Gaza Flotilla Attack – The Truth

***FULL RESOLUTION VERSION AVAILABLE ON REEL NEWS 24 ***

Shocking footage combined with Turkish and British eye-witness testimonies prove that Israeli troops were guilty of murder and of breaking international law during the deadly attack on the Gaza Flotilla convoy in May 2010.
An Israeli government-appointed commission has concluded that Israel acted within international law and it’s soldiers acted in self-defense. THIS IS A WHITEWASH. Please share this film as much as you can so we can get the truth out.
