Do Israeli soldiers shoot to kill people carrying sharp objects? Dr. Mahatir Mohammad.

June 01, 2010 (Hamsayeh.Net) - Anger is pouring from four corners of the world after Israeli trained cowards attacked ships carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza early Monday morning. 700 ordinary people many of them highly educated academics and professionals were sailing toward Gaza Strip when all of a sudden US supported IDF big babies wielding guns used in war-zones attacked six ships.

These so-called troops of the Israeli Defense Forces are at home with this type of cowardice missions against innocent bystanders and Palestinian kids. According to IDF this is called war. It as if IDF soldiers have never seen a real war. The last serious battle IDF faced was against Lebanese Hezbollah's mighty combatants in 2006 when IDF troops, feeling how serious a real war is, had two legs, borrowed another one and escaped from the war-zone without delay.

According to Tel-Aviv, Gaza Strip, where one and half million people are trapped without basics needs for nearly two years, is considered a war-zone. Also according to IDF sharp objects constitute war weapons.

Following is what Dr. Mahatir Mohammad the former Malaysian Prime from 1981 to 2003 had to say on his weblog at Dr. Mahathir Mohamad about Israeli crimes against humanity.

1. I am horrified at the violence employed by Israel to stop the ships from carrying humanitarian supplies to Gaza (read here). The ships are in international waters, yet the arrogant Israelis do not care to respect international laws and convention.

2. The claim that the people on the ships are carrying sharp objects is ridiculous. Are they going to fight the well armed Israeli soldiers with sharp objects?

3. Do Israeli soldiers shoot to kill people carrying sharp objects? The act is most cowardly and deserving only of brutes, not civilised people.

4. What kind of world are we living in when it allows a rogue state to use violence and killings against unarmed people on a mission of charity.
