Israeli takeover of Jewish boat was violent

Glyn Secker, captain of the Jewish boat to Gaza that was intercepted ten days ago, disputes the official Israeli version of the incident, in a letter to Netanyahu.

Dear Prime minister,

We urge you not to rely on the IDF account of the boarding of The Jewish Boat To Gaza. The IDF state that there was no resistance and no violence. The true account, however,is as follows:

When boarded we cut the engines. I held the wheel with all my strength. With one commando standing by with an electric Taser shock gun, two others removed me – I am 66 - and threw me hard to the floor. I grabbed the ignition keys but they wrenched them from me. They violently shoved aside those sitting over the switches and started the engines. On the port side, commandos singled out Yonatan and Itamar Shapira, our two refuseniks. Itamar was violently dragged backwards across the safety wires to their boat and restrained dangerously by a commando who pushed his fingers deep into Itamar's jugular artery. Yonatan was hugging Rami Elhanan, our Bereaved Families passenger. The commander fired his Taser twice into Yonatan's shoulder, then with deliberation moved Yonatan's lifejacket aside, placed his Tazer directly over Yonatan's heart and fired. Yonatan's whole body went into spasm, he let out a fearful scream, crashed across the cockpit and was dragged backwards over the safety wires to the commandos' boat.

As passive resistance I turned off the fuel supply to the engines, so they towed us at very high speed through increasingly rough waters. The boat lurched and crashed about for hours to Ashdod . It was dangerous for the elderly passengers, most sustained serious bruising.

It is illegal in the United States to Taser directly at the heart as this has caused deaths. The commandos could not have known whether Yonatan's heart would have sustained this assault or not. There was therefore considerable non-violent resistance by the crew and passengers to the illegal action by the IDF, and violent, reckless and very dangerous action by the IDF commandos. It was only luck that there were not more deaths (and another public relations disaster for Israel). We urge you to take much firmer control of your armed forces.

Being happy–is it good for the Jews? "Before Professor Dershowitz accused me of being an anti-Semite (news to me), I was a happy person. Since then, I'm still a happy person". –Michael Santomauro

An antisemite condemns people for being Jews, I am not an antisemite.--Michael Santomauro

Most of us are mentally trapped to think Jewish. Actually, it is safe to say that virtually every mainstream publication or or other type of media organ is "nothing more than a screen to present chosen views." The great battle over the last century has been a battle for the mind of the Western peoples, i.e., non-Jewish Euros. The chosen won it by acquiring control over essentially the complete mainstream news, information, education and entertainment media of every type, and using that control to infuse and disseminate their message, agenda and worldview, their way of thinking, or rather the way they want us to think. Since at least the 1960s this campaign has been effectively complete. Since then they have shaped and controlled the minds of all but a seeming few of us in varying degree with almost no opposition or competition from any alternative worldview. So now most of us are mentally trapped in the box the chosen have made for us, which we have lived in all our lives. Only a few have managed to avoid it or escape it, or to even sometimes see outside of it, and so actually "think outside of the (Jewish) box." --Michael Santomauro

Thank you and remember:

Peace is patriotic!
