IDF Executed Mavi Marmara Victims


Update: Paul Woodward has discovered an earlier video posted to the Web from which the following was apparently culled, via what he calls ‘creative editing.’ Obviously, raw footage is preferable, but it isn’t clear if the effect of the editing was actually any falsification of the sordid reality of what occurred.
Original posting:
The Israeli military attempted to confiscate and erase the photographic and video evidence of its brutal asault on the Mavi Marmara aid ship on Memorial Day. But it turns out that digital images can often be recovered after erasure, and can be put on small memory sticks that can be hidden in nooks and crannies of luggage. So some images are in fact surfacing.

Furkan Dogan - the American citizen killed in Monday's attack on the Gaza Humanitarian Aid Flotilla, by Israeli Special Forces in international waters in the Mediterranean Sea. Israel started firing on the ships 5 minutes before boarding the first one.
The most damaging is a film of an Israeli soldier kicking an American citizen while the latter is on the ground,and then executing him. This film completely refutes the rightwing Israeli government’s narrative of besieged lightly armed troops haplessly fending off naked aggression on the part of the aid workers. The video, which has not been confirmed, is now at Youtube:
Warincontext.com says that they asked the Israeli military about the video but did not get a substantive comment
