Israel owes some answers
Why did Israel choose to attack the humanitarian flotillas in international waters, at night with masked soldiers and live ammunition?
Why did they choose to confiscate the cameras and film of the reporters documenting the action on the boat that would have corroborated what the Israelis said?
When they deported the passengers, why didn’t they return their belongings – passports, money, cell phones and laptops?
Why did they choose to shoot the American in the head four times at close range? When do shots to the back of heads constitute “self-defense”?
Is it to show the world they only abide by international law when it suits them?
According to the Guardian newspaper, at the present time, Israel has atomic submarines in the Persian Gulf that are equipped with nuclear launching missile capabilities. Is this to provoke Iran or to embarrass the United States again?
