Turkish reports: Five Turkish citizens helped Israel in Marmara raid

December 17, 2012

(JTA) -- Five Turkish citizens helped Israel during the 2010 raid on the Mavi Marmara ship that attempted to break Israel's naval blockade of Gaza.

Turkey's National Intelligence Organization in a filing to the Istanbul court prosecuting Israeli military leaders in absentia said the Turkish citizens were either among the troops that raided the ship or interrogated activists following the May 2010 raid in which nine Turkish citizens were killed, The Turkish Daily Zaman reported.

The Turkish citizens allegedly are part of the Shayetet 13, the elite Israeli naval commando force that raided the Mavi Marmara. They reportedly have been identified and their names sent to the Turkish prosecutors' office.

The investigation looked at all Turkish citizens who traveled between Israel and Turkey in the month surrounding the Mavi Marmara incident, according to Zaman. The investigation centered on Istanbul and Izmir, which have larger Jewish populations.

Turkey's Jewish community could suffer a backlash as a result of the investigation

'5 Key Claims of the UN’s Mavi Marmara Report


I skimmed the full report (105 pages, PDF format), and it largely vindicates Israel. Here are the five key assertions I took from this. Since I haven’t read the whole doc, I’m resisting the urge to insert my own comments.

1. Israel’s blockade of Gaza is legal.

The fundamental principle of the freedom of navigation on the high seas is subject to only certain limited exceptions under international law. Israel faces a real threat to its security from militant groups in Gaza. The naval blockade was imposed as a legitimate security measure in order to prevent weapons from entering Gaza by sea and its implementation complied with the requirements of international law.

2. The Turkish IHH, which organized the flotilla, was looking for trouble with the IDF.

The majority of the flotilla participants had no violent intentions, but there exist serious questions about the conduct, true nature and objectives of the flotilla organizers, particularly IHH. The actions of the flotilla needlessly carried the potential for escalation.'

Did you not get the memo that you're supposed to use the Z-word and not the J-word when you incite violence against Jews?

You're going to give your fellows a bad name

Zionists seem to be the more radical aggressors. I think you might less likely to be accused of lumping the entire race together as a group if you call the Israeli leadership, Zionists? Wild guess? I don't really know. I plead ignorance.
Mostly nothing works and you will be dragged into the mud for having any other opinion than the Zionists are above any natural law on earth and may do anything they wish.

Get out while you still can.

First, an anti-Jewish group in Hungary gains 40 out of 300 seats in the Hungarian parliament and now Turkey is picking on its Jewish population.

This is how it starts.
