The Images Israel Didnt Want Seen: Video & Photographs from Flotilla

The Images Israel Didn’t Want Seen: Video and Photographs from the Gaza-Bound Aid Flotilla





EXCLUSIVE: Watch a 16-minute version of the video above

In the wake of the commando raid that left nine dead, the Israeli government confiscated every recording and communication device it could
find–thus allowing the state to control what the world learned about
the assault.

Democracy Now! has interviewed some of the reporters, filmmakers, and photographers who managed to smuggle out some of their images.

The Sydney Morning Herald’s Paul McGeough and Kate Geraghty Were on the Challenger I–another one of the ships that was in the Freedom Flotilla along with the Mavi Marmara. Photographer Kate
Geraghty took hundreds of photographs, most of which were confiscated
by the IDF.

Watch the interview with Paul McGeough and Kate Geraghty and see a few of her photographs here.

Filmmaker and activist Iara Lee was one of the few Americans on-board the Mavi Marmara. Her equipment was confiscated but she managed to smuggle out
an hour’s worth of footage.

Watch a five minute cut of Lee’s footage here:

Israel has asked the UN to suspend attempts to organise an international inquiry into a deadly raid on a ship trying to break the blockade of Gaza.

Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak said any inquiry should be shelved because new attempts to breach the blockade were still being organised.

Nine pro-Palestinian activists died when Israeli soldiers stormed a Turkish aid ship in May.

The UN has called for an impartial and credible inquiry into the raid.

Israel has announced its own inquiry but some European governments have expressed scepticism about its credibility.

Mr Barak spoke after talks with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who has been trying to organise the international inquiry called for by the Security Council.
Lebanon warned

"We expressed our view that for the time being, as long as new flotillas are in preparation, it is probably better to leave it on the shelf for a certain time and we are moving ahead with our independent investigation, which we believe is clearly independent, reliable, credible and should be allowed to work," Mr Barak said.

He said one ship was preparing to leave Lebanon and he warned that Israel would hold Lebanon responsible for any resulting violence.

"About the coming flotilla, we've heard in the media that some organisation, probably backed by a terror organisation, (is) once again trying to send a vessel into Gaza," he said.

"We think it's a bit irresponsible to do that."

The Turkish ship Mavi Marmara had been part of a six-ship flotilla trying to bring aid to the Gaza strip when Israeli commandos boarded it on 31 May.

Israel insists its soldiers were attacked and opened fire in self defence, but activists deny this.

The Israeli siege is aimed at pressuring the Islamist Hamas movement, which runs the Gaza Strip. But its dire impact on Gaza's economy has drawn strong criticism.

Israel, under fierce international pressure, announced last Thursday that it would ease the land blockade on Gaza.

Israel will allow items unless they feature on a new list of banned goods.

The move will let in humanitarian aid, food and building supplies, Israel says.
