Israelis are holding nine Americans kidnapped in international waters. Why hasn't Obama called for their return?

"Separately, Jonathan Slevin, a spokesman for the activist group Free Palestine Movement, said a group of five Americans participated in the flotilla, including former U.S. Ambassador Edward Peck."

It will be interesting to see if anything more comes out about this:

Quote:

Turkish sources and media revealed a document which shows that a death list had been prepared in advance by the Israelis, showing names and pictures of people on board of the ships to be murdered, who, according to Israel, were “involved in the International humanitarian aid for Gaza”. According to the Turkish sources, hundreds of Israeli soldiers stormed the blue Turkish ship “Marmara” flotilla and they had copies of the death list. The list included the names of civilians on the fleet who should be killed”. The document was apparently recovered after one of the Israeli soldiers lost it during the piracy act.

Wow. I saw that on Turkish tv but because all the dialogue was in Turkish and no subtitles I wasn't sure what it was.
The writing on the wall, so to speak.

Also interesting and from the same source above:

Quote:Regarding the complicity of other foreign states in this crime, it has transcended that the Germans Parliamentarians who were on-board, Annette Groth, Inge Höger and Norman Paech, had repeatedly asked the German Foreign Ministry for support and protection, but were rebuffed and instead they were warned to get off the flotilla because of unspecified “dangers”. The strange attitude of Cyprus, which neither allowed the ships to enter port, nor allowed a delegation of Parliamentarians to board the ships, can in retrospect only be explained with the prior knowledge and complicity in the crime if the Cypriot regime.

This horrible action by the IDF [not their first] is MUCH bigger than at first sight! One of the Americans is the former Ambassador!.....hit lists!.....killing unarmed and unprovoked peace demonstrators!....and on and on.....but, sadly, the PTB in the USA have given Israel a 'get-out-jail/trouble-free-card' and will block any UN sanctions or other actions. Only, IMO, the Isreali People [fo which there are many good ones who DO NO like what has been going on now a long tme!] can act to change things...as in the USA....only we can change things!. Dare to change things, as the good Israeli's should do the same!

'Next time we'll use more force'

Navy prepares for expected arrival of 2 more activist ships.

Israel will use more aggressive force in the future to prevent ships from breaking the sea blockade on the Gaza Strip, a top Navy commander told The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday.

"We boarded the ship and were attacked as if it was a war," the officer said. "That will mean that we will have to come prepared in the future as if it was a war."

The anonymous comment came the day after the Israeli Navy raided a flotilla of international aid ships headed to the Strip. Nine activists were killed in the raid, and dozens were injured.

The flotilla which arrived late Sunday night was comprised of six ships, and another two ships, including The Rachel Corrie, were expected to attempt to enter Israeli waters in the coming days.

Greta Berlin of the Free Gaza Movement said earlier Tuesday that a cargo boat was already on the way to challenge Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip.

A second boat carrying about three dozen passengers was expected to join the first, she added.

Nuke 'em....and stop pissing around!......Peaceniks and pro-Palestinian Aide and Freedom Advocates deserve nothing less than death!....Nice move Israel; you've long been beyond the pale of decency...now well beyond that!......:argh: At least, I think now all but the American idiotocracy can see this!

Egypt opens Gaza border after Israel ship clash 01 Jun 2010 Egypt will open its border with the Gaza Strip to let Palestinians cross, officials said on Tuesday, following a storm of international criticism of Israel's bloody enforcement at sea of its blockade on the enclave. The decision, urged by the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas against whom the embargo has been directed, prompted dozens of people to race to the crossing point in the southern Gaza Strip town of Rafah, although the gates remained closed.


Red Cross visits wounded activists 01 Jun 2010 Representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross for Israel and Gaza went on Tuesday to hospitals where foreign civilians from countries without diplomatic relations with Israel who were injured in the Mavi Marmara ship conflict attack were being treated. They were also given access to detention centers where those who were not wounded were being held.


Gaza flotilla - Eye witness accounts of Israeli raid


'They came up and used plastic bullets, we had beatings, we had electric shocks, any method we can think of, they used.' Gaza flotilla - Eye witness accounts of Israeli raid 01 Jun 2010 Passengers aboard the Gaza-bound aid flotilla have been describing the drama of the moment that Israeli forces raided their ships. Speaking on their return to Germany, Greece and Turkey on Tuesday, the activists said that commandos had administered electric shocks and beaten passengers during the assault.


Israel raid on Flotilla like 9/11: Turkey 01 Jun 2010 Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu draws a parallel between an Israeli attack against a Gaza-bound aid convoy and the September 11 terrorist attacks on the US. "Psychologically this attack is like 9/11 for Turkey," said Davutoglu, who is in Washington for talks with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The minister also expressed Turkey's dissatisfaction with the US stance after Washington only regretted "the loss of life" aboard the Freedom Flotilla aid convoy.

US veteran on board 'Liberty' was flotilla passenger

Man who served on ship bombed by Israel during 1967 war is missing in aftermath of flotilla clashes News agencies Published: 06.01.10, 09:13 / Israel News

A US Navy veteran who was on board the USS Liberty, which Israel attacked during the Six Day War, is now missing after taking part in the conflict-ridden flotilla, US news agencies reported Tuesday.
Sixty-three year-old Joe Miduras, of the Texas town of Corpus Christi, has not yet made contact with his wife, Jean. She has so far remained unconcerned, however, saying she didn't think he had been hurt.
Miduras was a soldier on board the USS Liberty, which came under fire by Israeli warplanes and torpedoes on the fourth day of the 1967 war. As a result, 34 crew members were killed. "We have no luck with Israelis," his wife joked.
One other American man, a former diplomat, was also on board the flotilla. Eighty-one year-old Edward Peck, of Maryland, was the US ambassador to Mauritania and also served in the State Department during the Reagan presidency.
He is currently on his way home. His wife says she received an email from the Foreign Ministry saying Peck was in good condition, and estimated that he would be home on Tuesday.
On board the Marmara were also two Australian journalists, Paul McGeough and photographer Kate Geraghty. Editor of the Sydney Morning Herald, Alan Oakley, said the two had been taken to Ela Prison in Beersheba.
He said he had had no contact with the two since Monday's incidents. Oakley added that the Irish and Australian embassies in Israel would take care of the two, who are also Irish citizens.
The Immigration Authority said Tuesday that there had been 679 passengers from 40 different countries on board the boats, most of them Turkish and Greek. The youngest passenger was a two-year old child. Nine were killed and more than 40 injured during the clashes, seven of them IDF soldiers.
