IDF Board the MV Rachel Corrie!

Israeli forces have seized an Irish-owned ship bound for Gaza, boarding the Rachel Corrie close to the Gaza shore.

“The ship has been boarded and there was full compliance from the crew and passengers on board,” a spokeswoman for the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) said.

The IDF says no helicopters were used and there were no reports of violence.

It says the boat will be brought to Ashdod Port where goods will be inspected and transferred to Gaza via land crossings.

The move came after the Rachel Corrie refused to respond to four requests from the navy to head for the southern Israeli port of Ashdod, and stayed its course for the Gaza Strip.

The Irish-owned vessel – named after American pro-Palestinian activist Rachel Corrie, who was killed in the Gaza Strip in 2003 – has 11 passengers on board.

It is carrying tonnes of aid for Gaza, including cement, which Israel bans because of concerns it could be used to produce weapons.

Before the boat was seized, IDF spokeswoman Lieutenant Colonel Avital Leibovich told the group they must come to Israel if they want the aid to make it to Gaza.

“If the goal of this flotilla, or this boat specifically, is to bring material into Gaza then we have no problem, but why do it the illegal way?” she said.

“There is a marine blockade around Gaza, and not for just the fun of it. Only six months ago we found a civilian ship coming from Iran here to Ashdod Port filled with munitions and weaponry.”

The apparently peaceful ending to the standoff comes just five days after the Israeli naval commandos raided another aid ship heading for Gaza.

The operation left nine foreign activists dead and scores wounded, including seven Israeli soldiers.

I dont think any peace activist was prepared to be shot through the head at point blank range for even taking a photo and at the end of the day 90 % of the ships cargo will go to the israelis ,,, the bare bones from the vultures will be handed to palistine as per usual

I am positive that all IDF don't want to shoot people anywhere in a confined space.

And this proves it very well as well as the other 5 boats in the MAVI Marmara convoy! But then again, there were no violent Turks aboard those boats!

Next idiot please....

[Get Real!]

Paphitis, how can I help you save face so that you may peacefully leave the forum?

Talk to unkie GR...

[Paphitis]

Poor GR!

Still I'm not surprised that I was proven right all along.

The difference between the MAVI Marmara and the MV Rachel Corrie is that the MAVI Marmara had violent jihadist Turks and well trained MIT agents.

You should look in the mirror, reflect and try to overcome your shameful Turkish ways!

Lucky there were no Turks on the MV Rachel Corrie!
