Armed with paintball guns, outnumbered, and badly beaten by the activists, the commandos finally received permission to protect themselves with handguns. Ten thugs were killed.
The flotilla was reportedly carrying humanitarian supplies to Gaza, so of course many world leaders and other assorted shrieking heads are having a tizzy fit. As far as I'm concerned, they can stick their tired rhetoric where the sun doesn't shine.
Haaretz has more.
UPDATE: Here's the video:
Thanks for posting this lady red. Please check your email.
ReplyDeleteCarl in Jerusalem has more video here and The Jerusalem Post has video of the official Israeli government statement.
ReplyDeleteI've updated the post with a video, courtesy of Fay. :x
ReplyDeleteThanks lady red.
ReplyDeleteHeadline at the J Post:
"Obama tells Netanyahu on phone: We need raid 'facts' ASAP"
And just what the hell does he think? That Israel is answerable to him?
In other "shocking" news, Ban Ki-moon today expressed his "shock" at the deadly raid on boats loaded with relief supplies headed for Gaza, ...
The thought of Obama sticking his nose into this makes me cringe. He has no sense of diplomacy whatsoever, and is no friend of Israel.
ReplyDeleteAs far as Ban Ki-moon goes; screw the UN. Why are the idiots calling an "emergency" session? Do they bother to convene when innocent Israeli citizens are killed? Hell no! But let a handful of Hamas-loving thugs eat a bullet and the idiots are falling all over themselves. Ptooey.
France can go jump in a lake, too. "Profoundly shocked" my ass. STFU already.
I am glad you found a better report than I did, Lady Red - the only place I saw it was MSNBC, which of course toed the anti-Israel left line.
ReplyDeleteMr. Obama: the raid facts are that you can go fuck yourself.
ReplyDeleteBravo Israel! They did the exact right thing. We would have done the same, BTW.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree with lady red - Obama, France and Turkey, etc. can just STFU.
Heh, Matt, I just read your sentiment. Spot on.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bad bad boy :(
