No surprise here, except to the terminally blinkered. The people on the “humanitarian” Mavi Marmara flotilla were genocidal Jew-hating jihadis, as you can see in the above video: they were chanting a jihad war cry recalling Muhammad’s massacre of the Jews of Arabia: “Khybar, Khybar, O Jews, the army of Muhammad will return.” See the photos here of their weapons. But the Turks recast these jihadis as victims of supposedly unwarranted Israeli aggression, and even prevailed upon Obama to pressure the Israelis to apologize, which they never should have done. Only now is the full truth coming out.
“Australian on Mavi Marmara charged with aiding Syrian terrorist,” by Benjamin Weinthal, Jerusalem Post, April 4, 2021:
Counterterrorism agents in Australia arrested Ahmed Luqman Talib, an alleged jihadi facilitator who was on board the Turkish vessel Mavi Marmara in 2010, in late March for reportedly aiding a Syrian terrorist.
Talib “was accused of helping a terrorist arrange to travel to Syria to fight against government forces in 2013,” according to a report in the Brisbane Times.
According to The Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council (AIJAC), Talib, his wife and sister “were the only Australians on board” the Mavi Marmara – a Turkish vessel operated by the Islamic organization IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation.
The IHH caused international violence on the high seas when it sought to break Israel’s legal naval blockade of the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip in 2010. The IHH has links to the US and EU-designated terrorist organization Hamas.
Talib is alleged to have provided support to Jabhat al-Nusra (also known as Jabhat Fatah al-Sham) – the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda, an entity proscribed as a terrorist organization by the Australian government.
The website of the governmental Australian National Security wrote that “Jabhat Fatah al-Sham adheres to a violent extremist ideology that is anti-Western, and encourages violence as a key element of pursuing its goals. The group ultimately aims to overthrow the Syrian regime and create a Salafist-oriented Islamist state in Syria under its own rule.”…
Former US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said, “Talib has had financial dealings in a number of countries and is involved in dealing gemstones, which provide him with the ability to move funds internationally for the benefit of al-Qa’ida [al-Qaeda]. Talib conducts business around the world, including in Brazil, Colombia, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Turkey and the Gulf.”
Talib’s jihadi activity caused a stir in 2010. Radical Islamists on board of the Mavi Marmara resisted Israeli commandos who intercepted the vessel. Passengers used knives, clubs and axes against the Israeli soldiers, resulting in the death of nine passengers and nine injured Israeli commandoes.
AIJAC wrote on its website that ”Upon their return to Australia, Talib and his sister undertook a speaking tour where they condemned Israel and the IDF in the strongest terms, calling the response a ‘slaughter.’”
Talib’s sister, Maryam Luqman Talib, said of her brother’s alleged injuries aboard the Mavi Marmara: “I think it is important to know this, so that people understand the true nature of the Zionist regime. These people are not human! There is no humanity in them!”
She added that “If they really think we are terrorists, I have a message to them: I am proud to put terror in the heart of the Zionist regime.”
AIJAC noted in its report: “A decade after the Mavi Marmara incident, Talib and the Melbourne-based gemstone company he owns was designated by the US Treasury for providing material assistance to al-Qaeda.”

The intention of the flotilla was clearly GENOCIDAL as expressed in their vicious chant quoted above!
Genocidists ALWAYS reveal themselves one way or another. Genocide is cherished, deeply-held teaching at the heart of Islam, even though many Muslims even are not aware of this. Turkey killed 3 million of its Christian citizens between 1890 and 1925. Pakistan also killed about 3 million Bengali Hindus in 1971.
Genocide is normative Islam, rather than an aberration. Islam’s source texts defend and promote genocide.

Israel should have sent the whole lot to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea for it’s act of war against the state of Israel.
Given that these ships were breaking a lawful international blockade designed to prevent the resupply of terrorists, then yeah, sink the lot of them.
