The video was captured by Mohammad Al-Mash-harawy, of the Media Town News Agency in Gaza, during a field report documenting the ongoing Israeli assaults against Palestinian fishermen in the coastal region.

The Navy boats were sailing at fast speeds, and encircling the Palestinian fishing boats, and flooding them with water, an issue that pushed the fishermen to go back to the shore.

Despite the fact that the fishermen were trying to steer their boats back to the shore, the Navy boats continue to encircle them.

In related news, the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) reported that, on Tuesday morning, 28 August 2012, two Palestinian fishermen were kidnapped and a Palestinian fishing boat was heavily damaged in two separate attacks carried out by the Israeli Navy in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.

Since 2000, fishermen have been denied their right to sail and fish and have been subject to frequent attacks that led to excessive damage and dozens of casualties.
Israel reduced the area of fishing from 20 nautical miles, which was established upon in the agreements signed between Palestinian and Israel, to 6 nautical miles in 2008.

“However, Israeli forces have continued to prevent fishermen from going beyond 3 nautical miles since 2009. As a result, fishermen are prevented from reaching areas beyond that distance where fish are abundant. Sometimes, Israeli forces also chased fishermen within the 3 nautical mile area. Consequently, Palestinian fishermen have lost 85% of their income, because of limiting the fishing area”, the PCHR reported.

Can't you tell that the site is anti-Semitic? It's an Arab anti-Israeli site for disseminating hate.

Our mainstream media let us down again. I have to think that if this was Iran doing this it would be an excuse to go to war.

Watch the video and put put yourself in their shoes.

If they are in the "open sea" they shouldn't be chasing them. I don't have enough info to discuss.

No, we don't have enough info to discuss. They could be running the blockade as well, who knows? I actually suspect that to be true in light of the paucity of detail. This site would msrepresent the information if they were running the blockade. This smells as fishy as the source.

To the OP, of course I watched the video.

How did the media let us down? Iran has committed piracy and got away with it. You seem to be making a mountain out of a molehill. Ask yourself, would anyone care about this at all if it didn't have anything to do with Israel?

North Korea does it all the time.

Most websites like this lack credibility. One way to check is to look at other articles and see what they say. Here is one posted next to the "fishing boat" article.

Bereaved mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters had to live so many years not knowing whether their loved ones are among the living simply because the state of Israel killed them, dumped their bodies in many of these graveyards, and never even cared about reporting these deaths, some of them are fighters, but a significant number of them are, or were, prisoners of war, injured and killed, tortured to death in brutal Israeli interrogation facilities.

What caught my attention most is the total media blackout, corporate media agencies, Zionist media agencies and their puppets in the United States and elsewhere, just ignoring the whole issue, as if nothing happened.

You do not have to be a supporter of the Palestinian cause to report on this issue, or to be moved by it, it is simply a fact that Israel has these illegal graveyards, where it dumps the bodies of Arab and Palestinian prisoners of war, and does not even care about informing the families or at least the Red Cross, simply because what Israel is doing is not only outrageous, cruel and inhumane, but also illegal and violates international law.

But there is nothing new here, Israel has been violating International Law, and the Fourth Geneva Convention, since its creation in the historic land of Palestine; a creation that meant the massive expulsion of the indigenous Palestinian population, taking over their homes and lands, and the total destruction of hundreds of Palestinian villages and towns, before settlers danced celebrating the creation of their state, some knowing that massacres took place but still danced and celebrated.

After all, some of them were deluded by Zionist movement’s racist ideology, the same ideology that pushed many Jews to leave Palestine simply because they did not want to be part of these crimes, but Israel is not about Judaism. It is about Zionism -- Jews and Arabs managed to live together in Palestine before the Zionist ideology crept in, and I believe they can live together, once again, in peace and harmony.

Today, the Palestinians had to bury 91 persons, skulls and bones placed in coffins, and tried to give them the respect and the burial ceremonies they duly deserve.

Corporate media agencies would not budge, nothing worth reporting here, as for them the lives of Palestinians do not count as lives of human beings, those are the same agencies that couldn't care less when Israel killed 1419 Palestinians during the war on Gaza, and injured more than 4000, mainly children, elderly, infants and women. Instead, they focused on the Israeli side of the border.

Not that Israeli lives are worth less, but during that war, 13 Israelis were killed, eight of them were soldiers, and five of those eight were killed by friendly fire.

But corporate media chose to ignore Israel’s bombardment of UN facilities where hundreds of residents, children and women, took shelter, chose to ignore the bombardment of hospitals and medical centers, and the deliberate targeting of rescue teams and reporters. They continued to ignore the annihilation of entire families, infants and babies.

Those are the same agencies that made it look like the Palestinians were "showering Israel with missiles”, although the resistance was firing homemade metal shells, while Israel was using its planes, tanks and artillery, bombarding the densely populated Gaza Strip with different sorts of missiles and bombs including the illegal white phosphorus shells.

Today, we buried 91 skulls, the bones of 91 persons, and Israel still has more, who knows how many more skeletons it has in its closet. After all, Israel is a state that considers itself above the law, above all international laws, enjoying the protection of the United States that gives it billions of dollars in direct financial aid and hundreds of millions of dollars in military and “civil” aid.

Israel has killed more than 204 prisoners of war, and I am not talking here about the dozens of fighters, including Arab fighters, it killed, but I am talking about prisoners, who should have enjoyed all of those international treaties that protect prisoners of war.

Those prisoners were tortured to death, some of them executed after their arrest, others died due to not receiving the medical treatment they urgently needed.

Seems pretty accurate to me

HAMAS CHOSE TO LAUNCH THEIR ATTACKS FROM SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS AND MOSQUES.

Israel was FORCED to defend themselves and only fired at their
attackers. If Hamas had laid down their arms there would never
even have been a conflict. Instead, Hamas sought civilian casualties
and the blood is on their hands.

And you give this??

Maybe they should stop firing rockets at the Isralies and they wouldn't have to put the clamps down on them.

Are you making the claim that the information is false?

Why do you call everything "anti-semitic" that make Israel look bad?

If the information is true, its true. Your opinion of the website is irrelevant. We know there is no love between the Arab's and Israel. Big deal.

News is news. Each side is bias in their own behalf.

Nonsense. There is no freedom of the press in Hamastan.
All that comes out of Gaza is Hamas propaganda and is
basically antisemitic since it reflects the view of Hamas
which is an antisemitic organization.

The International Middle East Media Center (or IMEMC) is a news organisation run by Palestinians and only publishes BS approved
by Hamas.

This is why it is antisemitic garbage.

Israel has freedom of the press and many news stories are not
approved by the Israeli Govt and can be critical of the Israeli
Govt and multiple news agencies can verify the truth or falseness
of any claims made in Israel and they do.

Israel has real news. Hamas has only propaganda approved by Hamas.

Of course they are anti-Zionist and anti-Israel. They are basically AT WAR WITH EACH OTHER and have been for a long time. I don't think you can call them anti-semitic because many of them are Semitic themselves. (Semitic does not mean "Jewish") But because of Hitler, the term anti-semitic came to mean anti-Jew.

So are the Palestinians and Arabs anti-Jew? Probably. They seem to be at war, so Duh!

Israel has freedom of the press? Sure they do.... (I don't believe that is true, its just what they claim.)

That may be the policy, but the one who has the freedom is the person who owns and controls the news company. I have freedom of the press too (supposed to anyway) so if I owned a newspaper I could print what I want... supposedly. But there are still tons of government regulations, and small time newspapers have been known to receive threats if they get too far out of line with the status quo.

So are Arabs anti-semitic? DUH!! Probably!! THEY ARE AT WAR WITH ZIONIST JEWS. So I guess they don't like each other.

If Israel has "freedom of the press" why don't you read about these Israeli terrorist acts in their newspapers? I'm sure you are going to say "because they never happened."

Israel is a peace loving friendly country who would never harm anyone.

...and yet everyone of their neighbors hate their guts.

but we like the personal attacks.

their guts?
