AWFUL… John Kerry Compares Boston Marathon Victims to Mavi Marmara Thugs

In 2010 this picture was the winning photo of the year in Turkey – a battered and bloody Israeli soldier aboard the Mavi Marmara.

Nine people were killed aboard the Gaza-bound Mavi Marmara after IDF troops  encountered violent resistance by “peace activists” when they boarded the ship.  The so-called “peace activists” were armed with an assortment of weapons. They threw stun grenades and beat the Israeli soldiers with pipes and chains. The ship failed to comply to Israeli commands before it was boarded.  The terrorists planned the surprise attack on the Israeli troops in advance.

This weekend Secretary of State John Kerry compared the Boston Marathon victims to the  dead Mavi Maramara terrorists.
Israel National News reported, via Israel Matsav:

Speaking at Istanbul, Turkey, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry made a jarring comparison between the victims of the Boston Marathon terror bombs and terror activists from the IHH group who were killed when they attacked IDF forces aboard the Mavi Marmara in 2010.

Kerry told his hosts in Turkey that he understands the pain of the families whose loved ones were killed aboard the Marmara – and added that he can understand their pain well, having just dealt with the families whose loved ones were slain in Boston.

Eight year-old Martin Richard was killed in the bombings last week.
