Israeli Attack Force Attacks Second Flotilla, Though Without Any Murders This Time

The Rachel Corrie was seized by the Israeli attack forces on Saturday. Denis Halliday, former U.S. Assistant Secretary General, was on board and talked about how the Israeli's beat the shit out of most of the passengers. Of course, none of the materials are gonna make it to Palestine is it will alleviate the collective punishment forced upon that nation by the genocidal Israeli government.

Here is a little excerpt from the Democracy Now headlines of Tuesday, June 8:

Israeli commandos have seized another humanitarian aid boat headed to Gaza in an effort to break the blockade imposed by Israel on Gaza. Early on Saturday, Israel’s navy forcibly boarded an Irish-owned ship named the Rachel Corrie and then sailed it to an Israeli port. The boat was carrying 1,000 tons of medical and construction supplies for Gaza. Passengers included Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mairead Maguire and former UN Assistant Secretary-General Denis Halliday.

Are we hearing much about this one? It doesn't seem to be receiving the coverage the murders enacted by the Israeli Attack Forces got on the first flotilla.

Some passengers on the original flotilla are claiming that the Israeli Attack Forces even had an assassination list. Here is an excerpt from the same headlines from Democracy Now:

Passengers who were aboard the Mavi Marmara continue to provide new accounts of the Israeli assault. Some are now claiming they discovered a list of people the Israeli military intended to assassinate during their raid on the ship. The Independent of London reports passengers seized a booklet during their altercations with the Israeli forces who rappelled aboard. The passengers claim the booklet contained names and pictures of passengers the Israeli military intended to shoot dead. The Israeli military has denied the existence of an assassination list, and the claims could not be independently corroborated. A Turkish autopsy report shows the nine slain victims were shot a total of thirty times, many at close range. The Guardian newspaper reports five of those killed were shot either in the back of the head or in the back.
