From the Flotilla – Description of Barbarians

I’ve been told the following letter that appeared on Tamar Yonah’s blog on Israel National News may not be factual and was meant more as an illustration of the barbaric attack on our soldiers on the Mavi Marmara. I don’t know if it is real or not. I know only the anger I experienced at watching so-called peace activists stab and beat our soldiers while the world accused us of inhumane actions. It was Israel (and Egypt) that offered to deliver the humanitarian aid they said they carried and it was the flotilla that refused. Facts continue to come out – about the nature of the sponsoring organizations (Free Gaza and IHH – both with strong terrorist connections). Despite knowing that the letter below may well be staged…I leave it on the blog here because what I wrote before I was told it was fake, remains true:

If it makes you sick to your stomach…good. If it makes you angry…better. If it makes you hope the Israeli navy sinks the next flotilla ships…mission accomplished!

*** If someone knows if this is authentic or not…please contact me…for now, it remains *** (and than you to chayal shabak for letting me know)

Hello Uncle Erwin,

This is Amir writing you after reading what you sent to my father, Eitan.

As you know, it was my unit and my friends who were on the ship. My commander was injured badly as a result of the “pacifists” violence. I want to tell you how he was injured so you could tell the story. It shows just how horrible and inhuman were the activists. My commander was the first soldier that rappelled down from the helicopter to the ship. When he touched ground, he got hit in the head with a pole and stabbed in the stomach with a knife.

When he drew out his secondary weapon-a handgun (his primary weapon was a regular paintball gun: “Tippman 98 custom”) he was shot in the leg. He managed to fire a single shot before he was tossed from the balcony by 4
Arab activists, to the lower deck (a 12 feet fall). He was then dragged by other activists to a room in the lower deck were he was stripped down by 2 activists.

They took off his vest, helmet and shirt, leaving him with only his pants and shoes on. When they finished they took a knife and expanded the wound he already had in his stomach. They cut his ab muscles horizontally and by hand spilled his guts out. When they finished they raised him up and walked him on the deck outside. He was conscious the whole time.

If you are asking yourself why they did all that, here comes the reason. They wanted to show the soldiers their commander’s body so they will be demoralized and scared. Luckily, when they walked him on the deck a soldier saw him and managed to shoot the activist that was walking him down the outside corridor. He shot him with a special non-lethal bullet that didn’t kill him.

My commander managed to jump from the deck to the water and swim to an army rescue boat (his guts still out of his body, and now in salty sea water). That was how he was saved. The activists that did this to him are alive, now in Turkey, and treated as heroes.

I’m sorry if I described this with too many details, but I thought it was necessary for the credibility. Please tell this story to anyone who will listen. I think that these days you are one of Israel’s best spokesman.

Thanks uncle Erwin, Shabbat Shalom!

Amir

  1. This e-mail is fake. Yishai from ARUTZ 7 does this every once in a while, where they write fake letters to explain a point….for example read the one yishai wrote supposedly from an arab, apologizing for the arab-israeli wars….

    yes our boys went through hell.
    But by no means is this “letter” a factual document of what actually went on.

  2. It may be staged, it may not – it is simply unverified – and seeing as we pride ourselves in dealing with verifiable facts and not insane conspiracies (like our enemies do), we have to reject it.
