Pirates of Med sell loot Aug 19, 2010
The mask of the so-called 'most ethical army in the world' is slipping - first the facebook photos, now this.

Oh dear, expect more stories from ancient history from the fanbois and loons just to show that the Moooslims are the bad guys :mrgreen:

But, why is anyone surprised that the Pirates stole the looted treasure? What is surprising is that they showed as much skill in fencing the loot as they did in storming the ship! :shock:

IDF soldiers suspected of theft from Gaza flotilla ship

At least four soldiers being detained on suspicion of stealing and selling laptops belonging to activists aboard the Mavi Marmara ship, Israeli media report.

Military Police arrested an Israel Defense Forces officer suspected of stealing laptop computers from activists aboard the Gaza-bound aid ship raided by Israeli commandos in May and selling them to other officers.

The officer allegedly sold the computers to a friend, who in turn sold them to friends of his. Three officers who are suspected of having bought the computers have also been detained for questioning.

The officer, who holds the rank of first lieutenant, allegedly stole between four and six computers from activists on the Mavi Marmara, which was trying to break the naval blockade on the Gaza Strip when Israel raided it, leaving nine Turkish activists dead.

Israel Navy commandos boarded six ships that made up the Gaza-bound flotilla on May 31, in an effort to prevent them from breaking through an Israeli marine blockade and reaching Gaza.

The naval commandos who boarded the sixth ship - the Mavi Marmara - were met with violence and nine Turkish activists were killed in the subsequent clashes.

News of the officers' arrests was first reported by Ynet, which quoted a high-ranking officer who said, "The investigation has just begun, but as it appears now it will prove embarrassing and shameful. These are soldiers who don't understand what their uniform represents."

Israel Radio reported that cellular phones were also stolen from the activists.

The IDF Spokesman’s Office said the Military Police had opened an investigation, but said it remains unclear if the computers in question were indeed stolen from the Mavi Marmara activists.

In June, an Italian journalist who was detained by the IDF following the raid on the Gaza-bound flotilla says his credit card was used to purchase items after it was confiscated by the Israeli authorities.

Interesting that young eh's response to this story about the piracy is that Hamas interior ministry officials have confiscated medical equipment from a clinic that was closed. :shock:

Leaving aside the obvious flaw in the loon argument, let's see what the loon logic is:

Either Hamas is acting like the 'most moral army' or the IDF is as bad as Hamas.

As well as being another classic 'what aboutery' non-argument, it also opens up the loons to all the stealing that the Israeli state has undertaken - not least that of Palestinian land! Loons can't really think ahead, can they?!! :lol:

Cheers,
