"Irish pro-Palestinian activists accused Israel on Thursday of sabotaging their boat while it was docked in Turkey to stop it joining an international flotilla bound for the Palestinian enclave of Gaza.The crew of the MV Saoirse realized there was something wrong with the propeller shaft when they took the vessel for refueling at Gocek on Turkey's southwest coast on Monday. Activists said a marine engineer who inspected the damaged boat in dry dock declared that it had been sabotaged.
"It's identical to the damage to the Swedish boat and you don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out who is behind this," Paul Hogan, a former Irish rugby international who was among the activists, told Irish state broadcaster RTE. "Israel has made statements saying that this flotilla will be stopped. The flotilla, which is now down to nine vessels from some 15 planned earlier, hopes to set out over the weekend in an attempt to run an Israeli naval blockade to take relief supplies to Gaza, home to 1.5 million Palestinians."
The Israelis are at it again.
No doubt the Israelis are denying it. Or scoffing at it in that self-righteous and smug arrogance that has become the hallmark of the racist Jewish state.
Whom am I to believe? A group of Irish peace activists versus Israel?
Irish peace activists vs The Apartheid State of Israel.
Hmmmm, that's a really tough one.
Do you get my point?
