Mavi Marmara Passenger Aided Aussie Jihadists in Syria

Remember the 2010 Mavi Marmara incident, where Israeli commandos boarded an “aid” ship headed to Gaza and killed 9 passengers after they attacked the commandos with live fire and light weaponry, including knives and clubs? It turned out the ship contained no humanitarian aid at all.
In fact, one of the Mavi Marmara passengers was killed in Syria, as part of ISIS, back in 2014. And now, another passenger has been arrested in Australia on charges of allegedly helping arrange travel for a jihadist into the Syrian conflict zone.
