Israel President Claims Soldiers Did “Nothing” to Dead Passengers

Peres and other hawks may argue that the Israeli army’s conduct was justifiable if they are willing to stick to the demonstrable facts in trying to make such a case. That Peres can stand in front of an Israeli crowd and characterize the soldiers who killed and injured a great number of people in the process of commandeering a ship filled with humanitarian aide as having done “nothing” in response to being “shot at” (which they were not) ought to indicate to any honest person that the Israeli “investigation” of the incident will be absolutely worthless, and that neither the American and Israeli governments can be trusted in this or any other matter. — Barrett Brown
