trip to Gaza was a trip of love and God was with us. Israel by its actions had rightly drawn world outrage over its brutality against unarmed people carrying a message of love to an innocent occupied people under siege,” |
The Proof. From the Yemen Times April 24th 2010:
His name is Mohammad al-Hazmi and he is a Yemini lawmaker and was a passenger on the Mavi Marmara.
His knife is a Yemini ceremonial dagger and he was showing it off to journalists on the ship.
