Gaza Flotilla: Does This Video Show Israeli Commandos "Executing" Turkish-American Furkan Dogan?

A video of an incident in the Israeli raid on the Freedom Flotilla is circulating on the Internet. It allegedly shows two Israeli commandos: one is kicking someone lying on the deck while the other is shooting someone at very close range with a Remington 870 shotgun. Turkish sources claim that this clip depicts the 19-year-old American-born Furkan Dogan being executed. The teenager, according to a Turkish autopsy, was shot four times in the head and once in the chest.

Furkan's father, Assistant Professor Ahmet Dogan, said: "My son was a U.S. citizen. That is why we want and expect America to start an investigation regarding my son Furkan's death, to condemn the situation and to help us for Israel's juristically being punished."

Meanwhile, the Turkish-based Foundation for Human Rights and Freedoms and Humanitarian Relief (IHH) stated that new six ships have already been registered for a new convoy to Gaza in mid July.

So who will get there first? The Turks or the Iranians. No matter

When is the weapon fired? The soldier never gets into a firing position and there's no sound of fire, muzzle flash or sign of recoil.

It's a shame to see this blog wander into conspiracy territory, it started off as a good alternative to traditional news outlets online.

Yonatan,

Have you noticed the word "ALLEGEDLY"? Then, the second key word, "Turkish sources CLAIM"? I did not say that it was Furkan executed but asked whether it was him... Now, are you still considering this as a conspiracy?

Problem here is, the Iranians will probably ruin the party for everyone by actually sending weapons and ammunition while others actually send aide.

Um, 4 times in the head and once in the chest with the 870 would leave little to identify.

Ali,

It is not a matter of whether the people ("allegedly") shown are Israeli commandos; it is not a matter of who is being executed; it is a matter of whether this is a video of an execution.

I never considered this a conspiracy, I apologize if that is the impression. I should have writted "It's a shame to see this blog wander into conspiracy theory territory..."
