UN chief calls for investigation of Gaza aid flotilla raid

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said Monday he was "shocked" by a deadly Israeli raid on a Gaza-bound aid flotilla and demanded a full investigation.

"I am shocked by reports of killings and injuries of people on boats carrying supplies for Gaza," the UN chief said at a press conference following the opening in Uganda of a key conference on the International Criminal Court.

"I condemn this violence," Ban added, as an Israeli television channel reported that as many as 19 pro-Palestinian activists may have been killed in the Israeli military raid.

TVNL Comment: American politicians will come out in support of Israel on this (and every) incident. They will condemn the comments of the U.N. members and international community calling them anti-Semitic. The level of U.S.puppetry to Israel has reached such a painfully obvious and unforgivable level that no one in their right mind can say that Israel does not completely control our political establishment. There is no other explanation for their conduct and history of conduct, comments and actions when it comes to the hypocritical handling of affairs related to Israel.
