This is video that was somehow smuggled by the folks over at CulturesOfResistance who were onboard the Mavi Marmara ship. If you have no clue what this whole fiasco is about then you should slap yourself and step up your world news game. If you do know what i’m referring to, then you understand that this smuggled footage is the first to be released from an independent source. There was a short 30sec clip released by the Israeli military that showed a soldier being thrown off of the Mavi Marmara ship by its civilian passengers.
The Israeli military killed 9 people aboard the ship (one guy even got shot 4 times in the head), confiscated ALL camera equipment and media recording devices, and arrested over 700 people. Somehow these folks managed to smuggle their footage through.
Things to look for:
1) blood on the ship before the Israeli helicopters dropped off soldiers (footage aired on CNN, Fox, etc)
2) every other person has a camera or a camcorder
3) the people on the ship had no guns
4) the old white guy holds a pamphlet, snatched from an israeli soldier, that shows predetermined targets of the military raid
5) what would you do if you were on the ship?

U.S. scold and light slap to Israel was fairly reasonable after all…too bad the grounding won’t last since the situation from the beginning is simply ‘unsustainable.’ Once again a typical phenomenon getting it’s 15secs of limelight due to the actions of courageous independents, but to what extent that’s is yet to be seen (probability is unfavorable predicting from the past)…but hope still exists.
Something like this would probably never have occurred if humanitarian aid was provided by U.N., but a complete political uproar would arise condoning such an U.N. action (food for thought #imjustsayin).
Correction: ‘NOT’ condoning
