Apparently they realized that might not seem like sufficient justification for shooting 70 (?) people, so now their line is that the solidarity activists had come armed and shot at the Israelis! >I have just finished watching the BBC World service coverage and I am about >to sit thru the coverage from Australia's SBS. Euronews played some footage (apparently from Turkish television) actually taken during the shooting (you could hear the gunfire) and also showing some of the dead or dying activists lying on the ground and being attended to by onboard medics. (But they also gave equal time to the Israeli foreign minister putting the incident "into perspective"). In about 6 hours we have a protest at the Israeli embassy in the Hague (along with their embassies everywhere, I would imagine). >We should see the Israeli actions for what >they are- the brutal and desperate acts of people who have long abandoned >the ground of decency and morality, basically because there is no such thing >as decent colonialism and colonialism is is what the Zionist enterprise has >always been about.
