Peace Activism or Military Preparations

Since when do "peace activists" have access to sophisticated night vision equipment, rifle scopes and bullet proof vests? These photos taken by the IDF of items found on board the Mavi Marnara would indicate that the portrayal of non-violent humanitarians interested only in distributing aid to Gaza is thoroughly inaccurate.

The equipment, along with the clubs and knives found by the IDF on board the Mavi Marnara is evidence of the premeditated nature of the violence perpetrated by those on board.

The photos show one of the electric saws used to saw metal rods off of the Marnara's deck. These rods were used to attack the Israeli soldiers boarding the ship.
