If you find at least one you will be lucky - the footage may be released in a few days but the point is that I have had this footage for 2 days now and yet news agencies do not have this, or they do but they choose not to show it - either way it is not right and the minds of people have already been corrupted by one sided propaganda!
Israel was allowing the aid to go through, in fact all the aid is ready to be sent to Gaza now, so all of this was for nothing - The only requirement which Israel had in this was that the aid be delivered via Ashdod port in Israel as per protocols and then it would be delivered to Gaza after inspection. If they complied then the Navy would have no reason to board their ships at all but they didnt, they insisted on breaking the law which allowed the Navy to board their ship in the first place to be searched. They choose words like raid as it sounds negative, it was a search is all but upon boarding they were instantly attacked. How the rest of the world doesnt see this I dont know.
The world is continuously led to believe that all Jews hate all Muslims, Arabs or Palestinians, however this is not the truth at all, the mere fact that many Jews in other countries have Muslim friends or the fact that Arabs living inside Israel have a very good life and reap the same benefits we do...the world thinks that we go around bullying Arabs and Muslims wherever they are and this again is not true... If you came to visit Israel you would see that things are not what they seem from the outside -
Most people in Israel want peace and do not want anyone to die, i would hope that most people in the West Bank want the same but the problem is that their leaders play these dangerous games with everyones lives and its very difficult to get people to separate their opinions of The People versus The Government -
Everyone wants the Palestinian people to be free of whatever is holding them back but the same goes for the Israeli people, they also want to be free from whatever is holding them back, so its a fine line to draw as both have the right to be free and live in peace... The problem is that people forget all these things and focus on the NOW only, instead of taking a step back to look at the bigger picture...
The Palestinian people of the 19th and 20th century were all refugees from other Arab countries like Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iran and Saudi Arabia, they were not indigenous to this specific land up until the formation of the State of Israel where they declared a Palestinian state. Before the formation of the State of Israel, everyone living here was regarded as Palestinian but in actual fact there is no such country, race, culture as a Palestinian, you even had Palestinian Jews before the State was declared (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_Jew)...
Israel is the only country that has not banished or kicked out the Palestinian people that we know today as Palestinians, this is what the other Arab countries did to them, they persecuted them in the first place. The problem now is that neither side want to live together in peace and sadly they probably never will with this type of thinking from both sides...
Its a very difficult situation to sort out and Israelis are the just the unlucky ones in this situation to have all the blame put on them for things that are not even true in the first place. If the British were still ruling here today then it would be the British who would be the "aggressor" and so on...
Israel has tried many times to make peace and to help the Palestinians but have failed over and over due to their ruling powers and not the people themselves - The powers that be have turned good people into hate ridden war mongering people, I do not blame the people of their state, I only blame their leaders - In Israel we do not have the same mentality to be war mongers, however we do have many Jewish fundamentalists that are as deluded as a Muslim or Christian fundamentalist but we cannot blame an entire State for the actions of others. Israel's government is very aware of this and want nothing more than to free the Palestinian people of their fundamentalist war mongers who are preventing them from growing in many ways...
I do hope that one day we will all get to witness in our lifetime some form of resolution without aggression, hate, anger, lies etc...
