On May 30 Israeli naval forces surrounded and attacked ships of the Gaza Air Flotilla.

Though Israel attempted to confiscate all video taken by civilians aboard the Mavi Marmara, a ship in the flotilla, one video that that escaped their confiscation efforts shows clearly how unprovoked, aggressive, and ruthless was the Israeli attack.

They were not shooting civilians in self defense. They were shooting civilians, as they have for 60 years, because they can do so with impunity if such civilians are Palestinians or supporters of Palestinians.

The filming is amateurish and the scenes are quite bloody, but this 15-minute video should be viewed by all fair-minded Americans who support Israel unflinchingly.
