WHAT REALLY HAPPENED ON PEACE FLOTILLA - ACTIVISTS RETURNED TO TURKEY

from the speeh of Bulent Yildirim, the head of a Turkish charity that organised the flotilla:


'' at first we were at 80 miles from any israeli waters, thus international water. the israeli submarine, 5 battle ships and helicopters and drones were all around the ships. they at first did nothing but escort us, we thought that they were just trying to intimidate as they are in int waters they cant do anything. We were going to deliver aid to palestine via egypts waters not that of israels, yet their attack was illegal but anyway, in the morning as you know muslims pray, right at that moment the israelis started to storm the ship, at first we tried to lock arms and prevent them passing into decks but the israelis, threw tear gas and noise bomb as seen via videos. Israeli say we did not use weapon at first, but arent those bombs waepons?? the shrapnel of these hit and wounded people, as well as the plastic bullets at close range kills, and did. amidst this, the activists picked up poles and chairs etc and started to fight back, as not only is it illegal to storm a ship without right in int waters but if the idf was peaceful they would not have shot people and used tear gas and noise bombs on people if they were just trying to stop

''a re­porter who was only tak­ing pho­tos was shot in the head and killed... two ac­tivists were shot in the head and killed after they sur­ren­dered... many ac­tivists were shot and thrown to the sea and these are gone miss­ing.... two is­raeli sol­diers taken by the civil­ians and after they were treat­ed nice­ly by ac­tivists for their small injuries...​then the doc­tor who went to de­liv­ered in­jured is­raeli sol­dier, he was car­ry­ing no weapons and he was shot 5 times in the stom­ach... the ac­tivists were tor­tured after they were taken in cus­tody.... and is­raeli forces start­ed fire be­fore they board the ship.... is­raeli sol­diers shot peo­ple who sur­ren­dered.. every gun had 2 plas­tic bul­lets, the 3rd and lat­ter bul­lets were all real.. they start­ed killing ac­tivists be­fore they board­ed on the ship, they car­ried the in­jured by chop­pers one by one, though they could have car­ried all at once... is­raeli doc­tors treat­ed the in­jured with­out anaes­the­sia..'' A jour­nal­ist from Dogan News Agen­cy in Turkey that was on the Gaza flotil­la: "Is­raelis con­fis­cat­ed all jour­nal­ists' footages. So, I don't know what hap­pened to them right now"

"Activists had seized guns but threw them overboard. "We told our friends on board: 'We will die, become martyrs, but never let us be sh...own... as the ones who used guns'."

"we will never give up ,we will go with new aid flotillas, than goverment should think what will they do!"
