New Gaza Flotilla Footage Being Released Today
A tiny bit of the footage smuggled out of the Gaza flotilla-pretty much everyone on board (who wasn’t shot!) was recording, but the equipment and tapes were seized by the Israelis-is being presented today in a press conference at the UN. There’s bits of it showing today on Democracy Now: if you fast-forward to 39:12 in, you can hear the woman on board clearly announcing to the boarding party that people have been injured, that everyone on board is a civilian, that “all the passengers are sitting down,” and that the people boarding should not “use violence against the civilians.”
