Israel Terrorism Information Center: Gaza Flotilla Activists Were Ready to Die As Martyrs

---- June 14, 2010 …. The Israel Intelligence and Terrorism
Information Center has told the Israel News Agency that
the Gaza Flotilla activists were ready to die as martyrs. Alongside the practical preparations, which included organizing the IHH operatives and getting cold weapons ready, the passengers also received religious and moral indoctrination from Muslim activists and clerics, among them the Arab-Israel sheikh Ra’ed Salah. The IITC states that in the visual material photographed by the activists during and after the voyage of the Gaza flotilla a number of operatives confirmed their desire to die as Islamic shaheeds. It is possible that some of such statements were boasts, rhetoric not necessarily meant to be acted on. However, in some cases, the statements apparently reflect a real intention to become shaheeds and some of the activists even said goodbye to their families. Shaza Barakat, one of the women passengers about the MV Mavi Marmara, interviewed by Al-Jazeera TV two days before the takeover of the ship, said: “Two good things will happen: either we’ll die as martyrs or we’ll reach Gaza”. One of the passengers interviewed during the voyage (possibly by Iran TV) said he wanted to die as an Islamic shaheed. To die as an Islamic shaheed confirms that many of the activists were Islamic terrorists engaged in an Islamic Jihad or Holy War against Jews and Christians. He said he had participated in two previous convoys and wanted to be a shaheed and twice he had been “unlucky.” He was not, he said, afraid of the Israeli cartridges. Hussein Urush, a senior IHH member and one of the organizers of the flotilla, interviewed by Al-Jazeera TV a few days after the takeover that all the passengers were prepared to die as martyrs and that the goal of the flotilla was to reach Gaza or die trying. The IITC states that they have additional statements, including TV, radio and print correspondents’ interviews. One such interview illustrated a friend of Ali Haydar Bengi, a 29-year old man from Turkey killed on the ship, said that Ali wanted to “die as a shaheed.” His wife said that for years he had prayed to Allah to let him die as a martyr.
