Ken O'Keefe Arriving in Istanbul 04.06.2010
"I said this straight to Israeli agents, probably of Mossad or Shin Bet, and I say it again now, on the morning of the attack I was directly involved in the disarming of two Israeli Commandos. This was a forcible, non-negotiable, separation of weapons from commandos who had already murdered two brothers that I had seen that day.
One brother with a bullet entering dead center in his forehead, in what appeared to be an execution. I knew the commandos were murdering when I removed a 9mm pistol from one of them. I had that gun in my hands and as an ex-US Marine with training in the use of guns it was completely within my power to use that gun on the commando who may have been the murderer of one of my brothers. But that is not what I, nor any other defender of the ship did. I took that weapon away, removed the bullets, proper lead bullets, separated them from the weapon and hid the gun."

The stuff of heros.....A must read!
<span>"We were abused in just about every way imaginable and I myself was beaten and choked to the point of blacking out… and I was beaten again while in my cell. In all this what I saw more than anything else were cowards… and yet I also see my brothers. Because no matter how vile and wrong the Israeli agents and government are, they are still my brothers and sisters and for now I only have pity for them. Because they are relinquishing the most precious thing a human being has, their humanity."</span>
ReplyDeleteIn conclusion; I would like to challenge every endorser of Gandhi, every person who thinks they understand him, who acknowledges him as one of the great souls of our time (which is just about every western leader), I challenge you in the form of a question. Please explain how we, the defenders of the Mavri Mamarra, are not the modern example of Gandhi’s essence? But first read the words of Gandhi himself.
ReplyDelete<span>" I do believe that, where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence.... I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honour than that she should, in a cowardly manner, become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonour." </span>

ReplyDeleteKen O'keef. I salute your courage and convictions.
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing this 3 weeks ago. It was one of those moments when one would feel like committing murder. The guy and his dad were followed and harassed to no end by the camera crew pushed to the extreme limits of human ability to patience. They would tell the crew to leave them alone but they wouldn't relent and keep taunting and provoking them in what loos like a deliberate manoeuvre in order to get an aggressive response. That's obviously what they were begging for but could not get and in frustration they threw the "fucking terrorist" as a last resort and got what they wanted. But not quite..No one in his right mind would see that "journalist" as anything but an appointed thug..It sure backfired.
ReplyDeleteSome commandos !
ReplyDeleteUnarmed person manges to disarms two of the elite thugs, another myth is shattered.
