Yesterday at the United Nations, Ms. Lee presented the footage for the first time to the international press corps after the following statement: "I want first to thank the United Nations Correspondents Association for organizing this event on such short notice. "My name is Iara Lee. I am a dual U.S.-Brazilian citizen of Korean descent. I am a filmmaker and a human rights activist. "I decided to join the Freedom Flotilla after going to Gaza a few months ago and seeing first hand the devastation there. After hearing the pleas of the people living in Gaza to have the blockade lifted, I felt I must do something. "The Gaza Freedom Flotilla was on a humanitarian mission.Ê We expected to be deterred from delivering our aid to Gazans, but we did not expect to be attacked. "We started filming from the moment we boarded the Mavi Marmara right through the Israeli assault on the ship. Although all of our equipment was confiscated, we managed to smuggle this footage out. "Mine is high-definition footage of the Flotilla attack and also the only sustained footage of the ship and its passengers preceding the deadly Israeli commando raid. Watching this raw, unedited footage, you will get a sense of the mood on the ship and of the passengers on it. "Undoubtedly, many of you will be scrutinizing it for clues to resolve the mysteries that still surround what happened that fateful night. "During this past week the Israeli government has repeatedly alleged that these passengers -- or some of them -- laid a trap for Israel, duped the Israeli military, and plotted a lynching. Israel has repeatedly alleged that we were anti-Semitic Muslim fanatics connected to terrorist organizations. "In fact, the passengers on our mission came from many countries and religious and ethnic backgrounds.Ê Our one common denominator was that we wanted to end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza by highlighting the injustice of Israel's blockade. "Prime Minister Netanyahu said, "This wasn't the 'love boat,' this was a flotilla of terror supporters." Our footage will help you decide whether we were a love boat or a hate boat. You will see secular and devout passengers. You will see people at prayer and people working at their laptops. "Was this a lynch-mob moved by hatred of Israelis or was it a cross-section of humanity moved by the plight of Gaza? Did we lay a trap for the Israeli commandos or did they unnecessarily attack us? Did we take them by surprise or did they take us by surprise? "Do you see a premeditated ambush, or do you see some passengers using items at hand to protect themselves from an unprovoked assault by heavily armed commandos? "You decide."Finally released.

The bloodshed could have been avoided if they had just gone to the nominated port. Not suggesting they brought this upon themselves but there was a more diplomatic option that was available.

The f Isreal is a pretty bad comment. Better to F the muslims They're the ones committing suicide for the virgins. Maybe they would appreciate a little. Too bad all the female virgins have been used up. But who cares, they got their faces covered so..Joe, wanna give it a go?
These are absolutely not people in search of peace or wanting to save the ocian and all the cute animals this world has. The fat bastert who gets hit quite good is certainly a muslim fundamentalist and probably a sargent in some pesent army. The Israel intel probably knew this and took the nesesairy precautions (eliminate). The stonded white pedofile (fat guy with beard) you see in the video and they other have no good in them aswell (if you know healty people you can tell the difference) is just along for the ride of this "see how bad our neighbours are"trip. These is a new order in the wolrd and its called ignorace (but i now everything better then you) i talk to GODzilla
Greatest paintball game ever played.

I am glad to see that Israel is not controlling The Pirate Bay :)
fuck the turks for causing this trouble. they are hypocrites of the worst kind. tens of thousands of kurds have been killed in the occupied areas in turkey, in the fight against pkk "terrorists". Funny how the turks fight their own terrorists yet won't let anyone do the same. I guess its just the special standard for the jews. we all know what turkey would have done to the kurds if the pkk had fired thousands of rockets into turkish towns. They'd come down with an iron fist.
so now the turks incite trouble while failing to grand the kurds autonomy. just muslim hypocrisy in action.

Im not going to take any sides on this thing but I am pretty sure that Allahu Akbar translates as "Allah is the the greatest" and not "kill kill kill"
