Journalist Manolo Luppichini has written Netanyahu, Peres, Barak, Lieberman and Israel's ambassador in Italy over the matter.
Haaretz, 11 June 2010
An Italian journalist who was detained by the Israel Defense Forces following the raid on the Gaza-bound flotilla says his credit card was used to purchase items after it was confiscated by the Israeli authorities.
Manolo Luppichini was aboard the Sfintoni-8000, one of the smaller boats in the flotilla, when the naval commandos took it over. "Nobody was killed on our boat," Luppichini said in a telephone call from Italy. "We tried a little passive resistance around the boat's bridge. The soldiers fired paint balls and two people were hurt by stun [taser] guns."
After the Israel Navy took over the boat, he said, the soldiers searched every passenger and confiscated everything they found. "They took two cameras, microphones, a stand and other equipment from me and my photographer. They took one of the cameras as I was taking photographs," says Luppichini, who was working for Italy's RAI-3 television and an Italian-Swiss television channel when he was detained.
The range of the IDF's criminal behavior covers the entire spectrum. It becomes more sickening by the minute.
Wonder whether IDF is still the most ethical army in the world?
For a country founded on claims to have biblical rights to the land it is quite remarkable how cavalier its attitude is to at least three of the ten commandments:
- Thou shall not kill,
- Thou shall not steal, and
- Thou shall not give false witness.
We know that the Chosen Ones lost the Promised Land because they breached their covenant with God, but surely it has not helped that the country is made up of so few of Abraham's line and the great majority originates from Khazaria.
The Israeli steal whatever they can lay their hands on: Land, water, money in whatever form it comes including pesky credit cards. They have stolen even the entire bloody franchise called Israel!
