They are singing Khaybar ya Yahood. Essentially, this is a call to attack and defeat the Jews, and either enslave their women and children (while killing the men) as Muhammed did to the Banu Qurayza, or to conquer Jews and take a huge tax from them as Muhammed did to the Khaybar village in a promise to allow them to remain in exchange for the heavy tax…but then have the Jews evicted anyway by the leader who followed him, Umar.

These are the people aboard the flotilla before it left Cyprus.

You would think these might have tipped off the commanders who sent the commandos into the rioting pro-Palestinian activists.

  • Even the Quran says that Israel is for Israelis;

    Qur’an:

    17:104

    وَقُلْنَا مِن بَعْدِهِ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ اسْكُنُواْ الأَرْضَ فَإِذَا جَاء وَعْدُ الآخِرَةِ جِئْنَا بِكُمْ لَفِيفًا

    Here is what the top Islamic scholars have translated this verse wrote;

    Abdullah Yusuf Ali: And We said thereafter to the Children of Israel, “Dwell securely in the land (of promise)”: but when the second of the warnings came to pass, We gathered you together in a mingled crowd.

    Mufti Taqi Usmani: and thereafter We said to the children of Isra‘il, .Live in the land. So, when the appointed time of the Hereafter will come, We shall bring you all joined together..

    Muhammad Marmaduke Pickthall: And We said unto the Children of Israel after him: Dwell in the land; but when the promise of the Hereafter cometh to pass we shall bring you as a crowd gathered out of various nations.

    Sahih International: And We said after Pharaoh to the Children of Israel, “Dwell in the land, and when there comes the promise of the Hereafter, We will bring you forth in [one] gathering.”

    In the Quran it says that Israel is for Moses and the Israslis and that they should NEVER give it up…so apparently many Muslims have never read their own Quran.

  • You can even put the Arabic verse in Google translate and see for yourselves.

  • shouldve tipped off the rest of the supposed peaceful participants….one of whom was reagan’s anti terror expert

    it didnt, because everyone on board those ships is…for the lack of a better term…a jew hating bastard

    if the un is going to condemn israel no matter what it does…next time…blow the whole lot right out of the water

  • Islamic text says that a true prophet has to come from the line of Moses (Mosa in Arabic). They claim that Muhammad is a descendant of Moses and Hagar the Egyptian woman (Egyptian aren’t Saudis). Which I don’t believe Muhammad was a descendant of Moses…but let’s assume that is true…then Muhammad is a JEW.

  • Something bad is happening in the world. The “good guys” are looked at as the “bad guys” and the “bad guys” are looked at as the “good guys. “ Unfortunately, today in the world there is a lot of confusion and mis-information. Many people are mis-informed. We all watched the reports on the news about the Israeli commander forces that took over six boats of aid to the Gaza Strip. Those six boats and many others are trying to bring aid to the Gaza Strip. At this point, we need to ask ourselves if this is the real intention of the organizers of the naval aid. And, if in the Gaza Strip, we really have humanitarian catastrophes, then the answer to those questions are: we have no humanitarian problem in the Gaza Strip. The Israelis in the past year allowed more than one million tons of supplies to enter the Gaza Strip. After completing a standard security check with the trucks, on the Israeli and Egyptian side of the Gaza Strip border. In the past, we had many attempts to smuggle in machineries to build weapon systems and ammunition including long range missiles. In the past ten years, almost one million Israeli civilians have been sleeping in shelters. As a country, we have the right to check everyone and everything that enters into the Gaza Strip as the Palestinians have proven in the past that they have no problems smuggling and using missiles against Israelis. If the condition of their own people is so important to their leaders, I would expect those leaders to invest their money in food, education, medication, etc. instead of relying on the humanitarian aid provided by your taxes. The state of Israel declared many times before to allow bringing aid into the Gaza Strip under the supervision of anyone after checking the cargo onboard. The same thing happened with those six boats that refused to cooperate with the state of Israel who refused to take with them humanitarian aid to Gilad Shalit, a prisoner of war, the soldier who has been held in captivity for the past four years. Hamas is also preventing Gilad Shalit to meet with the Red Cross, against every civil rights declaration. It’s taking us back to the question… who are the people on those boats? Five out of six boats were human right activists that did their job to bring aid to the Gaza Strip. Many Israeli civilians condemned any use of force against them. That’s why on those five boats, no one was injured. On the sixth boat, “the Marmara,” owned by the Turkish government and run by an organization called the IHH. IHH stands for Islamic extremists that are fighting for Islamic human rights. It means if you’re not Muslim, you don’t deserve to have any human rights. In the study written by the Danish Institute for International Studies, it was proven that IHH had a very tight relationship with Al-Quada and the International Jihad movement. In 1997, the Turkish government ran an investigation and inspected the IHH offices and discovered weapons, explosive devices and instructions on how to build explosive devices. IHH constantly supports families of terrorists that completed suicide attacks, and by that, they continuously encourage people to do participate in terrorist attacks. During the trial of Achma Rasam in 2000 in the United States, he was accused of blowing up six hundred kilograms of explosives in the Los Angeles airport. A French witness named Jans Louie Brugar claimed that IHH had a very important role helping Al Queda to execute the attack. Of couse, IHH are constantly accusing the United States for killing innocent Muslims all over the world.

    The soldiers that went down into the boat’s deck with paint-ball guns and nine millimeter handguns, as we could see on the videos posted online, never expected to front such violence. Many of the human rights activists attacked them with different weapons including knives and firearms. Watching those videos and listening to the walkie-talkie recordings, I learned that the soldiers did their best to restrain the use of their firearms under the distress of brutal lynching. For example, the IHH tried to crash the Israeli helicopter into the sea by tying the repelling rope used by the Israeli soldiers to the boat, not allowing the helicopter to take off.

    Only when the soldiers were under danger of death, did they use their firearms. That was only after the IHH “human rights fighters” stabbed and shoot Israeli soldiers, proceeded to throw two of them from the deck and tried to kill them. We cannot allow flipping the entire story over only to blame the State of Israel. The other five boats, like many other boats before, unhappily cooperated with the Israeli army without the use of physical harm towards anyone. The boats were taken into the port after unloading the cargo and examined by the boom experts; the cargo was released to its final destination – the Gaza Strip. The IHH boat had only purpose, and that was not to bring aid to the Gaza Strip. But to cause provocation to paint someone in colors of human right activists while watching a video of the same people attacking different soldiers on the boat is not exactly a “human rights mission.” Unfortunately, the IHH mission boat successfully accomplished their mission. The entire world is against the State of Israel right now. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East who is fighting everyday for human rights. Israel is not perfect, but we are providing aid to every disaster site in this world on a daily basis. Groups in Israel who are constantly supplying aid to the Palestinian people are just waiting to see if the same kind of humanitarian efforts are being provided by the IHH and other organizations to places like Darfur, Haiti, Chile, and all places in this world that require humanitarian aid rather than that are doing their very best to harm western societies.

    We all need to place ourselves in the situation where the state of Israel is reaching out their hands for peace since 1937, even before the state and the local Arab population rejected any proposal. The state of Israel is trying to protect the citizens since the beginning of time and they’ll continue to until the end of time. If we will need to repeat the safety measures so that we can live in safety, we’ll do it again and again. We need to ask ourselves: if human rights activists had taken bats, firearms, and knives towards any one of us, we would feel a great need to protect ourselves. Israel feels lonely in this battle against the brutal attack and it’s very important for us to hear your support wherever it is. While watching the footage and videos, please understand that the goal, in this particular case, was to harm Israeli soldiers and not to bring aid to the Palestinian people. If you want to think about the goal of bringing supplies and aid to Gaza, you would see two totally different stories. No doubt that we need to send aid to the Gaza Strip like any other disaster area in the world, but the way to bring the supplies cannot be at the expense of dead Israeli citizens.

  • yestarday we got few first bombs on ashkelon-it seems at last gaza got another reason to start war…even though this provocation is so evident and cheap

    • You mean that Israel should send soldiers into a battle to die? When the US sends soldiers to war, do you consider it a “fair” battle when American soldiers die?

  • The country of Britain: has condemned Israel’s actions – as “barbaric.” Together with the UN and other European countries.

    Let us just remember who the barbarians truly are.

    It was Britain: that went out of its way to sink the ships of escaping refugees from WW2. That is how barbaric and evil the British are. Where was the “Humanitarian Aid” of the British then?

    And it was Churchill – who refused all the pleas of Menachem Begin, the Head of the Irgun – to stop the barbaric killing of the refugees on all the boats which the British sank.

    Churchill was no hero of WW2, as he is made out to be. He showed his true colours as a barbarian more savage than the Germans.

    Churchill could have prevented the murder of millions of Jews by Hitler. Instead, he waited for the Germans to quietly “finish the job.” The European countries and the UN are in no position to talk about “Humanitarian Aid”. Their actions in WW2 show them to be savages, and less than sub-human – especially the British.

  • Eliiyahoo William Dwek – you are truly delusional. So in your mind because of things that happened 65 years ago a massacre can be justified for the IDF? Generally in Britain today racism is directed towards muslims. There is no justification for such disproportionate war, where many innocent civilians are killed on one side and relatively very few soldiers on another – I am not just referring to the flotilla here.

    Attacking an aid ship destined for an extremely deprived area is undoubtedly barbaric. So is sinking a ship of refugees. Neither one justifies each other and by trying to do so makes you either very stupid and possibly insane or viciously racist. I was born 40 years after the war and I condemn those actions you have mentioned as well – am I “less than sub-human”?

  • Picasso, the area was not “extremely deprived” and please don’t make me pull out the articles and photos that prove otherwise.

    As for “disproportionate war,” if you attack a bunch of commandos, expect to be hurt or killed. We know that the attackers weren’t “innocent civilians” as this video and others show. But even if they were, the second they attacked commandos, they sealed their fate. That’s not barbarism, it’s the logic of the situation.

    Furthermore, three soldiers were taken below and perceived to have been kidnapped. Thanks to the barbaric way Arabs have treated Israeli POWs, like Gilad Schalit, there is now a rule employed by the Israeli military that you don’t allow a soldier to be kidnapped, even if the result of the counter-attack that prevents the kidnapping is the death of the soldier.

    And if you’re referring to other wars, such as Gaza and Lebanon, in both Israel took care to avoid civilian casualties and your comments should be referred to the armies, Hamas and Hizbullah, that chose to fight from the middle of a civilian population. This business of “disproportionate war” is absurd. When the US sends its forces to Iraq or Afghanistan, I hope for zero casualties but especially for zero casualties on the American side. The same is true for Israel.
