Credit: Reuters/Umit Bektas JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel began expelling all activists seized during a raid on an aid convoy sailing to Gaza that has drawn international outrage and officials on Wednesday vowed to prevent any other ships from reaching the coastal territory. World Israel had said it would deport 682 activists from more than 35 countries taken into custody after the maritime assault in which nine activists were killed on a Turkish vessel. About 200 activists have been transferred from a holding center to Israel's airport near Tel Aviv, a Prisons Service spokesman said, and 123 activists already passed through a border crossing into neighboring Jordan. The remaining activists would be released throughout the day, the spokesman said. Amid widespread anger at the Israeli action, the U.N. Security Council called for an impartial investigation of the deaths, and the Turkish prime minister demanded the immediate lifting of Israel's "inhumane" blockade of the Gaza Strip. The 700 activists detained when Israeli marines halted the six-ship convoy heading for the blockaded Palestinian enclave included Turks, Arabs, Americans, Asians and Europeans, among them two politicians and Swedish author Henning Mankell. In Turkey, a visibly angry Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan told parliamentary deputies on Tuesday: "Israel's behavior should definitely, definitely be punished." Erdogan's Islamist views and overtures to Iran and Israeli enemies are blamed by many in Israel for souring ties between the Jewish state and Turkey, once its closest Muslim ally. Israeli media reported that families of Israeli diplomats stationed in Turkey were being flown home due to security concerns. A foreign ministry spokesman would not comment on the report. The bloodshed also put Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's tense ties with U.S. President Barack Obama under further strain. Netanyahu canceled talks with Obama to fly home from Canada to handle the crisis. Obama, who has revived Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations through U.S.-mediated indirect talks, said he wanted the full facts soon. Netanyahu will convene his security cabinet to further debate what Israeli critics called a botched raid. Ministers have said the naval blockade of 1.5 million Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip would continue. Israel says the policy is meant to prevent arms and supplies that could be used to build military infrastructure from reaching Hamas Islamists who rule the territory. It says any humanitarian aid can be transferred into Gaza, but only after passing Israeli inspection. Asked how Israel plans to handle any other ships hoping to defy its naval blockade, Tzachi Hanegbi, head of the parliamentary Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee, said there will be no change in policy. "We cannot let them to blur in any way the red line Israel has set," Hanegbi told Israel Radio. "There is no option to let them in and help Hamas." The United Nations called for an impartial investigation of the deaths of the nine people, four of them Turks. The Israeli military said the deaths occurred when commandos stormed the Mavi Marmara, the cruise ship on which most of the violence occurred, from helicopters and dinghies and opened fire in what Netanyahu said was self-defense. The U.N. Security Council statement drew a sharp response from Israel, which said its foreign minister complained in a telephone call with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon that it was condemned unfairly for "defensive actions." Cairo announced the opening of its Rafah border crossing with Gaza, which is ruled by the Islamist group Hamas, an offshoot of Egypt's main opposition. Hamas requested the opening. Cairo, coordinating with Israel, has rarely opened the border since Hamas seized control of Gaza in 2007.

BlueTh613 Report As Abusive Jun 01, 2010 9:35pm EDT Plainly… a martyr is someone whose life was taken by another (usually the state) for a cause, while a terrorist is someone who took another’s life for a cause. Finally, a terrorist can never be (or become) a martyr. Never! You can’t kill a bunch of God’s (lost) creatures and say, “take me to paradise now.” Nobill4Earth Report As Abusive Jun 01, 2010 9:44pm EDT “The outcome was different to what we thought, but I must say that this was mainly because of the inappropriate behavior of the adversary we encountered.” I did not know that synonym for humanitarian aid group was adversary. If so, I fail to see what was so inappropriate concerning the humanitarians behavior considering that they were in international waters and were being boarded by a hostile force. Wolfsmile Report As Abusive Jun 01, 2010 9:44pm EDT Hang on a minute, i thought this blockade was an international backed resolution? Even if it wasn’t it’s still justified as it’s a fantastic way to bring illegal weapons through. I see this as a defensive operation as these weapon smugglers use any means of getting weapons through even if it meant using aid as a cover. marty70 Report As Abusive Jun 01, 2010 9:53pm EDT It’s easy to armchair quarterback, but if I was in a situation where I felt my life was threatened and I had a weapon, I would use it to defend myself. You cannot blame the Marines for that. With terrorists/combatants attacking Israel with rockets regularly, they must take action to defend themselves. The blockade is reasonable. If the international community is going to judge Israel for their methods, perhaps they should assist them in policing the instigators firing the rockets. In other words, become part of the problem instead of part of the problem. Graybeard50 Report As Abusive Jun 01, 2010 9:53pm EDT just more lies from israel, the only guns on the ships were the ones israelis brought in, closed case murdering civilians in international waters 1realamerican Report As Abusive Jun 01, 2010 9:53pm EDT well, we don’t know yet what went on in peoples heads as they decided to attack isreali marines -seeing they where pitching bare hands and handcombat weapons against machine guns- .. tenderness Report As Abusive Jun 01, 2010 10:01pm EDT “well, we don’t know yet what went on in peoples heads as they decided to attack isreali marines” You mean “Israeli Terrorists”.
