  • Israel Has Lost Any Sense of Moralıty and Become Golıath
    ısrael HAS LOST ANY SENSE OF moralıtY AND BECOME golıaTH Hassan Ghani 12 February 2011 / Scotland Hassan Ghani (1985) is Scot of Pakistani origin. He is currently a cor- respondent of PressTV news channel based in London. He was free- lanced, and supplied material to BBC Scotland and Al Jazeera in the past, and has worked in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Gaza, Egypt and across Europe. Why did you join the Gaza Freedom Flotilla? What was your mo- tivation? As a correspondent for my channel, PressTV, it’s my job to cover significant events around the world. I’d already been sent on two aid convoys to Gaza that had departed by road from London. Having already been in contact with the IHH, which had been one of the organizers of Lifeline 3 Convoy led by Viva Palestina, it made sense for me to be onboard the Mavi Marmara and cover the story. Did you expect an Israeli attack before setting off? As you know, the Israeli authorities state that they warned in advance that they would not allow the Flotilla to go through. Israel was making all sorts of noises before our departure. They had shown to Israeli press the processing centres they had setup at Ashdod for the Flotilla passengers, and had leaked information about the military unit training to intercept us. However, my feeling was that this was probably just a rouse to scare off the Flotilla – a bluff in the hope that aid workers would back down in fear. If they did intercept the ships, we thought they would disable the engines or find some way of physically blocking the Flotilla’s path.

  • Ismail Ali-Mustafa Ismail Nashwan
    ı wıtnessed THE MASSACRE OF THE zıonıstS FOR THE fırst tıme ın MY vıllAGE, AL-DAWAyıma, ın 1948 Ismail Ali Nashwan 17 March 2011/ Jordan Hadji Ismail Ali Nashwan (1929) was born in the village of al-Dawayima, located on the west of Hebron, in Pales- tine. In 1948, in a raid on al-Dawayima, the Zionist 89th Battalion – composed of the Haganah and Lehi organiza- tions – under the command of Moshe Dayan, occupied the village and killed over 400 of its residents. Hadji Ismail Ali Nashwan is one of the eyewitnesses to this massacre. Then the Zionist Occupation Forces exiled those residents that remained alive.… In 1956, he was arrested by the Israeli forces and spent two years in prison, then exiled from Palestine to Jordan. He has been living in Jordan since then. While dreaming of returning to his homeland, he has made use of every opportunity to go back to Palestine. He joined the Lifeline 3 convoy and the Gaza Freedom Flotilla. In October 2010, he also joined the Lifeline 5 convoy, but the Egyptian administration prevented him from entering Gaza on the grounds that he posed a threat to the national secu- rity of Egypt, and that he had also a Turkish citizenship(!). THE FREEDOM FLOTıLLA ACHıEVED MUCH GREATER GOALS THAN ANTıCıPATED Mustafa Ismail Nashwan 17 March 2011/ Jordan Mustafa Ismail Nashwan (1969), the son of Hadji Ismail Ali Nashwan, was born in Amman, and completed his educa- tion there. Since 1990, he has been working as an imam and a preacher. He joined the Lifeline 3 convoy and the Gaza Freedom Flotilla with his father, and was refused en- try to Egypt as part of the Lifeline 5 convoy.

  • According to the Turkish Media (June 2012), IHH Head Bülent Yildirim Was Under Investigation for Having Clandestinely Transferred Funds to Al-Qaeda
    July 17, 2012 According to the Turkish media (June 2012), IHH head Bülent Yildirim was under investigation for having clandestinely transferred funds to Al-Qaeda. The IHH is an Islamist Turkish organization with an anti-Western, anti-Israeli orientation. It led the Mavi Marmara flotilla IHH head Bülent Yildirim at a press Bülent Yildirim (right) gives an inflammatory conference on his return to Turkey from speech to IHH operatives and supporters Israel, where he was detained after the aboard the Mavi Marmara in preparation for Mavi Marmara flotilla (Zaman website, their confrontation with IDF soldiers. June 4, 2010) Information published in the Turkish media about the investigation of the IHH 1. According to items appearing in the Turkish media in the middle of June 2012, the Turkish justice system initiated an investigation of IHH head Bülent Yildirim, suspected of transferring funds to Al-Qaeda. The Turkish newspaper Haberturk, quoted by other media,1 reported that the investigation was being covertly conducted by the offices of the special prosecutor in Istanbul and Diyarbakir. It added that the investigation focused on the IHH's transfer of funds to Al-Qaeda and on IHH activities in the Middle East (Islamgundem website, June 15, 2012). 1 The item was quoted by Hürriyet and appeared on the Islamic website Islamgundem. 128-12 2 2. IHH head Bülent Yildirim denied his organization had transferred money to Al- Qaeda. He claimed that for years the IHH has operated as a worldwide humanitarian organization. According to Yildirim, it provides assistance to the needy regardless of race, religion or language.

  • The Pro-Hamas British Organization Viva Palestina Recently Failed in Its Latest Attempt to Send an Aid Convoy to Hamas in the Gaza Strip
    June 4, 2012 The pro-Hamas British organization Viva Palestina recently failed in its latest attempt to send an aid convoy to Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The Egyptian authorities refused to grant it entrance to Egypt and its activists argued about its passage through Syria, which was eventually exploited by the Syrian regime's propaganda. George Galloway collects donations in Bradford, England, for Hamas in the Gaza Strip before the convoy sets out (YouTube). The money collected for some of the previous convoys was transferred to the de-facto Hamas administration in the Gaza Strip. Overview The British pro-Hamas organization Viva Palestina recently failed it in its latest attempt to send a convoy its sixth convoy to the Gaza Strip. The Egyptian authorities refused to allow the convoy to enter Egyptian territory, in our assessment because of the violent behavior of the activists participating in the January 2010 convoy. At that time they confronted the Egyptian security forces in a kind of rehearsal for the events aboard the Mavi Marmara a few months later. (Viva Palestina head George Galloway was declared persona non grata by Egypt because of the January 2010 confrontation.) 2. In addition, disagreements broke about among the activists participating in the convoy over its passage through Syria, a country loathsome to Western public opinion. 108-12 2 In the end Galloway decided to send the convoy through Syria anyway, and its passage was in fact exploited by Bashar Assad's regime for propaganda. Viva Palestina specializes in sending overland convoys with material and financial aid to Hamas and its de-facto administration in the Gaza Strip.

  • Egyptian Authorities Refused to Allow 17 Activists from the Viva Palestina Convoy to Enter the Gaza Strip
    The Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center November 3, 2010 Egyptian authorities refused to allow 17 activists from the Viva Palestina convoy to enter the Gaza Strip. Those denied entry included Viva Palestina leader George Galloway, several activists who had been aboard the Mavi Marmara, Muslim Brotherhood activists, and participants in the confrontation with Egypt’s security forces in January 2010. A group photo of Viva Palestina activists denied entry by the Egyptian authorities. The photograph was taken in Latakia (Al-Sabil, the Muslim Brotherhood organ in Jordan, October 17, 2010). Overview 1. After a number of delays, a ship finally set sail from the Syrian port of Latakia to the Gaza Strip on the night of October 18-19, part of an aid convoy organized by Viva Palestina. The ship, with 30 passengers on board, reached the Egyptian port of Al-Arish on October 21. About 310 more convoy participants who were unable to arrive by sea arrived at the Al-Arish airport on three airplanes under an agreement reached with the Egyptian authorities. The convoy entered the Gaza Strip on October 21 and stayed there for three days. 2. During negotiations between the convoy leaders and Egyptian authorities that took place while the convoy was waiting in Syria, the Egyptians announced that they would let the convoy enter the Gaza Strip only under the condition that 17 convoy participants, including Viva Palestina leader George Galloway, would not enter Egyptian territory. 3. The people denied entry included six Britons, nine Jordanians, and two Turkish nationals. Partial information on the activists who were denied entry shows that some of them were involved in the violent confrontation that took place between the Viva Palestina convoy and Egypt’s security forces in January 2010, while others are activists from Jordan (and possibly Turkey) affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood and radical Islam (see Appendix I for details).

  • Haya Al Shatti 26 December 2010 / Istanbul, Turkey
    ALLAH BLESSED EVERY sıngle FLOtıllA PARtıcıpANT wıth hıs unıqUE gıftS Haya Al Shatti 26 December 2010 / Istanbul, Turkey Haya Al Shatti (1981) is from Kuwait, and works for a Kuwaiti real estate firm, Al Imtiaz Investment Company, as a treasury-manager. She has been involved in voluntary humanitarian aid activities, and joined previous land convoys to Gaza. 280 Witnesses of the Freedom Flotilla Nadeem Ahmed Khan 281 Why did you join the Gaza Freedom Flotilla? I joined the land convoy of Viva Palestina, Lifeline 3, in Decem- ber 2009, and had the opportunity to enter into Gaza to see the situ- ation and the living conditions of people there. I decided to join the next ones, because I think we should do something for Gaza. Did you foresee an Israeli attack before setting off? As you know, the Israeli authorities state that they warned in advance that they would not allow the Flotilla to go through. I had thought that they might do something. They might sur- round the ships, they might take us to the Occupied Palestine, but they would never ever attack and use weapons to us; because they definitely knew that there were volunteers from all around the world, from different religions, and that we were unarmed civilians. So what happened actually was a big shock for me. Could you please compare the atmosphere on the Mavi Mamara before and after the Israeli attack? Before the attack – even an hour before – everything was in its place, everything was good and clean, and everybody was happy and strong.

Are the Palestinian people and the Palestinian issue okay?” [A] “The Palestinian people are always moving towards a specific goal of ending the occupation and establishing a Palestinian state on Palestinian national land, so as long as our people are moving towards achieving their objectives, I think that they are okay.” “Of course, our way toward victory is full of pain, suffering, prisons, exile, and martyrdom, but as long as our people are heading in the right direction towards ending the occupation, liberating the land, liberation of holy places and establishing their independent state, they are fine.
