Exclusive video and photos from outside the Turkish Embassy in Tel Aviv show a growing crowd of protesters upset over the Turkish government's decision to provoke Israel through its participation in the so-called "aid flotilla" off Israeli coast.
Above: Turks living in Tel Aviv join in a protest outside the Turkish Embassy in Tel Aviv, protesting the Turkish government's decision to provoke Israel through its involvement in the so-called "aid flotilla" allegedly bringing aid to the people of the Gaza Strip. Below is exclusive video of the protest which began late this afternoon in Israel and continued into the night. See also: Protest Outside Turkish Embassy in Tel Aviv.
TWO NEW PHOTOS:
First of all, this “humanitarian” flotilla was, at best, a cynical PR stunt. There is no food shortage in Gaza. Israel maintains an open corridor for the transfer of food to Gaza, and this route is used daily by legitimate relief organizations including the United Nations and the Red Cross. Over the last 18 months, well over a million tons of humanitarian supplies have entered Gaza from Israel. This equals almost a ton of aid for every man, woman and child in Gaza.
Secondly, the Israelis offered the flotilla a peaceful way to resolve the conflict. They proposed that the ships dock at Israel’s southern port of Ashdod and unload their cargo there. The Israelis pledged to transfer all truly humanitarian cargo to Gaza. They simply wanted to screen the cargo first so that they could ensure that no arms or explosives were hidden among the food and other legitimate items. This offer was flatly rejected.
Only then — when faced with the declared intention of these ships to break Israel’s security blockade of Gaza – did Israel decide to board the ships and bring them to Ashdod by force. To do otherwise would have been to allow Israel’s opponents to dictate Israel’s security policy. The Gaza strip is controlled by Hamas, a terrorist organization openly committed to Israel’s destruction. As the constant smuggling of arms and rockets into Gaza – and their repeated use by Hamas — makes clear, Israel has every right and reason to screen shipments going into Gaza.
So long as the Israeli soldiers who boarded these boats were met by peaceful protests, no one was hurt. Of the six ships in the flotilla, Israeli naval forces boarded five of them without incident. Only on one ship – the Marmara — did Israeli soldiers harm passengers. Why did they do so? As videos taken by Israel’s navy since made clear, the Israelis boarding this particular ship met with instant and vicious violence. As the Israeli soldiers were lowered one-by-one onto the ship by helicopter, they were assaulted by an angry mob that beat them with metal rods and knives, threw them off the sides of the deck, and reportedly stole their handguns and shot at them. What awaited the Israelis was a lynch mob, pure and simple. Only after the mob began using deadly force did the Israelis respond with deadly force to save their lives.
Good for them!

Watch the innocent humanitarians pummel the Israelis as they board one by one.
Pipes and knives were used and two IDF were hurt fairly seriously.
These terror supporting goons put Capone and the boys to shame.
humanitarian flotilla my ass.
Should have killed every single one of them.

Oh, I agree. I’m not advocating genocide, I am perfectly happy to allow the Palestinians to move back to their home country of Jordan. However, if they decide to stay and cause problems - no mercy. If foreigners attempt to enter Israel using false pretences like today - no mercy. If they attack Israel like Iran is always threatening to do - no mercy. In those cases it should be warfare in the way that G-d prescribed - kill everything that lives.
Thank you for that post. Very well said!
The sign about Ataturk should hit home. I hope that the Turkish military is paying attention.
Thanks much for the ping! I wish the MSM would talk about this honestly.
I’m going to quote a section of the Old Testament... A warning to the people in government and the media, and those who would rise against Israel in violence. Most especially for those within the flotilla who deceitfully claimed to bring aid, when they truly brought hatred and violence instead...
Isaiah 5:18-30
18 Woe to those who draw sin along with cords of deceit,
and wickedness as with cart ropes,
19 to those who say, “Let God hurry,
let him hasten his work
so we may see it.
Let it approach,
let the plan of the Holy One of Israel come,
so we may know it.”
20 Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
and clever in their own sight.
22 Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine
and champions at mixing drinks,
23 who acquit the guilty for a bribe,
but deny justice to the innocent.
24 Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw
and as dry grass sinks down in the flames,
so their roots will decay
and their flowers blow away like dust;
for they have rejected the law of the LORD Almighty
and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Therefore the LORD’s anger burns against his people;
his hand is raised and he strikes them down.
The mountains shake,
and the dead bodies are like refuse in the streets.
Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away,
his hand is still upraised.
26 He lifts up a banner for the distant nations,
he whistles for those at the ends of the earth.
Here they come,
swiftly and speedily!
27 Not one of them grows tired or stumbles,
not one slumbers or sleeps;
not a belt is loosened at the waist,
not a sandal thong is broken.
28 Their arrows are sharp,
all their bows are strung;
their horses’ hoofs seem like flint,
their chariot wheels like a whirlwind.
29 Their roar is like that of the lion,
they roar like young lions;
they growl as they seize their prey
and carry it off with no one to rescue.
30 In that day they will roar over it
like the roaring of the sea.
And if one looks at the land,
he will see darkness and distress;
even the light will be darkened by the clouds.
What kind of Demonstration is that? Certainly nothing like what the "other side" manages for mere cartoons.
The world against tiny Israel is a world heading for very serious problems this summer.
Anyone who would like to Pray For Israel, We have a Daily Thread on FR!
Today we see the Biblical origins of the emnity between the Jews and the Arabs.
We also read this:
12. And he (Ishmael) will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
The Hebrew “dwell in the presence” literally means “In the FACE of his Brethren”,
as in the expression “IN YOUR FACE”.
Oh yeah. There are people that say that the Bible is just an old book that was just meant for THAT Culture and THAT time, long ago and far away.
Right.
Let me know if you would like a Daily Ping to this Garden of Prayer.
My mistake; I was not referring to the video of the Turkish protesters as a Pallywood production, but rather the videos alleging to show Israeli troopers massacring civilians.
Thanks for letting me know. Please do add me to your ping list for the Pray for Israel thread.
Agreed that all the scriptures are for ‘every age’, not just the time it was written — God is everlasting, which means his truths as revealed within scripture are everlasting as well. Human nature has not changed, and so the lessons are just as applicable today, and the warnings are just as applicable today as well...
I have put you on the “Ping List” so you will get tomorrow’s Thread.
