Sham UN Human Rights Council Accuses Israel of War Crimes For Raid on Gaza Flotilla Terrorist Ship
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, September 23, 2010, 4:49 AM
The sham UN Human Rights Council accused Israel of war crimes for its raid on the Gaza Flotilla terror ship.
The “peace activists” on the Gaza Flotilla threw stun grenades and beat Israeli Soldiers with chains.
Video taken by IDF naval boat shows the passengers of the Mavi Marmara, one of the ships in the ‘Free Gaza’ Flotilla, violently attacking IDF soldiers who were trying to board the ship after having sent repeated requests for the boat to change course.
Large groups of passengers surrounded soldiers and beat them with metal poles and chairs, and threw one soldier over the side of the ship. Some passengers grabbed pistols from the IDF soldiers and opened fire. As a result of the attacks, seven IDF soldiers were injured, and nine of the passengers were killed.
The ‘Free Gaza’ Flotilla had publicly insisted on their non-violent intentions, however their violent attack on the IDF soldiers was clearly premeditated. They had knives, metal rods, firebombs and other items ready to use.
But the anti-Semites at the UN predictably blame Israel.
RFE-RL reported:
Israel has rejected as “one-sided” and “biased” an investigation commissioned by the UN Human Rights Council, which concluded that Israel’s military broke international laws during a raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla.
Eight Turkish pro-Palestinian activists and one Turkish-American were killed and others injured after Israeli commandos boarded the six-ship convoy on May 31, as it tried to breach an Israeli naval blockade of the Gaza Strip.
Israel says its troops opened fire after coming under attack by activists wielding clubs, metal rods, and axes. The activists said they were defending their ship after it was attacked by Israeli soldiers in international waters.
The convoy’s passengers were detained and later deported by Israel.
There was widespread international criticism of the raid, which severely strained relations with Israel’s long-time Muslim ally Turkey and forced Israel to ease its blockade of Gaza.
‘Willful Killing, Torture’
In a 56-page report, the Human Rights Council’s fact-finding mission said the action by Israeli commandos was “disproportionate” and “betrayed an unacceptable level of brutality.”
The panel of three international lawyers said there was “clear evidence” to support prosecutions of a series of alleged crimes, including “willful killing” and “torture.”
It also said the Israeli blockade of Gaza was “unlawful” because of a humanitarian crisis in the Hamas-ruled territory.
The panel interviewed more than 100 witnesses in Britain, Jordan, Switzerland, and Turkey — but not in Israel.

“accuses” ???
Just additional that, at the UN, an accusation is a good as proof.

Thank God the Jews have nukes or they would be gone. In the end, Christians will stand beside jews to defeat the muzzies. At least this Christian will.
The UN is a home for the worlds rapist, theives and genocidal dictators. That building shoulds be disinfected and turned into condos.

Had this been an Iranian attack on a flotilla of aid for Iraq flying under a Spanish flag most of you would be ready to refight the Crusades. Or worse, nuke the holy city of Qom. Your bigotry slip is showing. This was an unwise action on the part of the Israeli government. Period.
Charlie Gibson commented:
Yeah, the flotilla was brilliant. Where else could you sail into a declared blockade and blame the Israelis for trying to protect its citizenry?
Crusades? You’re a joke!
Oh, yeah…period(that makes it unequivocal).
american patriot commented:
The only thing which Israel violated is common sense in not killing ALL of the activists on those boats. By not killing these activists it assures Israel that any activist left standing will be right back at it again when the next MSM-orchestrated opportunity arises. And “activist” is such a loaded term, soft-pedaling the true character of these people which is nothing short of murderers.
Israel, protect yourself!
Israel is just plain too decent in dealing with people who are indescribably indecent. As the old phrase goes, you don’t bring a knife to a gun fight.
DavidsonGirl commented:
I sincerely hope the new Congress will look at our involvement at the UN. We don’t need to be supporting this mess, much less be required to endure tyrants threatening war with us on our own soil. Time to get out.
tarpon commented:
Oh no, not the war crimes card.
John Fembup commented:
Diane, I think you will discover that the armies of Islam invaded Europe centuries before the Crusades. That is, if you choose to read up on Charles Martel or Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar (El Cid), among others. If you do so, you will discover when, how and where the muslim invasions of today’s France and Spain occurred. You will learn that King Ferdinand of Aragon was too busy to deal directly with Columbus because he was sorta busy at the time. The 700-odd years of muslim rule in Spain was essentially eliminated by Ferdinand at Granada in 1492.
Citing the Crusades in this context as you did does not show sensitivity, it simply flaunts your naivete.

Read #4, 5, 8…again.
“flotilla of aid”? Your lack of facts is amazing!
The Crusades were a reaction to muslim aggression and incursion. You’d be speaking arabic if it weren’t for them.
“holy city of Qom”? No. It is your bigotry slip that is showing. The city of Qom is a dunghill.
“This was an unwise action on the part of the Israeli government.” The only truthful statement. Israel should have sunk the ship and killed all the attackers without putting their men in danger. Period.
Andreas K. commented:
And our countries are still in the UN why exactly?

Apparently you haven’t seen the videos and photos. Period. But why actually get the facts when it’s so easy for a Nazi swine like you to scream “evil Jews!” Period.
By the way. Also get some education about the crusades. The crusades were the European answer to decades of mohammedan aggression. Eventually we Europeans had enough of their barbaric attacks on us and we struck back.
Nuke the holy city of Qom?
I’m all for it. Since a city can’t be holy, why not? The US should have done that after 9-11 right away. The simple lesson of: “You attack us, we strike back ten times as hard. Do it again and we’ll strike back again until you understand that we’re not going to surrender to your fascism.”
Oh and dear Diane…
I wish sharia law on your butt, you infidel whore who is worse than apes and dogs, who is like cattle and people like you should be killed whenever possible. No, those insults aren’t my invention. The koran says so. I’m just quoting it. Get a copy and read it.
