The Captain of Turkish Ship "Marmara" Testifies: "I Tried to Stop the Preparation Two Hours Before IDF Boarded"

Israel's Foreign Secretary's Department shared video of the captain of the Turkish ship "Marmara" testifying how the "peace activists" prepared to use violence with the soldiers enforcing the blockade. He claimed, "I tried to stop the preparations for violence, but with no success. I ordered the employees of the ship to collect all the iron rods (sticks)".

While the supporters of the "peace activists" keep insisting that the IDF initiated the violence on board, Israel is offering more proof of the real intentions of the so called "peace activists".

For the first time since the flotilla incident, the department of foreign affairs disclosed the testimony of the captain of the Turkish ship, who said that he saw with his own eyes the participants of the flotilla cutting rods from the deck and converting them to iron cudgels.

The captain, Muhamet Toobel, said the preparations to confront the IDF soldiers started two hours before the first soldier came on board.

Toobel noted that in the hours before the confrontation the crew felt the stress among the activists who were gathered on the main deck. After a quick check, he understood that members of the Turkish organization IHH were responsible for creating the iron clubs. This preparation worried him, and he tried to stop it, but to no avail.

"I asked the second (sub) captain what's going on and he told me 'they cut the iron rods and put them on the bridge'. When the soldiers came on the board they (the activists) ran to the bridge and grabbed the iron billy clubs.

"Some of the iron cudgels I saw, I took and threw to the sea and others I hid.
I was not aware that there were such huge amounts of iron that were converted to weapons", further testified the captain, a Turkish citizen.

When asked if the activists prepared in advance for the confrontation, he answered "yes, that is what I saw and that is also what I have been told by members of my crew."

The documents containing the complete investigation of the captain and video testimony of another activist from the flotilla were uploaded to the website of the terror department of Israel's intelligence agency and were to be used for countering propaganda around the world.
