Patently false.

Everything following this complete fabrication, is now suspect.
This is based solely on anecdotal testimony and not supported by video and forensic documentation.




EXACTLY! :)

They want us to believe that the IDF started firing from the helicopters, then landed with paintball guns and volunteered themselves to get stabbed.

lol

What a joke the UN has become.

That's where critical thought comes in. But without objectivity, you can't have critical thought.

Which is why the usual suspects are so easily duped.

The Israeli's are nothing more than Jewish immigrants, they came into Palestine and set up homes and many Palestinians were displaced as a result.

Pain is on both sides - is it not?

It's a little imbalanced ...

Thanx for clearing up the assumption that you don't know the history of the area at all.

You obviously don't.

If you consider people who sold their homes as being "displaced" by the buyers, then yeah, that's absolutely true.

Northern Ontario,
You obviously know something the committee doesn't because here is the timeline:
At 4.32 a.m., Israeli forces launched the attack without prior warning when
several speedboats drew alongside the Mavi Marmara and IDF personnel commenced an
attempt to board the vessel.63 The speedboats were shortly followed by combat
helicopters. IDF personnel began firing on the Mavi Marmara from both the speedboats
and helicopters before boarding had commenced.64 This included the use of live fire
(including automatic and semi-automatic weapon fire) as well as stun and smoke
grenades, paintball guns and rubber bullets.65 Two passengers were killed by shots from
the helicopters before the first soldiers had boarded the vessel.66
Quote:
34. As a consequence nine passengers were killed. Turkish autopsy reports
concluded that five of the deceased were shot in the head at close range.72 The Turkish
Commission describes those killed as follows:
- Furkan Doğan received five gunshot wounds in the back of his head, nose, left leg, left ankle
and in the back, all from close range. A citizen of the United States, Mr. Doğan was a 19-
year-old high school student with ambitions of becoming a medical doctor. Mr. Doğan’s
motionless, wounded body was kicked and shot upon, execution-style by two Israeli soldiers
.

This precedes what was quoted...
29. The Turkish Commission’s account of the interception of the vessels, which it
describes as an “attack”, is as follows. In support of this account, Turkey has provided
the Panel with:
That quote from EAO was from the Turkish report which of course is unbiased

Yes Jews purchased land - from who - The rich Arabs that held the ownership - Now the Jews that were forced from Arab lands after 48 - 67 - well they had to leave with nothing. Guess that balances out fairly in your mind?

I have no problem with Tamils legally coming to Canada, but then again, I'm not pro Israeli. I'm pro fact.

Palestinian refugees are still refugees because they are unable to exercise their basic human right to return to their homes of origin. Israel refuses to allow the refugees to return to villages, towns and cities inside Israel due to the ethnic, national and religious origin of the refugees. Israel defines itself as a Jewish state and not a state of all its citizens. This self-definition emphasizes the need for a permanent Jewish majority, Jewish control of key resources like land, and the link between Israel and the Jewish diaspora. Jewish citizens, residents and the Jewish diaspora are therefore granted special preferences to citizenship and land ownership.
