Israeli captain in Gaza flotilla op
Captain wounded in mission says mob of activists pounced on the troops, approaching them with knives and batons.
By Fadi Eyadat
The Israel Navy commandos who on Monday raided a flotilla bound for the Gaza Strip with humanitarian aid had no choice but to defend themselves against the violent activists, a captain of the elite marines unit who carried out the operation said Tuesday.
"We knew there would be resistance, but not at such an enormous scale," said Captain R., who led one of the teams and was wounded in the mission. "Every [activist] that approached us wanted to kill us."
Captain R. was the second commando to be dropped from a military helicopter onto the Turkish-flagged ship. During the mission, a large mob of the activists hurled him from the upper to lower deck of the ship.
From the Rambam Hospital in Haifa, Captain R. said that every commando who entered the ship was met by a number of activists who charged at the soldiers and attacked them. At least 75 percent of the activists took part in what the soldiers later described as a "lynch."
"I was the second to be lowered in by rope," said Captain R. "My comrade who had already been dropped in was surrounded by a bunch of people. It started off as a one-on-one fight, but then more and more people started jumping us. I had to fight against quite a few terrorists who were armed with knives and batons."
The captain said that he was first forced to cock his gun and shoot once when one of the activists came toward him with a knife.
"At that point, another twenty people starting coming at me from every direction," said Captain R. "They jumped at me and hurled me to the deck below the bridge. Then I felt a stabbing in my stomach – it was a knife. I pulled it our and somehow managed to get to the lower level. There, was another mob of people."
The unit had seized control of the ship by that point, save for the lower-most level. "Another soldier and I managed to get out of there and jump into the water."
The commandos had been well-prepared for the mission, said the captain, and had taken into account that the activists might respond with violence. "We thought it would be passive resistance, maybe verbal, but not at such strength," he said.
Despite the tragic results, the captain said he felt his soldiers had operated in a justified fashion. "We worked in an outstanding way, with the values that were instilled in us," he said. "We only turned our weapons against those who put us in danger."

WHAT A SHAM... PEACE ADVOCATES ACTING PIRATES, LIKE WILD IMMATURE CHILDREN THAT WANT IT THEIR WAY OR NOTHING. LOGIC SAYS... YOU WANT TO BRING AID TO GAZA? GO THROUGH ASHDOD. BRAIN WASHED, SO CALLED PEACE ACTIVISTS, FIND THE MOST PROVOCATIVE WAY TO GET HELP TO GAZA, WHICH AFTER THIS STUNT, WILL PROBABLY NOT GET TO GAZA AT ALL... OR ANYTIME SOON. THE WORLD IS ON CRAZY PILLS. ANYTHING TO DISTORT REALITY. IF ARAFAT SAID YES TO PEACE BACK IN 2000, WE WOULD NOT BE HERE. INSTEAD ARAFAT SAID NO, HE THEN WENT BACK HOME AND STARTED A BLOODY INTIFADA. WHICH ISRAEL HAD TO DEFEND ITSELF EVERYDAY. BEFORE THE INTIFADA, THERE WAS NO DIVIDING WALL, ARABS WERE WORKING IN ISRAEL, BLOCKADES WERE MINIMAL AND GAZA WAS RELATIVELY QUIET. AFTER THE INTIFADA, UNTIL ISRAEL MANAGED TO BUILD A WALL, WE HAD COWARDLY, BRAIN WASHED TERRORISTS ENTERING ISRAEL EVERY DAY... SUICIDE BOMBINGS. LET US NOT FORGET... THE MENTALLY DISABLED 12 YEAR OLD BOY THAT WAS SENT BY HAMAS TO BLOW HIMSELF UP AT AN ISRAELI CHECKPOINT. THE BOY GOT THERE, AND DIDN'T WANT TO DIE. IT SHOWS HOW UNBELIEVABLY INHUMAN, HEARTLESS AND BARBARIC HAMAS IS... NOT ISRAEL. WHERE IS THE COMMON SENSE, WHERE IS THE LOGIC? IT IS JUST BLIND HATRED AND RESENTMENT TOWARD JEWS AND ISRAEL. ARIEL SHARON REALIZED THAT IT WAS TIME FOR PEACE.... THAT AFTER YEARS OF BLOODSHED, IT WAS TIME TO TAKE A POSITIVE STEP TOWARDS PEACE. HE STARTED BY LEADING THE WAY TO ENDING THE OCCUPATION IN GAZA... AND IT WAS UNDER ENORMOUS PRESSURE FROM WITHIN ISRAEL, THE GOV'T, THE PEOPLE AND THE SETTLERS... BOTTOM LINE: WE LEFT GAZA. HAMAS STOLE THE GAZA STRIP FROM THE PALESTINIANS... THEY STARTED OFF BY DESTROYING EVERYTHING. THEN BUILT ROCKETS AND STARTED LAUNCHING THEM INTO ISRAELI TOWNS - EVERY SINGLE DAY. DOZENS OF ROCKETS... EVERYDAY. THAT PUSHED ISRAEL IN TO RESPONDING... WHICH MADE THEIR MASTERFUL CUNNING PLOY TO GAIN WORLD SYMPATHY, LOOK GOOD, WHILE ISRAEL LOOKS BAD. THEN CAST LEAD HAPPENED, OUT OF NECESSITY AND DEFENSE. RIGHT OR WRONG, IT WAS NECESSARY. IT'S LIKE MEXICAN TERRORIST GROUP LAUNCHING DOZENS OF ROCKETS INTO ARIZONA TOWNS, EVERY DAY. I DON'T THINK AMERICA WOULD SIT BACK AND TAKE IT. I WONDER WHAT RESPONSE AMERICA WOULD TAKE, IF EVEN 1 ROCKET HITS AMERICAN LAND. PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD ARE BEING CONNED... GIVE SYMPATHY TO A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD NOT EVEN BE HERE. BRING HUMANITARIAN AID IN THROUGH THE PROPER CHANNELS, UNDER YOUR WATCH AND YOUR INSPECTION. BOTTOM LINE, THIS DOESN'T HELP ANYONE... ESPECIALLY THE GAZAN'S THAT THE ACTIVISTS SAY NEED THE HELP AND SUPPLIES SO DESPERATELY. YOU CANT JUST FLOAT INTO MIAMI SAYING YOU WANT TO BRING HUMANITARIAN AID TO CUBAN REFUGEES... CRAZY PILLS I TELL YOU... CRAZY PILLS. by élan

In a normal country, when an enemy threatens a soldier, then the soldier responds using overwhelming force, often lethal, in order to eliminate the threat. Even when an enemy combatant surrounds himself with women and children hostages, which is characteristic of Islamic "fighters", the soldier is obligated to eliminate the threat. It was only by the Grace of God that no Jewish soldiers were murdered in this incident. They foolishly prided themselves as they shouted to their comrades to avoid shooting into the lynch mob. Their foolish commanders sent them into the battle with paint ball rifles! Hamas and Hizbollah systematically fire missiles at Israeli civilian population centers from within their own civilian population centers. These same foolish soldiers and their government feel it is immoral to take out the missile launchers. Rather according to their skewed moral calculus, it is preferable that the missiles should murder innocent Jewish civilians. Rashi, the famous medieval Torah commentator, said that one who shows mercy to the cruel will be cruel to the innocent. Thus the same moral soldiers and their moral government have no qualms about destroying the homes of the Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria for the sake of a fake peace that has left thousands of Jews murdered, maimed, widowed and orphaned.

They were just kindly activists, right? They were told to turn around, they were told not to do this, they insisted to continue, they were the provokers also. There are other ways of delivering aid to gaza, they did this intentionally to provoke Israel and then to provoke the soldiers and finally to draw the attention of the world while attempting to demonize Israel. Do we no longer talk of the 500+ citizens and innocents killed in the past few months by terrorist (hamas, al-qaeda, hezbollah, et.al.) suicide bombers, bull shit. These were no activists, they were hate filled animals.
