ANKARA, TURKEY (Scooter's Report Exclusive) - Just days after a violent and controversial raid that killed nine peace activists and injured many more, I met with Ahfouk Miselph, an activist who was on board one of the ships, to find out what really happened:
SR: You were aboard the lead ship, what did you experience?
Ahfouk: Around 2:00 AM we were on deck having a cocktail party and putting away some pipes and knives and stuff when all of a sudden someone yelled "Jews! Jews!"
SR: Where were the Israelis at this point?
Ahfouk: Falling out of the sky! It was literally raining Jews! I nearly crapped my pants - I've never seen so many Jews falling from the sky, ever.
SR: Some of your people claim they were shooting at you as they descended. Were they shooting?
Ahfouk: I'm pretty sure they were screaming. I think when they got close and saw we were all awake and carrying knives and clubs and stuff like that, they freaked out a little. I saw one guy go back up the rope.
SR: A widely circulated video shows your group beating the Israelis before they even touched the deck. Why did you attack them?
Ahfouk: We could clearly see they had paintball rifles. Have you ever been hit with a paintball?
SR: Yes, it hurts.
Ahfouk: Damned right it does, plus they can stain certain fabrics. On top of that, none of us were wearing approved eye protection. I don't know about you, but the last thing I want at two in the morning is some Jew ruining my good suit and accidentally shooting my eye out.
SR: I hear that.
