Spicy Noodle Roll to Gaza Raid

Gaza Strip ISRAEL “courageously, morally, and with restraint.” - Benjamin Netanyahu

A cheerful cooking video begins by showing a spicy noodle spam roll, then abruptly cuts to destruction in Gaza, a map of the Gaza Strip, food supplies, a nighttime naval operation, armed commandos, and people on a ship. It ends with Benjamin Netanyahu’s quote praising the operation as “courageously, morally, and with restraint.” The joke is the stark, darkly ironic contrast between upbeat viral food content and a serious account of the Gaza flotilla raid, with light music making the transition even more jarring.

What's up guys, I'm making the viral spicy noodle spam roll. Or am I? It was 2010. The Israeli military had just destroyed 58,000 homes in Gaza. Over 1,200 people perished. As if that wasn't bad enough, Israel had imposed a total blockade restricting medicine and food. On May 31, a Turkish humanitarian group sent a flotilla containing 10,000 tons of desperately needed aid to Gaza. The Israelis responded by sending in an elite naval commando unit flying in military helicopters. In the dead of night, the commando team flew over the vessel and dropped tear gas, stun grenades, and fired rubber bullets. Commandoes then repelled down, and after a scuffle between the officers and the humanitarians, the commandoes opened fire with live rounds. Nine of the workers would be slain, execution style, being shrunk multiple times, five of them hit in the head. In Israel, the commandoes were hailed as heroes. heroes. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said they acted courageously, morally, and with restraint.
