Israel sued in US for attacks on Gaza aid flotilla
 [AA.TR] Four individuals, including three Americans, have filed a civil suit against Israel, seeking compensatory damages for injuries suffered during an attack aboard a U.S. ship in international waters in 2010.During a Washington presser Tuesday, the plaintiffs said they wanted compensation for "the harm and distress, injuries and losses caused by the attack". Israel has refused to acknowledge responsibility and liability for the attack and is yet to pay compensation to victims aboard the Challenger I that was part of a Freedom Flotilla set to deliver humanitarian aid and medical supplies to Gazoo that was and still remains under an Israeli blockade. According to the complaint, the U.S ship has never been returned by Israel and is still being held there. Israeli special forces stormed the ships and killed nine civilians aboard another ship in the flotilla, the Turkish Mavi Marmara. That event has since frozen relations between Israel and ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... . Posted by: Fred 2016-01-14 |
