Titolo: pure i mercenari

http://www.jpost.com/Israel/Article.aspx?id=177452
The IDF has identified one of the passengers aboard the Mavi Marmara , 
which navy commandos commandeered earlier this week, as the ringleader 
of a group of mercenaries who were recruited from a city in northwest 
Turkey, according to new details from the military’s ongoing 
investigation of the Gaza flotilla.
The IDF identified a group of about 50 men – of the 700 on board – who 
were well-trained and were stationed throughout the ship, mostly on the 
upper deck, where they laid an ambush for the IDF soldiers who rappelled 
onto the deck from helicopters.
The members of this violent group were not carrying identity cards or 
passports. Instead, each of them had an envelope in his pocket with 
about $10,000 in cash. The defense establishment suspects the funding 
for the mercenaries may have come from elements within the Turkish 
government.
According to sources within the defense establishment, one member of the 
group, who appears to have been the ringleader, traveled to the city of 
Bursa in northwest Turkey and allegedly recruited mercenaries for the 
flotilla there.
In videos from the Marmara released this week by the IDF, this group of 
men can be seen preparing to confront IDF commandos. The videos, taken 
by the ship’s security cameras, show the group of activists brandishing 
metal bars, slingshots, and other assorted weaponry.
The group was split up into smaller squads that were distributed 
throughout the deck and communicated with one another with handheld 
communication devices. The men wore bulletproof vests and gas masks.
One video clearly shows a member of the group throwing a stun grenade 
onto the IDF commando vessel that pulled up alongside the Marmara. 
Another video shows how groups of at least four or five men swarmed each 
commando that landed on the top deck, beating them with metal bars, and 
in one case throwing a soldier off the third deck.
Soldiers testified that in at least two instances their sidearms were 
taken from them, as were their helmets and vests. Two soldiers jumped 
off the ship into the water to save themselves from being lynched.
On Wednesday, Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilna’i told a Knesset 
hearing that all nine men killed on the Marmara were “involved in the 
fighting.”
“There were no innocents among the dead,” Vilna’i said.
Meanwhile, Palestinian Media Watch reported Thursday that three of the 
four Turks killed on ship sought a martyr’s death.
PMW quoted from the official Palestinian Authority daily Al-Hayat 
al-Jadida:
“Three of the four Turks killed in the Israeli attack on the ‘Freedom 
Flotilla’ bound for the Gaza Strip wanted to die as martyrs, said their 
relatives and friends. The wife of one of them, Ali Haydar Bengi, told 
the Vatan daily: “He used to help the poor and the oppressed. For years, 
he wanted to go to Palestine. And he constantly prayed to Allah to grant 
him shahada (martyrdom).
“Ali worked at telephone repair shop in Diyarbakir, the largest city in 
southeastern Turkey. Sabir Ceylan, a friend of Ali, told the Milliyet 
newspaper: ‘Before embarking on this journey [to Gaza], he said he 
desired to become a martyr. He had a strong desire to die as a martyr.’
“Another Turkish victim was Ali Ekber Yaratilmis, a 55-year old 
pensioner. He was a father of five who lived in Ankara. Ali volunteered 
for the Turkish Aid and Human Rights Organization [IHH], which transfers 
aid to Gaza. A friend, Mehmet Faruk Cevher, told the Sabah daily that 
[Ali] ‘devoted his life to charity work, that’s why he went to Gaza. He 
always wanted to become a martyr.’
“The third victim was Ibrahim Bilgen, a 61-year old pensioner and father 
of six sons. He was a supporter of the Felicity Party, an Islamic 
movement in the southeastern city of Siirt, Anatolia news agency 
reported. His brother-in-law, Nuri Mergen, told the agency: He was an 
exemplary man and a truly good man. That’s why he was truly worthy of 
shahada (martyrdom). Allah granted him the death that he wished for.’”
Palestinian Media Watch reported in the last two days that participants 
on board were chanting Islamic battle cries and talking about their 
coming martyrdom during the days before the confrontation.

 coming martyrdom during the days before the confrontation.
che schifo 'sta roba.
Complimenti per l'odio religioso e le puttanate anti turche di questa
bufala ridicola.

no, dai fammi capire.
La TV turca trasmette una serie televisiva che e' pura propaganda
antisemita, fa capire di essere dalla parte di Hamas, guarda con
crescente simpatia alla atomica iraniana e quello degli israeliani
sarebbe odio religioso?
A gennaio tutti davano per finito Danny Ayalon, che ha portato la
faccenda sotto l'occhio dei media. Ayalon adesso e' ancora ministro, ed
in assenza di Bibi era li' a spiegare al mondo cosa e' successo.
Che cosa ha dalla sua parte? Un complotto dei savi di sion o delle buone
ragioni? Del genere che e' meglio colpire la Turchia adesso, piuttosto
che quando l'Iran avra' l'atomica?

 che quando l'Iran avra' l'atomica?
secondo te si prepara la guerra turco israeliana ?
Stiamo impazzendo o cosa?

 Stiamo impazzendo o cosa?
Questa, invece, la considerazione che vedo circolare in Israele - se la
Turchia si sta armando per un confronto militare, conviene farle capire,
ADESSO, che possono essere cazzi.
Certo, per chi in Italia vede Israele avviata sul viale del tramonto
(dal 1977, no, dal 1982, no dal 1985, no, dal 1990, no dal ecc. ecc.) le
cose sono ovviamente diverse. Come si dice, questione di religione.
E la religione che dice che Israele (ma anche il mondo intero) non e'
piu' quello di una volta ha molto, molto seguito in Italia. Tutti i
lettori di Michele Serra, per esempio.

 martirio ?
no, lui non la beve, la diffonde. E' molto peggio.

Non basta essere vivi per non essere dementi.
