CAPTAIN OF MAVI MARMARA TRIED TO KEEP IHH THUGS FROM BEING VIOLENT……..

The Turkish government was involved in this from the moment the plans for it were laid across its desk. They orchestrated the violence and set people in harms way knowing full well that some form of violence would ensue after the IDF came aboard the ship and were bodily attacked by its passengers. And the media and the politicians ate it up. KGS

‘Marmara’ captain: I opposed violence

The captain of the Mavi Marmara tried to convince dozens of IHH activists not to engage in violent clashes with the IDF two hours prior to the commando’s boarding of the ship, reported Army Radio on Friday.
The Gaza flotilla ship’s captain, Mehmet Tubal, said while being investigated in Israel that he and other members of the Mavi Marmara’s staff did all they could to prevent the activists from confronting soldiers, even throwing some of the IHH member’s metal pipes and chains overboard.
Another senior member of the ship’s staff said that 40 IHH activists took control of the Mavi Marmara and dictated the rest of the passengers’ movements.
The occurrence of violence aboard the Mavi Marmara may have been predetermined by the IHH ‘s purchase of the ship along with possible tacit approval from the Turkish government.
“[The] IHH acquired the Mavi Marmara ship from the AKP-run municipality of Istanbul. It is not conceivable that the IHH’s Gaza operation could have been carried out absent high-level government sanction,” wrote Svante Cornell, a Swedish security expert who specializes in Eurasia, in an article published on Monday.
A journalist on-board the Mavi Marmara, described as having good links with the heads of the Turkish government and Bulent Yildirim, head of the IHH, had stated, “The flotilla was organized with the support of the Turkish government and Prime Minister Erdogan gave the instructions for it to set sail. That was despite the fact that everyone knew it would never reach its destination,” according to the report.
