Protests

Condemnation are pouring in after this heinous attack by the  Israelis.

Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, officially declared a three-day state of mourning over Monday's deaths.

Turkey, Spain, Greece and Sweden have all summoned the Israeli ambassador's in their respective countries to protest against the deadly assault.

Protestors Thousands in number in Turky tried to storm the Israeli consulate in Istanbul soon after the news was flashed. The protesters were heard shouting "Damn Israel" as police blocked them.

"(The interception on the convoy) is unacceptable ... Israel will have to endure the consequences of this behaviour," the Turkish foreign ministry said in a statement.

Ismail Haniya, the Hamas leader in Gaza, has condemned the Israeli action as "barbaric".

Hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists, including a Nobel laureate and several European legislators, were with the flotilla, aiming to reach Gaza in defiance of an Israeli embargo.

But Israel had said it would not allow the flotilla to reach the Gaza Strip and vowed to stop the six ships from reaching the coastal Palestinian territory.

Israeli Perversion 

Before these, the Israeli Navy contacted the Mavi Marmara Captain, ordering him to identify himself and to say the ships destination.

A few moments later, two Israeli naval vessel came on both side of the flotilla keeping a distance. The flotilla was carrying some 10,000 tonnes of humanitarian aid for the inhabitants of GAZA. To avoid any confontration Mavi Marmara slowed down during the night and told all its passengers to were life jackets and asked them to keep low below the deck.

Al Jazeera’s Ayman Mohyeldin, reporting from Jerusalem, said the Israeli action was surprising.
"All the images being shown from the activists on board those ships show clearly that they were civilians and peaceful in nature, with medical supplies on board. So it will surprise many in the international community to learn what could have possibly led to this type of confrontation," he said.
 
Meanwhile, Israeli police have been put on a heightened state of alert across the country to prevent any civil disturbances.
