aboard the mavi marmara

in case you haven’t seen it yet — footage taken by freedom flotilla organizers on board the ship that was attacked in international waters by IDF commandos last weekend. this needs to circulate as widely as possible, as it plainly contradicts the official israeli claim that the killings were carried out in self defense. the video clearly shows wounded passengers and audible gunshots after the white flag has been raised and before the soldiers land on the deck.

american TV audiences so far have only seen the israeli military video clip that shows the soldiers being wailed on with sticks as they rappel onto the ship. however, as the above video shows, by this point in the chronology at least two people on the ship are already dead and there are live bullets whizzing through the air. puts the stick-whacking in a somewhat different light, to say the least.

    Won’t be seeing this video in the U.S. media, will we?

  • doubtful. since it’s aired on al jazeera, it’s now tainted as ‘the al jazeera tape,’ hence presumptively pro-jihadi.
