Subject: RE: BS: New Israeli atrocity: attack on Gaza aid
Emma, the passengers report that they were being fired on with live rounds before the Israelis landed. We can see the blood dripping down from the open hatch before the Israelis landed. One of the journalists reported that he personally saw a man being shot from above in the top of his head, and he saw another journalist who was holding a camera taking footage being shot in the arm before the Israelis landed. The passengers are saying that the rest of the footage and still shots that the Israeli government is withholding will prove that they are telling the truth and the government of Israel is lying.
I don't think it really matters how many were killed before they landed and how many were killed after they landed. What matters is that the Israelis started killing before anything happened that they can claim necessitated acting in self-defense.
