US citizen killed on flotilla was reportedly shot four times in head

[superzebra]

"One of the nine people killed in the Israeli raid on an aid flotilla Monday was a 19-year-old man with dual U.S.-Turkish citizenship, a U.S. State Department official said," CBS News reports.

The official identified the victim as Furkan Dogan, who was believed to have been residing in Turkey.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the matter has not been officially confirmed by the U.S. government.

The official said the victim had been shot but it was not clear who shot him. He was among eight of the dead being mourned at a funeral in Istanbul Thursday.
Dogan was a high school student studying social sciences in the town of Kayseri in central Turkey. He was born in the United States and moved to Turkey at the age of 2. He will be buried in his hometown tomorrow.

Dogan's body was returned to Turkey today along with eight others, all Turkish nationals, who were on board the Mavi Marmara.
The nationalities of the dead were determined after post-mortem examinations at a forensic institute in Istanbul, where the bodies were flown early Thursday, Anatolia said.

The nine activists who died in an Israeli raid on aid ships bound for Gaza were shot dead, the Anatolia news agency reported.

Forensic experts in Istanbul found bullet marks on the bodies of all the victims.

The experts said the exact circumstances of the activists' deaths would become clear in a balistics examination that would take about a month to complete.

The New York Times reports, "The Cihan news agency reported that Mr. Dogan had one bullet in the chest and four bullets fired into his head from close range."

An official from Humanitarian Relief Foundation, or İHH, NGO that organized the flotilla to Gaza, identified the U.S. citizen as 19-year-old Furkan Doğan, originally from the central Turkish town of Kayseri. Doğan had four bullet wounds to the head and one to the chest, Ömer Yağmur of İHH, told Anatolia.

The 19 wounded activists deported from Israel were also suffering from gun wounds, the chief doctor of the hospital in Ankara treating them said.

"The patients generally have serious injuries to their chests, abdomens and limbs. What we have is mostly gun wounds," Metin Doğan said in televised remarks.

At the conservative Powerline blog, John Hinderaker writes, "The facts are not entirely clear, but it appears that Dogan was born in the United States to Turkish parents who returned to Turkey not long thereafter. (The ABC story says he was two years old.) Apparently Dogan had lived in Turkey with his family since that time. He apparently was, in other words, a "birthright citizen," solely by virtue of the fact that his parents were residing in the U.S. when he was born."

If that is the case--and, again, the facts are not yet entirely clear--it is silly to call him an "American of Turkish descent." He, like the other members of his family, was a Turk. The idea that his presence among the dead raises a special diplomatic problem is absurd; if it does, it shouldn't.

Coincidentally, Scott Rasmussen published a poll this morning that found 58 percent of voters favor the abolition of birthright citizenship. I think the majority is right on this issue. Birthright citizenship is an anachronism, and in some respects a dangerous one, in an era when millions of people travel internationally and millions more enter the U.S. illegally, some for the specific purpose of having a baby here.

As for Dogan, it is reported that he was shot five times at close range, four times in the head. If that is correct, it is reasonable to infer that he was one of those attacking Israeli soldiers with a club, knife or other weapon and was shot in self-defense. The Times quotes his brother saying, on behalf of the family, "we were not sorry to hear that he fell like a martyr."

'The official said the victim had been shot but it was not clear who shot him'

I wonder who it could have been, Bugs Bunny?

This is a bloodletting Jewish "Hush Crime" writ large for the whole F'N Jew'd country called Israel.  It actually reminds me of how the American Jew'd press covers up obviously minority perpetrated violence here in the USA.

In fact, the same Jew editorializing is carried out.

It's the same old idiot murderous Jew IMHO... with the classic "Jew Speak" --

"we don't know exactly what happened",
"shots were reported",
"armed people were seen moving about",
"many were found dead and injured",
"people were seen leaving the scene",
"the matter is now closed",
"blood was seen on victims",
"the situation is now under control",
"ambulances arrived",
"people were taken into protective custody"

.... it is simply the same old Jew Bull Sh*t reporting except this time, instead of a Jew Defense Lawyer/Kosher Reporter trying to excuse miscreant Inner-city Gangstas or Immigrant criminals for murdering Whites for $20 bucks...
they are trying to excuse the Bloodletting of their own Dog Rabid Jews on Peace Activists... it's the same "Jew-Murder" song only in a slightly different tune...  It is blatantly obvious to any 8-year old  what happen and WHO DID THE KILLING... except the IDIOT JEW PRESS just mouths on and on about "we don't know exactly how it happened.... ", "It is still being investigated", "officials are on the scene" ...  
 
Jew Press + Whites Murdered + Minority Perpetrators is the same as the Jew Press + Gaza Peace activists murdered + Jew Perpetrators --- Jews will hide their crimes in the Press -- it is that simple.

In the best of worlds, Turkish cannons drown out the Jew Editorial Whines... actually American cannons in the best of worlds...   sorry if this offends but this is what came to mind...if you are a minority and peace-loving then my apologies...

It is CRITICAL to point-out that this attack occurred on MEMORIAL DAY...

THIS IS HOW THE GOD-DAMNED *LITERALLY* ISRAELIS CELEBRATE THE DAY IN REMEMBRANCE OF SO AS NOT TO REPEAT THE HORROS OF WAR..

BY MURDERING INNOCENTS WITH GOOD HEARTS WITH THEIR COMMANDOS, GUNSHIPS, AND LYING CONTROLLED PRESS.

Mother fucking monsters commit crimes like this, AND MOTHER FUCKING MONSTERS MAKE EXCUSES FOR OR SUPPORT THESE ACTIONS.

EOD.

Well I'm not sure what you guys are surprised about. Killing Goyim is a national pastime in Jizzrael. Like Americans love to play baseball and go to amusement parks, Jews love gutting non-Jews and watching the blood-ooze. :evil:  :evil:

This is A-typical to what Israel does in Gaza on a daily basis, and they call shooting people in the head four times, self defense. At least one of the murdered was also tied before shot according to a flotilla witness. There is no other word for this besides pre-meditated murder by a country of psychopaths!
