Israeli Navy Brutality Towards Flotillards

As I posted yesterday, the Israeli navy boarded the flotilla ship Dignite-Al Karame, which was on its way to Gaza.

Per the IDF Spokesperson:

IDF Spokesperson Brigadier General Yoav Mordechai explained that the boarding of the Al-Karama took place “as soon as their actions turned into a provocation.”

“After our dialogue with the yacht reached a dead-end and all options were exhausted, the Israel Navy decided to board the Al-Karama. We realized that the Al-Karama captain was lying. He lied to the Greek authorities on his voyage route, changing it midway from Egypt to the Gaza port,” said Brig. Gen. Mordechai.

Brig. Gen. Mordechai described the successful, peaceful boarding of the Al-Karama, which will be towed to Israel’s Ashdod port. Passengers behaved in an orderly manner, following instructions from the naval soldiers.

Meanwhile, here are photos from the boarding, which was described by Hamas as “attacking the flotilla in a savage way using violence to terrorize activists onboard the ship.”

I know what you are thinking..Zionist Death Refreshments.TM

Either that, or you could call it Water Boarding.

Update: Great comment from Aliza:

The cruelty of the IDF knows no bounds – they practically forced those peace activists to eat occupation nectarines, with no thought for their public image or moral scruples. i think a nazi comparison may be in order.

  1. Zionist Death Refreshments, indeed! But instead of puny little nectarines (are those really nectarines?–look at the size of 'em) they should be serving this common rabble rich imperialist little tidbits like otter's noses or wren's livers. That'd give 'em a taste of some real oppressor's bill of fare.

    1. A lot of the fruit grown in Israel is smaller than what is grown in the US or in S. America.

      I have had Georgian peaches the size of softballs in the US. Here peaches, nectarines and plums are at the most around the size of a Pensy Pinky.

      1. But the pommegrantes are twice the size of in the US. (Which, by the way, is a waste of water.) For some reason (taste, I suppose), the cucumbers are really small (and called in Hebrew by the wrong name).

        1. What's a waste of water? I didn't understand that point.

          Something changed in the Israel pomegranate market over the last 3 or 4 years. They are much bigger, juicier, more plentiful and they are available for a much longer season than they were in the past.

          I think someone smuggled over some ideas from the Pom company out in the US west coast.

            1. The larger poms have a ton more fruit mass in them than the smaller ones, are sweeter and juicier.

              They are now a high quality export product. They're also manufacturing pom juice in Israel in serious quantities for the first time.

              And here's an added patent:

              I once bought a bottle. Interesting and enjoyable, though it does not replace real wine. Also, the price per bottle is way too high. For the same prices, I can get Israeli boutique wines which won gold medals in blind taste competitions in Italy.

              1. This "Town and Country" Shy Guy is a new side I've never seen before. Perhaps just as with any fine wine, Shy Guy gets more mellow and refined with age.

              2. Shy Guy,
                more fruit mass in them than the smaller ones, are sweeter and juicier.
                Huh. What a waste!. There is nothing sweet or juicy in the poison you spew or your venomous stings 🙂

                Clearly the fruits you eat are not being metabolised properly.

  2. There will surely be a UN Human Rights inquiry as to whether they were forced to eat produce from the "occupied territories"…..

  3. Water Boarding?

    Nice one!

    Did you see that now Lebanon wants some offshore gas (I think)? LATMA claims it's in improvement – until now they wanted to throw the Jews into the sea, now they want to throw them FROM the sea. (BTW, LATMA is Arabic for a slap.)

  4. The lady on the right -is it Ha'aretz correspondent Amira Haas?

    I am sure the scowl on her face could make a few people sea-sick.
    Can't wait for the UN condemnation of Israel for photographing PoWs!(or is PoSs?)
