Turkish 'peace activists' visit Jihad gunmen

[shira]

The Viva Palestina 5 ship carrying "peace activists," which docked at the al-Arish port recently, brought along not only humanitarian aid to the residents of Gaza, but also enthusiastic Turks who took advantage of the opportunity to visit local Islamic Jihad members.

In pictures obtained by Ynet, the Turks are seen holding weapons and rocket launchers. While their prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan continues to blast Israel and demand an apology for "state terrorism," two of the guests put on the uniform of the al-Quds Brigades, the Islamic Jihad's military wing.

The pictures from the Turkish delegation's visit were put on the al-Quds Brigades website as part of the coverage of their visit. The guests' face was blurred, but shortly afterwards the photos were removed from the site, most likely for fear that the Turks would be hurt.

The Turkish guests praised the Palestinian activists, saying, "I am proud to be here with you, who have sacrificed so much for the sake of the Muslim nation. All of the Turkish people, as well as the Arabs and all Muslims, pray for your victory, support you and strengthen you."

1. Give me a break, Shira! What follows is a logical, point-by-point repudiation...

-- of your blatantly misleading post. To whit:

The Viva Palestina 5 ship carrying "peace activists,"

SHIRA: WHY DO YOU HAVE THE PHRASE PEACE ACTIVISTS IN QUOTES HERE? BIASED, MUCH?

which docked at the al-Arish port recently, brought along not only humanitarian aid to the residents of Gaza, but also enthusiastic Turks who took advantage of the opportunity to visit local Islamic Jihad members.

SHIRA: I AM SURE THEY WERE VISITING MANY, MANY ARABS THERE AND NOT JUST JIHAD MEMBERS.

In pictures obtained by Ynet, the Turks are seen holding weapons and rocket launchers. While their prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan continues to blast Israel and demand an apology for "state terrorism," two of the guests put on the uniform of the al-Quds Brigades, the Islamic Jihad's military wing.

SHIRA: HAVE YOU CHECKED LOCAL WEATHER CONDITIONS? MAYBE THEY WERE JUST COLD.

The pictures from the Turkish delegation's visit were put on the al-Quds Brigades website as part of the coverage of their visit. The guests' face was blurred,

SHIRA: IF THEIR FACES WERE BLURRED THEN WE DON'T KNOW WHO, EXACTLY, WAS APPEARING IN THOSE PICTURES, DO WE SHIRA?

but shortly afterwards the photos were removed from the site, most likely for fear that the Turks would be hurt.

The Turkish guests praised the Palestinian activists, saying, "I am proud to be here with you, who have sacrificed so much for the sake of the Muslim nation. All of the Turkish people, as well as the Arabs and all Muslims, pray for your victory, support you and strengthen you."

SHIRA: I ASSUME YOU HAVE AN AUDIO RECORDING OF THE TURKS SAYING THIS? ...NO? DIDN'T THINK SO.

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT. A POINT-BY-POINT REPUDIATION. Q.E.D.

ALSO: I SENT YOU A PERSONAL MESSAGE ON D.U YESTERDAY SO PLEASE PM ME WHEN YOU'VE RECEIVED IT. THANKS!
