Saints In Sodom? Activists Attempted to Shield Captured Commandos On Mavi
Marmara
Dr. Aaron Lerner Date: 4 June 2010

Yediot Ahronot Correspondent Itamar Eichner reported in today’s edition that
the IDF has the following images on film were recovered from cameras (of
photographers and security cameras on the boat) on the Mavi Marmara taken in
the area that the captured Israeli commandos were held before Israeli forces
recovered them:

1. A woman yelling in English with a heavy Arabic accent at Turks bearing
knives and clubs to stop beating the soldiers.

2..A man who appears to be an Arab trying to push back the rioting masses
with a club in his hand.

3. Europeans trying to protect the soldiers.

It remains unclear how the and when this material will be released.

On the one hand, publicizing the activity of the “saints” will serve to
highlight that even in the eyes of “normal” people on the boat, the
activities of the terror cells on the Mavi Marmara were not acceptable.

On the other hand, releasing such material could expose the “saints” to
retribution.

Eichner reports that the films of the incident include images of the
commandos stripped naked, being beaten brutally and calling for help.
