Israeli Death Squads

Hooded member of the Israeli death squad.

When South-American junta's used professional murderers to kill political opponents the western mainstream media called them members of death squads. Now the 'Jewish state' does exactly the same the word targeted killings is used by my colleagues. Why so? This weekend the respected Canadian professor emeritus Michel Chossudovsky wrote the following:

The Israeli Navy Commando had prior knowledge of who was on the Turkish ship including where passengers were residing in terms of cabin layout. According to Swedish author Henning Mankell, who was on board the Marmara , "the Israeli forces attacked sleeping civilians."

These were targeted assassinations. Specific individuals were targeted. Journalists were targeted with a view to confiscating their audio and video recording equipment and tapes.

"We were witnesses to premeditated murders," said historian Mattias Gardell who was on the Mavi Marmara.

"...Asked about why activists on the Turkish ship had attacked the Israeli soldiers, Gardell stressed "it is not as if Israel is a police officer whom no human being has the legitimate right to defend him or herself against":

"If you are attacked by commando troops you of course must have the right to defend yourself ... Many people on this ship thought they were going to kill everyone. They were very frightened ... It's strange if people think one should not defend oneself. Should you just sit there and say: 'Kill me'?" he said."

“They even shot those who surrendered. Many of our friends saw this. They told me that there were handcuffed people who were shot,” (quoted by Press TV)


The Israeli Commando had an explicit order to kill.

Now, this explains why the Israeli commandos had hoods over their faces, the killers on this illegal mission tried to conceal their identity. They didn't want to be recognized, because otherwise theoreticcally they could be brought to justice outside of Israel.
