with on word? liar liar liar come to israel stand trial, then go to prison or: go to hell

He seems afraidof the Israelis and is lying.

Accidentally, and without meaning to, Ynet has delivered the guy the worst insult he had come across. No real Marine could stand being referred to as "ex-Marine" or "former Marine". Once a Marine, always a Marine. To become an "ex-", a Marine should either die, or be dishonorably discharged. If this guy really once was once among the few and the proud, he must be mad as hell for the insult rightfully added to a well-deserved injury. I LOL'ed.

Funny, that. If the Israeli soldiers were using live fire from the get go, why did the guy who admits to snatching weapons was treated with a paintball shot instead of a live bullet? It occurs to me that our Mr Semper Infidelis is not being particularly honest.

you have to realize the USA army don't dismiss from service nobody unless they retire meaning veteran 60 years old or not capable of doing their job due to mental situation, I reckon he was fired cause he begane to show signs of mental break down, shortly he married pali woman, sound like he say one thing and contradict it right away, he support hamas but belives in peace, that isn't exactly logic, since hamas do jihad aka holy war. but he is Amerikan in the hands of Muslims the same who did sucide bombings and killed hundreds of Israelis on bus stations houses street hotels restuarnts and ece.

Truth!!!

Why was then there was no violence on the other 5 boats ? why violence only accord on the boat he was on??

Reuters been caught literally red-handed again and this time it’s pictures of what happened after Israeli soldiers boarded the Gaza bound Mavi Marmara, and the ensuing violence on board. Several of its images were intentionally photo-shopped to avoid showing violence to Israel soldiers. I just spent 3 hours putting the page together so please circulate the link as much and as far as possible. http://www.ourchangingglobe.com/reuters-is-up-to-its-old-tricks-again-using-photoshop-to-obscure-and-pervert-the-truth/ Michael

O’Keefe was a human shield in Iraq who formally renounced his US citizenship in protest at coalition actins in 2001 & now has dual Irish/Palestinian citizenship. Married to a Palestinian his take on 'Palestinian' history is akin to that indoctrinated into the Arab youth by both Hamas, Fatah & co. This man speaks with a 'forked tongue' and his agenda is clear. He will stop at nothing in order to vilify Israel and to support the Palestinian cause. Having studied the Middle East for 40 years, and also served in the western military, I have analysed the content of his website and his story. He advocates the use of violence for 'self defence' but ridicules the Israelis for daring to defend themselves in any way form or fashion. His talk of a 'just peace' in the Middle East is one in which there are 'just Arabs' in the region. Read his blog/website and anyone with discernment can see the hatred and agenda of this person. I wouldn't trust the man as far as I could throw him... or as far as he would like to throw you.

This reads like a propaganda brochure drafted by Mr. O'Keefe. For instance, "He noted that in the 18 years since his service in the US Marines, he has not been involved in a single act of violence"? You can only "note" what can be demonstrated factually -- here, the verb ought to have been "claimed". And, seriously: the "possibility that he may never hug his wife and children again"? The "final note" in which "he said he loves all the world's peoples"? Please. A PR agency would not have better drafted this. What happened to dispassionate, critical reporting?

a. His story has changed from the immediate aftermath of the incident to the Al Jazeera interview - in Video 1 he says he disarmed TWO Israeli soldiers, one including having an 'Assault Rifle'. In Video 2 he says he disarmed only one sidearm pistol. Now, we've all seen the videos and we've seen the paintball guns. No bullet rounds have been found in the dead from an assault rifle and furthermore, I have not seen any claim of hearing assault rifles go off on the boat. This begs the question - what urged him to allege a second disarming and the 'assault rifle' ? b. He was only with 3 soldiers, the 3 that were kidnapped - there were plenty more commandos on that boat and unless he has some form of teleportation powers he could not have been in all places at once, thus how can he speak in such absolute terms that no Israelis were fired at? Indeed some of those Israeli commandos are lieing in hospital right now with bullet wounds. This begs the question - what urged him to allege that nobody on the boat shot at Israeli soldiers? c. He has alleged his non-violent mission and his opposition to violence - unless in self defense - but where was he when the extremists on board where chanting; 'Allah Akbar! Khaybar is destroyed. When we arrive in a people's square it is a bad morning for those who have been warned.'" and when several of the crew were video'd about their desires for martrydom? This begs the question - how can anybody in their right mind take him seriously? The list can go on for awhile, but i'll leave it for others to decide.

I hope those probe him read this because it will get them a nice head start. Video 1 (Near-immediate aftermath of the incident): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bixF3sF9BV4&NR=1 Video 2 (Later interviewed on Al Jazeera): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wx03ZTt7Zuk Danny Buchen A few things strike me as odd with this guy who seems to vilify Israel in its actions. a.

He has a hateful track record.

Seems he changed his tune after being advised to do so to strengthen public support. Perhaps it seemed more politically correct to insist he was on a peace mission and attacked, rathewr than expose himself as a violent Hamas supporter? http://gatewaypundit.firstthings.com/2010/06/terror-linked-leftist-nutcase-ken-okeefe-defends-attacking-israeli-soldiers-on-the-mavi-marmara-video/

Someone should tell this idiot that the world saw what happened when the first soldiers landed on his ship. He's either a blatant liar or he's lost his mind....I believe that he's the former..

I don't think it work that way you can turn straigt to gay and vice versa

Could it be that Hamas is a terrorist organization? Even Hamas refuses your aid. I believe you mean well, but are blind to the truths.

Why is it that only those who marry Palestinans become so brainwashed that they cant see the wood from the trees.? Or Can it be that the only way thaey can demonstrate their love to their spouse is to go one step further ? This poor tormented soul should be pittied and offered some psychiatric help to retrieve his own mind from the abyss

I am afraid that Jews around the world will be blamed for the Israel's cruel actions towards their opponents and should not deserve this. Jews are the smartest people around. They should advocate and support peace through justice for all this will lead the world towards global peace.

I guess he was kicked out of US Marine because of his poor personal hygiene

You're just sick. Shame on you.

The Yemen Government has an on-going blockade against a political rival. They are not allowing WATER, MEDICINE, FOOD, MEDIA to enter. Thousands of poeple will be dead within a couple of weeks! The Muslims murdered 9o co-religionists in a mosque, The world didn't flinch! Russia just shot dead 24 handcuffed Somali pirates. The world yawned and went back to sleep or about its 'important' affairs. Netanyahu, it is time to announce to the world that ALL vessels that try to go to Hamas are considered war-time enemies and will be bombed! Then, nobody can blame Israel. The policy is understood in advance. Enter at your own peril!

What did this man expect? If you took their weapons and disarmed them in a violent way its no wonder 9 activists died. This man became a hostage taker and in doing so he surrendered his civilian rights and became a combatant, as did his fellow terrorist sympathisers. I have no sympathy for him or his fellow 'activists' after the storm they have caused. If they wanted to be in the media spotlight and portray Israel in a bad light they certainly achieved that through the deaths of their friends. The boats were a political provocation, nothing to do with humanitarian aid.

So he "doesn't engage in acts of violence...". I see... But he cites "violence as acceptable in self-defence.." Therefore he engages in "acts of violence..." I see... Having served in the military I don't think it's possible to 'disarm a Marine' by 'tickling him under his armpits' - so O'Keefe must have engaged in an "act of violence..." He then condemns Israel's response to his "violence" as indeed he does to any Israeli acts of self defence such as trying to prevent the supply of missiles & other weapons to those who seek their destruction. No, I don't see, Mr. O'Keefe. I suppose O'Keefe was demonstrating against the violence in the Palestinian street during the thousands of missile attacks against Jewish civilians in Sderot, and no doubt he will be actively pursuing the creation of an aid flotilla for the starving millions in Darfur as a result of the relentless Islamic jihad in that region..... No, didn't think so.... I see clearly now. His agenda is clear & using the situation on the Turkish vessel to promote it is fair game, even if it does involve the odd 'fib' or two. It's not for nothing that Israel's experience of O'Keefe has resulted in him being described as an "extreme Israel-hating Hamas activist..." who undoubtedly sees the Hamas charter of eradicating Israel as being a form of "self defence" which justifies the genocide of another people by whatever violence they deem fit....

you blame Israel for other malice intention you just got rid off the responsibility of futur violant against jews. which kinda raicist, y on earth you try to hurt your own prophet offsprings is beyond me.

He is confusing paintball guns with "lethal force" and the videos clearly show that the first commando was clearly mobbed and naturally in a fight for his life until the Israelis got the upper hand. He married a Palestinian Arab...which means he married a pathalogical liar...an enemy of God!
