Mavi Marmara, Spreading the facts, Breaking the propaganda.

Besides dua'a the less we can do to help our muslims and voluntaries of Mavi Marmara is to spread the truth to the world.

The HASBARA(propaganda) which the Zionist say out loud to the world in their way to make the attack on Mavi Marmara a permissible act have to be uncovered. In 1992, Yuval Rutem an ambassador for Israel country explained that in the future Israel's hasbara efforts abroad would focus on media communications, saying, "You won't see those five-color brochures with arrows and diagrams explaining why the PLO is bad," he quiped. "A year from now, we'll be in the studios at 20/20, convincing the producer to present positive stories about us. American[sic] has moved to the electronic age. People don't read pamphlets, they watch TV." It is so crucial to letting people know the evidence for the end of this story no one can say that this attack is legal. That the Israel government have rights to attack.

FACT CHECK
Weapons On Board the Flotilla

Deputy Foreign Minister Daniel Ayalon said Monday morning that the pro-Palestinian activists on the flotilla sailing to the Gaza Strip were carrying weapons on board [Source]

RESPONSE: Nothing could be further from truth. The ships had discharged from Turkey after the government checked for weapons. Forget the Turkish claims; common sense dictates that symbolism of peaceful resistance that the flotilla mission was engaging in would not allow the presence of weapons. Finally, the video released by the IDF itself shows that those on board were using miscellaneous items to fight off the soldiers (pirates), not any arms.

“Allegations that there were weapons aboard the Turkish ship are baseless,” Fevzi Gulcan, the head of customs at the Mediterranean port city of Antalya, said on Monday. He added that passengers had been allowed to board the Mavi Marmara ship after they were searched and scanned via X-Ray, the Anatolia news agency reported.” [Source]

Israel Acted in Self-Defense

“Israel, though, insists its forces fired in self-defense. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says they had to “defend their lives, or they would have been killed.” [Source]

RESPONSE: Like all the “self-defense” claims that Israel as one of the world’s mightiest military power makes against kids with stones, this one doesn’t fly either. See the video below released by none other than the IDF. Let’s assume for argument’s sake, that the NGO participants on board the ship started the altercation. As an illustration of the hollowness of the self-defense argument, let’s assume my neighbor comes to my house and kicks and punches me. I am in full military fatigue, I have all the weapons, while my neighbor is employing his boots to the best of his ability. In return, I take him and his family out. What would the court say to my self-defense argument?

Furthermore, there are strict guidelines on the response by military and police in law enforcement situations. Under San Remo Manual on International Law Applicable to Armed Conflicts at Sea, 12 June 1994, Section II (Armed conflicts and the law of of self-defence). Note the condition of proportionality mentioned twice for emphasis:

3. The exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognized in Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations is subject to the conditions and limitations laid down in the Charter, and arising from general international law, including in particular the principles of necessity and proportionality.

4. The principles of necessity and proportionality apply equally to armed conflict at sea and require that the conduct of hostilities by a State should not exceed the degree and kind of force, not otherwise prohibited by the law of armed conflict, required to repel an armed attack against it and to restore its security.

May ALLAH gives peace and strengthen the imaan to the Gazans, the passengers of Mavi Marmara and to the muslims that been oppressed all over the world. May ALLAH gives the victory to the muslims. Can not denied the calamity that happened to the muslims world, to us now is due to our sins. The Prophet S.A.W. said,"Every child of Adam is a sinner, and the best of sinner is the one who repent to Allah S.W.T."

Allah says,"Then Adam received from his Lord Words" (2:37)It was reported that this Ayah is explained by Allah's statement , They said: "Our Lord! We have wronged ourselves. If You forgive us not , and bestow not upon us Your mercy, we shall certainly be of the losers. '' (7:23) as Mujahid, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Abu Al-` Aliyah, Ar-Rabi` bin Anas, Al-Hasan, Qatadah, Muhammad bin Ka` b Al-Qurazi, Kha lid bin Ma`dan, ` Ata' Al-Khurasani and ` Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam have stated.

As-Suddi said that Ibn ` Abbas commented on this ayah (2:37)"Adam said, `O Lord! Did You not created me with Your Own Hands' He said, ` Yes. ' He said, ` And blow life into me' He said, ` Yes. ' He said, ` And when I sneezed, You said, `May Allah grant you His mercy. ' Does not Your mercy precede Your anger' He was told, ` Yes. ' Adam said, ` And You destined me to commit this evil act ' He was told, ` Yes. ' He said, ` If I repent , will You send me back to Paradise' Allah said, ` Yes. '' Similar is reported from Al-` Awfi, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Sa`id bin Ma`bad, and Ibn `Abbas. Al-Hakim
recorded this Hadith in his Mustadrak from Ibn Jubayr, who narrated it from Ibn ` Abbas. Al-Hakim said, "Its chain is Sahih and they (Al-Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.''~ Tafseer Ibn Katseer~
