The IHH admits it's a terror organization

IHH’s man in Gaza, Muhammad Kaya, gave a stirring speech, as senior members of Hamas looked on. Here, according to the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, part of an Israeli NGO, is what Kaya said:

“We [IHH] represent Turkey, and our interest and goal is not to feed the Palestinian people and bring them food, but to help them stand on their feet in face of the occupation’s oppression and support them in confronting their enemies. We are certain that if the force on this land [i.e., the de facto Hamas administration in the Gaza Strip] submitted to imperialist dictates money would flow in from every side, but this force refused [to surrender to all the dictates] and stood firm in the face of challenges.” He added that “We the Turkish Muslim people will continue to stand at the side of the Palestinian people. Our spirit is with theirs, our money is [placed] with theirs, we will remain at their side and support them.” He then thanked those who had helped rebuild the building and said that “the day will come when Palestinians will build their houses in Jaffa, Tel Aviv and Haifa.”

All of this is telling, but the first sentence–that IHH’s goal is not to bring humanitarian aid to the Palestinians, but rather to help them confront their enemies–and the last sentence–that all of Israel, including Tel Aviv and Haifa, is occupied territory and must be Judenrein–are admissions by IHH that they are, in fact, what Israel and her allies said they were: terrorists, just as the behavior of the “activists” aboard the Mavi Marmara indicated.
