So just as the IDF Spokesperson said: "The overtaking of the Al-Awda ship was carried out without violence and without exceptional events".
And indeed, everything was as usual -
They slammed Herman the captain's head against the wall again and again while threatening to take him to the ship's belly and finish him off when no one is watching.
A fist in the face of Arne Birge the old mechanic.
And the finest tradition: Electric shocks. This time we wore life vests of the type that covers the chest well. But don't worry, the brave naval commando combatants just electrocuted [Tasered] Charlie, the first officer, in his head. And more electric shocks to Juergen the cook and to 60 year old Mike, a chair of a trade union and a human rights activist from New Zealand.
But at the same time, things were done with a kind of psychotic tenderness.
Like in a strange play, soldiers (men and women) with weapons and vests packed with munitions and personal cameras, but wearing white shirts with the national flag embroidered in a shiny blue color and wearing white masks on their faces. Last time it was all-black.
And let's keep in mind: Had we been Gazan fishermen or children approaching the Gaza fence, they could have simply put a bullet in the head of each of us and that's it.
The IDF Attorney unit has also confirmed that that there's no need for an investigation.
