Defense Minister Barak: Flotilla Organizers Responsible for Activists Killed
(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff and Yaakov Lappin - Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said Monday that while he was sorry for lives lost, the organizers of the Gaza-bound protest flotilla were solely responsible for the outcome of the IDF raid earlier in the day. Barak said that the soldiers tried to disperse the activists aboard the ship peacefully but were forced to open fire to protect themselves.
