and, of course, this statement will also go unchallenged by the same nattering individuals who actually do know nothing.
Considering that the only people who know the truth are the ones there, and even they are not necessarily going to have an accurate view of events(ask cops about getting testimony from witnesses, and how several people will see the same event differently), the whole "points to the truth" thing is premature.
About the only truths know for sure right now is that the Flotilla is not now headed to Gaza, and that this is another PR nightmare for Israel.
Now comes the propaganda which unfortunatly will be believed by some who have an anti Israel agenda.
Irony, you are good at it.
Apocalypse has brought out some excellent points that are very informative. Basically this flottila was not a relief effort at all. It was a planned provocation of israel for propaganda purposes. Every effort to facilitate the aid to Gaza was rejected. This in itself tells me that aid was not the intent it was to provoke a confrontation with Israel. And thats what they got. Now comes the propaganda which unfortunatly will be believed by some who have an anti Israel agenda.
Once more, every individual arrives at the truth at a different timing, clearly the doctors taking care of a mortally-wounded person know that he's dead before anyone else does.
By the way, the Flotilla might be in Ashdod and not in Gaza, but the humanitarian aid is on its way to Gaza and that should have been the entire event were there was no attempt to kill the soldiers doing the interception.
This was the topic of many of the arguments in Israel before the interception.There is some truth to this. It is almost certain that a confrontation was desired. I suspect that it might have been in Israel's best interest to not give them a confrontation as they did. Doing exactly what your opponent wants is not usually good tactics.
Perhaps.Also, another PR disaster by the Israeli Government.
This was the topic of many of the arguments in Israel before the interception.
Many have said that Israel should just let the flotilla pass, as Olmert did in 2008 when he was the PM, but others have said that it would give legitimization to the ships, would attract more and more of them, and would pretty much break the siege placed by Egypt and Israel on the Gaza Strip.
Perhaps.
On the other hand, PR/PC is not the primary concern when hot lead is whizzing by your ears.
Its not a judgement of the troops on the ground, more an indictment of decision makers who placed them in such a cauldron.

The organizers of this supposed humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people where the IHH. The IHH has ties to Global Jihad, al Qaeda, and the terrorist organization Hamas. They have also been involved in the trafficing of illegal arms.
Here is a link that provides info on the organization International Humanitaire Hilfsorganization (IHH).
IHH - a Turkish humanitarian relief fund with a radical Islamic anti-Western orientation.
No one has seriously considered that the soldiers are risking their life by boarding a ship of "peaceful activists", mind you.
Here is video it looks like that the person was being hit with a sock. I can't believe that people tend to forget the Uss Liberty that was attacked by Israel also in international waters.
Yes, but what the world will actually select to watch are the carefully edited Pallywood type videos that reinforce their own bigotry. Remember -- the soldiers just "stormed" the ship and started opening fire on the poor, defenseless "peace" activists.
Most people lack the intelligence to sort out fact from fiction, and simply react to the way an issue is framed for them. Once the proper words are selected to elicit the desired emotional reaction, they will continue to repeat the mantra even if their eyes SHOULD tell them otherwise. Compounding matters, others jump in with accusations that it is somehow those who are objective who are acting irrationally, and the psy ops is complete.

I don't understand why the American government closes its eyes to Israeli crimes against humanity. It just shows the power that lobbying has on the government.
