(Ynet News) Attila Somfalvi - Israel's representative to the Palmer Commission, Joseph Ciechanover, on Friday expressed reservations about some of the conclusions of the UN report on the flotilla incident. "Israel does not agree with the committee's depiction regarding the decision to board the ships, which they claim was 'excessive and unreasonable.'" "The committee was provided with evidence of repeated warnings given to the ships regarding the intent to board their decks." "The committee confirmed the fact that video clips showing the passengers wearing 'bullet-proof vests and holding iron rods, slingshots, chains and clubs' in fact supports reports of violence as told by IDF soldiers during the Israeli investigation. The committee also substantiated that 'two soldiers were shot,' 'three soldiers were caught, abused and were in danger,' while 'seven soldiers were injured by the passengers, some of them severely injured.'" "The Israeli soldiers clearly acted in self-defense and reacted reasonably, proportionally and in a restrained manner." 2011-09-05 00:00:00Full Article
