War On You: Breaking Alternative News

BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) – Leading Muslim cleric Sheikh Raed Salah said Friday that one million Turks registered to join the Freedom Flotilla 2 to break Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip.

In May 2010, Israeli troops raided a Turkish-flagged flotilla attempting to break the Gaza siege. Soldiers killed nine Turkish activists on board the boat in international waters, damaging relations between Tel Aviv and Ankara.

A second flotilla is scheduled to set sail in June.

Salah, who leads the Islamic movement in northern Israel, also described US President Barack Obama was “the world’s most stupid man of 2011.”

In an interview with Ma’an Radio, Salah confirmed that he would never run for Israel’s Knesset.

“With due respect to the Arab Knesset members, I will never join this institution,” he said.
