| Israel released the names on Sunday of the Turkish passengers aboard the Marvi Marmara who it claims have been involved in terror activities. Among those named was Fatima Mohammadi (31), from Iran, who lives in the US and is active in the group Viva Palestine. Mahmadi tried to bring electronic components into the Gaza Strip, which Israel has forbidden. Ken O'Keefe was also accused by the IDF of having ties to terror. O'Keefe (41), who holds US and British citizenship, was described by the IDF as an “extreme Israel-hating activist, Hamas activist. His aim was to reach Gaza for training and to set up commando units for Hamas.' There were also two Turks on the list released by the IDF. Hassan Aynsey (28), a member of a Turkish charity association, regularly transfers funds to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, the IDF claimed. Hussein Orush, from the Turkish IHH organization, intended to assist al-Qaeda activists into the Strip via Turkey. Ahmed Omemun (51) from Morocco, who also has French citizenship, is a Hamas activist, according to the IDF. |

| #2 Israel should go before the UN and read international law in regards to a blockade and then state they reserve the right to sink any further ships that run the blockade and will consider such incursions as acts of war according to that international law. State the law in every statement and make it clear to some of the dimmer folks which side is rewriting the law. Won't work for most but might sink in for some politicians who will not appreciate the rewriting of international law for this narrow purpose. |
