You are one of those posters who went into a feeding frenzy at the time of this incident. Don't you feel any responsibility at all or have the decency to admit you were wrong? Or will you just repeat your acts of defamation and slander at your next opportunity?

I'll settle for an answer to any.
I just did, google "cuban missle crisis" and you'll get your answer

A simple Google search works well enough for a simpleton, not me. And some BBC report is not the final say.

They smelled blood. It was a feeding frenzy. Sharks going in for a kill.

So where are they now? Now that time has passed and light is being shed on the reality of what happened. And from no less than the BBC, a left-leaning entity with a history of anti-Israel bias.

Fact is that the reality was there for all to see even immediately after the incident. Videos showed a ship teeming with Islamic radicals attempting to beat to death the unsuspecting Israelis. They rapelled themselves down into a trap.

The hatemongers will stay away from this thread. There's no blood to attract them, only truth. There's no smell of freshly killed meat, only facts.

Yes, they're lurking on this forum, but only on threads that fit their warped view. Their bias. Their hatred.

And yes, they will come back in droves when they smell blood again. But they'll avoid this thread like the plague.
Yes!
Those sharks are busy feeding on other Israel-related threads repeatedly spewing garbage without any respect for facts, just as they did regarding the flotilla - by the hundreds of posts at that time.

So now that conclusive reports are coming out about the truth of that incident, they don't want to hear about it. They don't have the courage, decency, or intellectual honesty to admit they were wrong.
In that context, their propagandistic attacks on Israel, past, present, and future, should understandedly be seen as just that - baseless.

Here, their silence is deafening.

What information do you have that proves or even intimates that Israeli soldiers have ever used kids as human shields?

The ship's captain confirmed that the Turkish Islamic radicals on board planned, prepared for, and started the violence.
Turkel Committee calls 'Mavi Marmara' captain to testify
"the ship's captain told Israeli investigators that, prior to the raid, he had tried to prevent IHH activists from engaging in violent clashes with IDF soldiers.

The captain told his investigators that he, as well as several of the ship's staff, did everything in their power to prevent violence, including throwing the IHH members' metal pipes and chains overboard."

Interesting how the knee-jerking bashers on this forum viciously and vociferously attacked Israel without evidence in those hours and days immediately following the incident, but now that investigative truth is contradicting their biased views, there is only stone silence from them.

(I know this is an old thread, but why create a new one)

The IHH; Then and now.

Turkish police detain at least 23 in anti-al-Qaeda op, raid on İHH office

LOCAL - Turkish police detain at least 23 in anti-al-Qaeda op, raid on

So can Israel have its apology back now?
