It concerns the 2010 Israeli attack on a humanitarian aid ship heading to the concentration camp known as Gaza Strip.  Nine unarmed civilians were killed.
The Israeli government is now pressuring the Spanish government to cancel the warrants.

World War 3: Israeli infantry launch another raid kill boy, more Israeli air strikes, Israel condemns U.S., Iran joins Egypt in condemning Israel

“The repeated assaults and aggressions of the Zionist regime’s military men against the defenseless Palestinian people in Gaza… are condemned as war crimes and inhuman acts.”-Iranian Foreign Ministry statement

On March 11, 2012, Israeli infantry raided east of the Jabaliya refugee camp in Gaza Strip, killing a 15 year old boy, and wounding another.

Also, late Sunday night, early Monday morning, it’s being reported that Israeli airforce F-16 Falcons/Vipers have bombed the same refugee camp, which is north of Gaza city, at least four times.  So far at least two people have been killed (a 65 year old man and his 35 year old daughter), and 25 people have been wounded, including nine children.

Israeli news sources are saying the Egyptian military government tried to warn Gaza that Israel was about to assassinate the secretary general of the Popular Resistance Committee (PRC).  That assassination turned out to be the precursor of this latest round of Israeli attacks on Gaza.

According to the Israeli media, PRC members were able to capture informants who confirmed to Hamas officials that they were paid by Israel to spy on PRC leaders.  The informants also confirmed that Egypt tried to warn of the assassination plot by Israel, the only problem is that the Egyptians gave that warning to the informants who were working for Israel.

Israeli media also reporting that at least 40 rockets have been launched from Gaza, Sunday night.  Several were intercepted over the city of Ashkelon.  Most of the rockets are being launched by Islamic Jihad and the Popular Resistance Committee.  Allegedly, Hamas has the most rockets but seems to be holding back.

Arrogant Israeli leaders are calling on the United Nations to condemn the puny rocket attacks from Gaza, so far only a handful of Israelis have been wounded.  Yet Israeli leaders see no problem with the fact they continue to kill hundreds of Palestinians every year!!!

Even more arrogant, Israeli politicians have condemned the Obama Administration’s call for cease fire: “I think that every American should be ashamed of such a statement coming from the administration.”-Danny Danon, deputy speaker of Israel’s Knesset (parliament)

Also, Turkey has vowed to take action at the International Court of Justice in the Hague to challenge Tel Aviv’s four-year siege of Gaza, Palestine.

World War 3: Israel detains and humuliates Turkish tourists, Turkey responds in kind

On September 4, Israeli security forces detained a group of Turkish tourists, and made them strip naked: “…they took us into changing rooms. (We) took off our clothes and shoes. (They) searched our bodies with their hands and then with a detector.”-Arif Cinar, Turkish citizen

On September 5, Turkey responded in kind by detaining Israeli tourists: “They were taken to separate rooms to be questioned. Their passports were taken. After about an hour and a half of waiting, they were questioned one by one and after that they got their passports back and then they were free to go.”-Ilana Stein, Israeli Foreign Ministry

The amazing thing is that Israeli officials admit they have been intentionally humiliating Turkish tourist who pass through the Ben Gurion airport, at least for the past year.

Tensions between Israel and Turkey have worsened ever since the 2010 killing of nine Turkish peace activists by Israeli forces.  Turkey is demanding an apology from Israel, as well as a lifting of the Israeli blockade of Gaza.  Of course Israel refuses.

Israel bombs Gaza, close to Egyptian border

August 24, a vehicle in the town of Rafah, near the Egyptian border was hit by an Israeli missile.  One man killed, one injured.

This comes after Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak, said: “This is a delicate situation and there is a real risk of endangering the (1979 Egyptian-Israeli) peace treaty, which is a precious strategic asset for Israel.”

A ceasefire was agreed to, but only between Hamas and Israel.  Hamas does not control all of Gaza.  Rocket attacks against Israel, since the cease fire, were done by rivals to Hamas.  The man killed by Israel today, is said to be a member of Islamic Jihad, not Hamas.

It is now known that the August 18 attacks on Israeli tour buses were not done by Hamas, but by a group known as Popular Resistance Committees.  Earlier Israel, and most of the western media, blamed Hamas for the tour bus attacks.

Israel violates 1979 peace treaty with Egypt, Egypt demands Israel stop bombing Gaza

International observers, tasked with the job of observing compliance with the 1979 peace treaty, between Israel and Egypt, say Israel has violated that treaty.

The 1979 peace treaty was mediated by the United States, and requires that Egypt and Israel do not attack each other.  So far, after all these decades, Egypt has kept its promise.  But now MFO (Multinational Force and Observer) officials say Israel broke the treaty.

MFO officials say not only did Israel attack Egyptian forces, but Israeli forces crossed into Egypt and fired on Egyptian forces from within Egyptian territory.

In related breaking news Egypt just issued a demand that Israel stop bombing the Palestinian territory know as Gaza:  “Egypt denounces the use of force against civilians in any circumstance and strongly advises Israel to immediately stop its military operations against Gaza.”
