There's been some commentary about the earlier audio released by the IDF (Gaza Flotilla to Israeli Navy: 'Shut Up, Go Back to Auschwitz'). It was pretty clearly a montage and I mentioned that in the initial post, though the IDF made a mistake in labeling it as all being from the Marvi Marmara which I think it's pretty clear it's not. They have now released a version with less material cut out (more boring stuff). I'm told there's even much more than this that they will be releasing, but this is what fits on YouTube:
Update: The IDF has issued its own clarification of the audio issue.
In Palestine a mass genocide is happening and the international community is doing nothing to stop it. Israel is a terrorist nation, killing innocent children; you need only compare the death rates of the two countries. A blockade is placed on Palestine; they wont even allow brick and concrete to come in; if this is not strategic genocide what is? It is disgusting that no one is trying to stop what is happening. These days countries like America and Israel can enter unjustified wars and kill innocent people, without consequence. Surely countries such as these should be taken the court of human rights; I see no difference between former President George Bush and Robert Gabriel Mugabe. The former is jus laced with Western approval and false democracy.
You are a jew killer. and thick as well.
I am Jewish!! You need to open your eyes and back-up your thoughts and opinions with some valid facts, so I can engage in some sort of intellectual debate with you. Thanks
OK James.
Facts: the lifespan in Gaza is 73.68 years, which is better than Turkey or Egypt or Brazil and a host of other countries around the world (not just in the Middle East,) and in fact some of them like Brazil and Thailand could well be considered part of the so-called "First World" and some of them are in Europe.
Population increase in Gaza: at present rate, is expected to double in 21 years http://www.thearynews.com/english/newsdetail.asp?nid=22070
Gaza birth rate and other interesting demographic information:

This can all be cross-checked with other sources.
Now - compare this information with that of many other nations including neighboring Egypt but also Brazil and some European states and Gaza doesn't look like a "genocide."
Rwanda was a genocide. The extermination of Jews in Europe was a genocide. The murder of 1.5 million Armenians by the Turks was a genocide.
So why are you promoting this nonsense?
Meanwhile, this is for real - an estimated 100,000 people (ethnic Uzbeks) have fled to the borders in Kyrgyzstan and many hundreds have been brutalized, raped and killed:

And, if you're feeling sorry for people, check out the life-expectancy in Angola, Afghanistan, Mozambique, Nigeria...
Where is your aid flotilla? Where is the propaganda? Do these people have their own UN agency?
For that matter who gets the most aid per person in the world?

And which nation directly ships aid to Gaza and supplies it with power? And which nation treats thousands of people in its hospitals?
Three guesses.
