Here are Islamic extremists arming themselves for the confrontation.
And here is Israel's video footage of their soldiers landing from the helicopters, being snatched by a mob, and being beaten nearly to death by various weapons.
But why would humanitarians attack soldiers? Because on the few ships that were attacked, they weren't humanitarians. If you watched the video above, you might recall one woman saying that they had two happy goals: 1. To die martyrs. OR. 2. Deliver goods.
How she planned to deliver humanitarian aid after her death is beyond my understanding, but it certainly is a strange organization of priorities. Makes one almost think that delivering humanitarian aid wasn't even the point.
These people went expecting a confrontation against the Israeli blockade. But instead of taking the Gandhi route and letting themselves be arrested, making Israel look the bad guy, they were going with the pure intention of getting themselves killed to stir up the entire region. It's like some form of Trojan Horse Terrorism.
Now, I do not disagree that Israel goes nuts way too often. But the Islamic world has a rather annoying habit of forgetting all the rocket attacks, suicide bombs, and the like that constantly kill Israeli citizens. Not to mention that Islamic governments have a habit of publicly announcing they want to destroy the small Jewish nation and kill everyone who lives there. Most notably, Hamas, the government of the Palestinians, which denies the people of Israel the right to exist on earth, and is devoted to its violent destruction. And this is the government that the Palestinians VOTED for. Well, you made your bed Palestine, and as usual, you hate laying in it.
Who wouldn't jump the gun in such malicious local environment? The Israelis have felt the stress of being under siege for about 70 years now. OF COURSE they are trigger-happy. Every generation of Jews in Israel have grown up in an environment of fear and random acts of violence. This seems to result in generations that are filled with people who are more willing to act first, with violence, because that's how things happen in the Middle-East.
Of course, the Israelis lose every peace they gain by continuing to be dicks.
And the Palestinians lose every bit of Israeli goodwill by constantly supporting senseless attacks.
Both sides are dipshits. Plain and simple.
Anyway....
Among those killed in the boat raid was a born American, a certain Furkan Dogan, age 19. I am reminded of a certain Jake W. Suter, an 18 year old American marine from Los Angeles that died on Tuesday in Afghanistan. Two children dead, sent to battle by the foolish words of their elders. So it goes.
Furkan Dogan's brother gives light to what might have been the cause of his sibling's death in this article: "We didn’t expect him to come back like this,” Mr. Dogan’s brother was quoted as saying. “However, we were not sorry to hear that he fell like a martyr.”
He is actually proud of the pointless death of his brother!
Why would he be like that?
Probably because all the adults both children respected growing up have been telling them that killing people and getting killed are glorious things. I mean, how are you not supposed to become a terrorist if your childhood looks in anyway something like this:
Either two things happened to end Furkan Dogan's life: 1. Siked up by propaganda, he attacked the Israeli soldiers like everyone else and got shot. OR. 2. He saw how senseless the violence was and backed away, only to be accidentally shot by a stray bullet aimed at some other attacker. So it goes.
EDIT: On the basis that Dogan was shot 5 times, the former of the possibilities is the more likely.
Either way, it's a senseless death, and it's a young man robbed of over 6 decades of laughter and love this his family. And his family is proud to see him go! Senseless. Senseless. Senseless.
If you want to find the true culprits of Middle Eastern violence, look for all the old fucks who can't forget the past, and instead of letting it go for the chance of a new future, they resurrect all that hate and passion that killed their friends and family so it can have a chance at slaughtering their sons and daughters.
Whether a religious leader in a mosque, or a fat-assed politician in an Israeli government building, both are equally to blame.
