Flotilla buzz

|
I'm not going to post the many videos of the attempted lynch and kidnapping here.  But here's tape of the warning the Israeli navy gave to the Mavi Marmara and the putative blockade busters' reply ("Negative. Negative.  Our destination is Gaza.")

Solomonia has extensive coverage with embedded video, especially here, as does Jameel, who has been live blogging the coverage most of the day.

And here's video from Al-Jazeera, posted by Palestinian Media Watch that definitively gives the lie to the peaceful intentions of the flotilla.



The blatant lies of ISM co-founder Huwaida Arraf (dutifully repeated by the MSM) notwithstanding.

Speaking by satellite phone early Sunday from the Challenger 1 boat, which has foreign legislators and other high-profile figures on board, a Free Gaza Movement leader, Huwaida Arraf, said: "We communicated to them clearly that we are unarmed civilians. We asked them not to use violence."

Earlier Sunday, Ms. Arraf said the boats would keep trying to move forward "until they either disable our boats or jump on board."

Someone missed the memo.
