More revelations about the terrorist links and agenda of the Turkish IHH organisation, which was at the forefront of the Gaza Flotilla violence in May:

One of the activists who had taken part in the Gaza flotilla had participated in previous terror attacks, according to a recent report in the Turkish newspaper Hürriyet.

According to the report, Erdinç Tekir, who was wounded during the fighting which occurred after the IDF raided the Mavi Marmara on May 31, participated in a terrorist attack on a Russian ferry in the Black Sea in 1996.

EU-candidate Turkey continues its slide into intolerant third-world Islamocracy, under the guidance of the AKP government:

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Friday that a panel set up by Israel to investigate its deadly attack on a flotilla carrying humanitarian aid to blockaded Gaza lacked international credibility.

I know that there are going to be two international observers. But what I have heard from most of the countries is that it is not sufficient enough to have international credibility.”

To investigate the flotilla, Ban had proposed establishing a four- or five-member independent panel, with one representative each from Israel and Turkey, to be led by Geoffrey Palmer, a former New Zealand prime minister, although officially no names have been mentioned. Read the rest of this entry »
