No Israeli soldier was  shot&#8230; as members on board the Mavi Marmara tried to defend themselves&#8230;  something every one of us would have done if our family, friends, ship or home  was attacked by masked armed intruders.<\/p>\n<p>No Israeli soldier was killed.  The few who were injured were treated by Turkish doctors, then sent back to  their unit.<\/p>\n<p>The terrorists on board that ship as well as the other five  ships, (where passengers were beaten, tied up, tear gassed and wounded), worked  for the Israeli navy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<br \/>\nGreta Berlin, Co-Founder<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/witnessgaza.com\/\">witnessgaza.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.freegaza.org\/\">www.freegaza.org<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/freegaza\">http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/freegaza<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greta Berlin, Co-Founder witnessgaza.com www.freegaza.org As we get ready to challenge Israel&#8217;s illegal blockade of Gaza once more, we would ask you to remember the nine men murdered in cold blood by Israeli commandos, who came down from helicopters firing &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/?p=14416\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14416","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pdXTf-3Kw","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14416","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14416"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14416\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14419,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14416\/revisions\/14419"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14416"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14416"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14416"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
