A UN Human Rights Council report, published this week, tells the truth of what happened on Monday 31st May 2010 when Israeli commandoes attacked the Gaza aid-ship the Mavi Marmara killing nine and wounding dozens.

It states:-
The Israeli blockade of Gaza is illegal due to the scale of the humanitarian crisis
People on the flotilla were genuinely committed to peace & humanitarianism
It was unlawful for Israel to intercept the Mavi Marmara on the high seas
There was no evidence that any firearms were taken on board the ship
There was no evidence of live fire being used by passengers
The IDF action was totally unnecessary and incredibly violent
Live ammunition was used from the helicopter prior to the descent of soldiers
Forensic evidence shows two passengers, Dogan & Bilgen, were shot at close range
Four passengers including a photographer, on a lower deck, were shot dead from the upper deck, while posing no threat to the Israeli forces.
Passengers used a white flag to indicate surrender but this had no effect on the firing
The seizure and retention of private property from the passengers was unlawful
It accused Israel of war crimes and breeches of International law
