Panorama exhibited footage taken from the Mavi Marmara showing IHH head Bülent Yildirim saying the following:Naturally, the Beeb's rare honesty provoked ethics complaints from pro-Palestinian groups annoyed that the network was less anti-Israel than usual.We’re going to defeat the Israeli commandoes--we’re declaring it now. If you bring your soldiers here, we will throw you off the ship and you’ll be humiliated in front of the whole world.Corbin:You said that if they board the ship you would throw them into the sea. Isn’t that a provocation, saying that to your supporters on the ship?Yildirim:I spoke correctly there. I spoke beautifully. I watched it again afterwards. Israel stole these images from us, but we’re not denying it. If we organised another boat, and Israel attempted to illegally invade it, we’d use our right to passive resistance. We’d throw them into the sea.

So Gandhi's "passive resistance" now means clubbing people with metal pipes and throwing them into the ocean?
See, THIS is why we can't let anyone (including our own Lefty Liberal-Progressives) start sneaking new meanings into previously well-defined words (for instance, "marriage".) You let 'em hijack the language and it becomes tacit permission to corrupt the underpinnings of rational thought.
> use our right to passive resistance. We’d throw them into the sea.
"Passive Resistance"?
I do not think this term means what you think it means.
Hey, word verif is "shatt". How appropo.
When "passive resistance" equals "riot," no wonder the Palestinian's don't know how to negotiate a peace agreement
The world needs a snopes.com in Arabic.
