Almost two months have passed since the June 10th attack on the Gaza Aid Flotilla. As a means of continuing to remember and honor those who died on that day, we have posted a video of the memorial the Network of Spiritual Progressives held during the 2010 conference in Washington D.C.. See the video here:
The Western NGO`s on that flotilla might want to ask themselves why they were allied with a Turkish charity allied POSSIBLY with Islamic fascists. See the Wikipedia article about that Turkish group, whose name escapes me. If there was indeed alliance with Islamic fascists, Israel had possibly some reason to intervene in some way. Perhaps not how they did it, but in some way.

The Turkish charity who sponsored the flotilla has been banned in Germany due to its ties to Hamas.
It was ONE BIG set up.
I attended a talk yesterday by a very brave woman, a true woman of peace, who was on one of the flotilla vessels. It took great discipline for the passengers to remain non-violent as Israeli commandos raided and murdered while their ship sailed in international waters. It is beneath contempt to slander her and the brave people who accompanied her as terrorists. Admittedly their goal is to break the criminal sanctions imposed as collective punishment on 1.4 million people. Thanks to her and her fellow peace activists, the world increasingly realizes just what barbarities the Israelis are imposing on Palestinians.
Frank,
Plain and simple, she is lying to you. The so called passenger are not above contempt. They know the script. It is not criminal to enforce a blockade of an internationally recognized terror group that is holding 1.4 million Gazans hostage. I dare say that the “charity” who sponsored the flotilla has been outlawed in Germany for having ties with Hamas. That is a check mate on that “brave woman’s” claims. They may not be terrorists, but that are collaborating with terrorists. BTW, the wounded were compassionately treated in Israeli hospitals. Any other nation would have left the wounded on the ship. And just an aside, all the other ships were taken without incident. This ship obviously had a group with a alternative agenda.Think about it and get back to me.
