"Mr President, armed with various murder weapons, a club of self-styled peace activists set sail for Gaza. The Israeli Navy asked them to stop, but received the reply – and I quote – ‘Shut up, go back to Auschwitz’. Yet the soldiers came on board anyway, and were greeted ‘peacefully’ by ‘activists’ bearing metal pipes and throwing them overboard. The flotilla’s objective was not to convey humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip but to seek provocation of and violent confrontation with Israel.
The passengers on board the
who included activists from the Turkish Foundation for Human Rights and Freedoms and Humanitarian Relief (IHH), stated that the organisation had close links to Mr Erdoğan, Turkey’s prime minister, and that the government of the candidate country was involved in preparing the flotilla. Is that true, and what are you going to do with that information? Is it true that the Turkish organisation IHH present on the ship has links to Hamas? May I remind you that the EU still regards Hamas as a terrorist organisation? I should appreciate your answer to this. At the very least, the Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV) wants to see an independent investigation into Turkey’s role in the whole equation. What was the precise nature of the influence of Prime Minister Erdoğan and his associates? I should appreciate your response to this."@en1
