The effort to destroy the Jewish state has many fronts. One front is in Iran, where the maniacal regime that has repeatedly promised to “wipe Israel off the map” marches inexorably toward a nuclear bomb. Another is in Gaza, from which Hamas has lobbed 10,000 missiles into Israeli cities. Yet another front, the most insidious, is comprised of the propaganda arm of the Palestinian movement. And this front thrives for only one reason — the complicity of the world press and the so-called “international community.”
It was the propaganda arm that staged the “Freedom Flotilla.” But there have been many previous productions: The propaganda arm was responsible for the photo-shopped images of damage to Lebanon during the 2006 war, the staged “death” of twelve-year-old Muhammad al-Durrah, the “massacre” at Jenin, and the “war crimes” in Gaza.
In each and every case, the “news” of Israeli atrocities was broadcast far and wide by organizations such as Reuters, AP, CNN, and AFP. The United Nations has offered its imprimatur to every libel. The truth seemed always to have a case of laryngitis.
Today, in the wake of the confrontation between Israeli soldiers and the provocateurs aboard the Gaza flotilla, the remarkably incurious world press is providing exactly the sort of headlines on which the organizers knew they could count. “Flotilla Attack Is Israel’s Kent State” screamed the Huffington Post. Agence France Presse carried a banner quoting the Turkish foreign minister to the effect that “Israel has lost all legitimacy.” Every news outlet I checked docilely described the flotilla as “humanitarian.”

Good thing I wasn't in charge of the Israeli forces when The Boat people grabbed their guns, I would have ordered the Boat SUNK !
They had no guns. Get off the Israel propaganda wagon.
Yeah, all humanitarians carry around pipes, slingshots with pockets full of marbles, knives, clubs and handguns! Humanitarian my a$$, they deserve what ever the IDF did to them and then some!
Be aware that the apparent policy in the Obama administration is to "hang Israel out to dry" and support terrorist regimes in the region. Why? Doing so will advance his call for a New World Order since trashing Israel ( a tiny democratic country that is non-Moslem) gains Obama and his ilk more political support from the Moslem world. The truth is that the Palestinians could have settled the issue with Israel 50 years ago and had a half century of peace and prosperity as neighbors. But peace and prosperity is not what many Arabs want. They want the neck of Israel on a bloody plate over land that is not particularly important in the larger scheme of peace in the region. They couldn't even accept a deal President Clinton offered that gave the Palestinians 97% of what they were demanding. The Palestinian leadership has wreaked havoc on its own people for the sake of revenge and geopolitical power. Shame on them! The flotilla is just another example planned anarchy.
We have videos of the commander of the Mavi Marmara promising Jihad the day before embarking on his IHH (Turkish Hamas front group connected to the Muslim Brotherhood & Al Queida) terrorist venture. We have video of the axes, huge knives, metal rods, rocks, & sling shots used against the Israelis doing their job of enforcing a legal blockade of a terrorist entity. We have video of passengers on these ships vowing to break the blockade or die trying while singing about Israel's annihilation. We have video of Israel explaining that they welcome the aid but that it had to go through Ashdod for inspection first, not through a closed military zone. We have videos of the sub-human, savage, barbaric, primeval, cowardly, terrorists ambushing & lynching Israelis while the world media & world leaders continue to call them humanitarians. Now we also know that the goods on the ships are not in short supply in Gaza. Israel allows daily deliveries of such aid and hundreds of tunnels smuggle in so much that we have videos showing abundant supplies of all manner of necessities & luxuries overflowing in Gaza. There is no humanitarian crisis despite the lies of the U.N. that they're only getting 25% of what they need. Israel can learn one thing from this flotilla. Terrorists will pose as humanitarians. Next time don't land with paint ball guns. Clear the deck & land with guns barreled.
shotguns work very well at close proximity
The European govenments are brain-dead where the life (through socialist thinking) got sucked out of them. Here are some of the definitions for various factors and the truth behind this incident:
Liberal press definition: Humanitarians
Reality: Anti Israelies who planned a propoganda feat. They stocked and prepared metal pipes,
knives and guns.
Liberal press: Israeli Commandos
Reality: A unit which took a mission without any automatic weapons, got orders to avoid using their
pistols and took the time to make paint-ball guns to decrease chances of hurting people.
Liberal press: Glorifies the aid materials to a surrounded city.
Truth: Israel allowas aid materials to enter Gaza DAILY and have offered in advance to
deliver the content of the ships to Gaza (after inspection to avoid weapons).
As you check and evaluate the details and reality of this incident The EVIL and good becomes clear.
This act of war by the Terrorists;the political wing along with the zombies they hired or hypnotized into participating,this flotilla was a direct provocation by IRAN and its zombie allies to brutalize Israel in the eyes of a dumb and simple -minded world .They used these dumb activists as a sacrifice ,knowing there would be violence and turmoil;the whole purpose of opening the port as these 'freinds' OF Palestine call themselves was to allow shipments of terror weapons to flow easily into Gaza ,insuring more ISRAELI casualties and furthur dragging all countries into more trouble.The humanitarina aid could procceed easily if these friends of Palestine were more congenial to the Isreali govt;a govt who has the welfare of its people to consider first and foremost;like all other countries.Iran and its allies ;allies of hate and murder always seem to win in the court of public opinion;perhasps its time for the COURT OF GOD;HE WHO CARRIES NO OPINION.ONLY PERFECT DISCERNMENT AND JUDGEMENT.MAYBE THE TIME HAS COME.
planned for ALL who come against Israel. The 6 day war was an event that goes against all the science you can dig up. God Try pulling that kind of stunt here and ANY COP will BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF and ask questions later. Dont even think about it in NJ. Those Cops are mad junk yard dogs and will not take this kind of crap from no body. Those people shot those rag heads for all the right reasons and will get away with it if the entire world can watch the same clip I just saw. I AM A RETIRED POLICE OFFICER ! I'LL BE DAM IF I LET SOMEBODY TRY AND KICK THE CRAP OUT OF ME AND GET AWAY WITH IT LIKE THAT !!! AND IF THEY DONT BELONG IN THAT AREA TO BEGIN WITH I WOULD HAVE THE ENTIRE CREW LOCKED UP FOR BEING TOTALLY OUT OF ORDER ! PERIOD !!! These people do not know how to live in peace with their neighbors AT ALL and as long as they dream about killing Jews and teach their children to kill the Jews…they can kiss their butts Cotahaffice!
Funny how RUSSIA ALWAYS HAS A HAND IN INSTIGATIONS;WHY SELL OR HELP THESE COU8NTRIES IN THE FIRST PLACE;MONEY?REVENGE?PERSONAL INTEREST?THEY ARE ALL ACHING FOR A BAKING!THIS IS ALL PART OF THE EMERGING NEW WORLD ORDER;AN ANNUALLY RENEWABLE TERM POLICY ;NEW AND IMPROVED!!!!!!!!!LESS SUGAR!LESS SALT!…………and empty calories
These palestinians are nothing but terrorists supported by obama and his band of thugs. The people of the United States will stand by one of our best allies in the middle east. Go get them.
Never heard of the USS Liberty, eh?
It would seem that the writer of this disinformation article and those commenting on it have constipated brains and diarrhea of the mouth. Good Lord, but you people care nothing whatsoever for truth and justice. In fact, your spewing forth of the type of garbage you feel is worth making available to other people sickens me to the core and causes me to wonder no more as to how the world has reached the point it has.
What losers you are but you do not need to stay as misinformed as you are. You might try to find out the truth, and to accept it rather than hanging on to the myths taught you by those that intend on destroying most of mankind.
But, of course, you will not seek the truth, as the truth hurts.
Very well spoken. At least there is someone here who can think straight.
My hope is that Israel totally ignores anything Obama says and continues to defend themselves as they have had to do since May, 1948!
The stupid Arabs knew a blockade was in place. Their only purpose in launching the flotilla was a propaganda stunt designed to involve world media bias and stir up trouble against Israel.
Fact; There is a legal blockade.
Fact; Israel overtly offered the ships a port to offload but they refused intending to cause a conflict.
Fact; Planning to run a blockade is planning an act of aggression not a humanitarian act.
Fact; Israel and Egypt allow aid to pass once it is checked for banned items.
The Israelis did not sink any vessels which would have been a possibility had any ship actually made the "run". It is beyond rational thought to assume that claiming a humanitarian mission is cover and cause for an incursion into a conflict zone with unchecked cargo. The only reason to do so is to provoke a reaction and in this case it is apparent that the six hundred passengers were not along for the photo op and were armed and prepared to use deadly force. Yes, pipes and knives are deadly force and that was not the full extent of the armament weilded by these would be blockade runners. If anyone wishes to perform humanitarian work for Palestinians they need to first make a public demand Hamas stop ALL aggression. To date this has not been the case.
Bull. You are an idiot that knows nothing about Israeli terrorism, or the situation in the Middle East. What a fool you are to believe that Israel is anything but a racist, hate-filled secular state made up of Khazarian so-called Jews that have NO rights to anything in the Middle East.
The blockade is not legal, and nothing that Israel has done is legal. The attacks by the crazed Israelis was on the open seas and you are a complete idiot if you believe that the people from many different countries were anything but humanitarians. You are an indoctrinated brain-dead factless lump of BS.
Wait until it comes here, what with all the Zionist loving, Jewish defending brainwashed people we have in government and supporting out of control government actions. Then you will see the error of your non-thinking, non-caring attitude.
Israel had no intent other than starving and genociding the people in Gaza. One day the truth will out, and it will come from those that follow Judaism, as it is certain ignorant people here that support the leading terrorist nation on Earth – maybe 2nd if we consider the US – but Israel started terrorism under Begin who bragged he invented terrorism after the Deir Yassin massacre by the most evil leadership that ever existed.
Why is Egypt also supporting the blockade? I don't believe it to be illegal and it if it were, why is there no mention of that anywhere and again, why is Egypt enforcing it?
If the "humanitarian flotilla" had followed protocol, then there would be nothing to report on. Why could they not follow protocol? What did they have to hide and what were they trying to stir up? This is nothing more than another grab for attention. My opinion is to raze the Middle East, minus Israel, turn it all into a sheet of glass. No, I am not a Jew nor do I practice any religion. I call it as I see it.
These people have been fighting each other for thousands of years, lets end it peacefully by tactically nuking each of their countries. They do nothing but breed hate and contempt for anyone that is non-Muslim, so let's make it really easy for them!
Thank you for confirming that you are a left wing dupe that can only spew names and unfounded rubbish. Let me add that you are a racist biggot of the first order. The truth is out already it just can't be heard by bloodthirsty maniacs who deserve nothing better than a secure hovel to breed your contempt in. What came here is the murdering decievers of Islam nothing more. I wonder if you have what it takes to kneel for them before they lop off your useless head?
The bible tells you EXACTLY what is going to happen to them all if they do not straighten out and fly right. As long as Israel has to put up with there bottle rockets (like flies to mess up your day) keep coming into the city and nut jobs that are wraped in plastic to take out women and children in the market places….. These mad dogs will be wiped out one day JUST AS THE WORD OF GOD TELLS PEOPLE . But it is clear that people like you know nothing about higher intelligence!! The story of life as we know it has already been written and given to us to know what comes next. We are just actors in a play that has already finished.
I would suggest you watch Jack Van Impy Ministries on Tv late one night and Jack will tell you all about what is happening as we speak and what God has whiped out the enemies of Israel while out numbered 6 to one… and now the nation is "A CUP OF TREMBLING TO ALL THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD" !! Read Gods best seller while you still can because there will be a test………….. Good Day.
When I read what people like you write while foaming at the mouth… the only thing I can say to you is somebody is going to lock you up one day just for being so incohearant ! You have the Evil part right but short a pack of french fries to complete a happy meal bud ! You sound like a person who does not know what the WORD OF GOD tells us about what is going on even as we speak. Yes there are some Satanic Jews that run the country JUST AS OURS IS BEING RUN AS WELL. It is the same satanically inspired people who are pushing the world into a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT. I just saw the film clip and if that bunch of nut jobs starting beating the crap out of me I might have given the order to sink the entire ship and then let God sort them out !!
Try pulling that kind of stunt here and ANY COP will BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF and ask questions later. Dont even think about it in NJ. Those Cops are mad junk yard dogs and will not take this kind of crap from no body. Those people shot those rag heads for all the right reasons and will get away with it if the entire world can watch the same clip I just saw.
This is for you people that believe so strongly that Jews are righteous and pure. It was written by a Jew, the URL given. I also suggest you research the Deir Yassin massacre, the USS Liberty, the slaughter of 2000 Egyptian prisoners, 9-11, and a multitude of other terrorist actions by Israelis. Read Israel Shahak's works, Benjamin Freedman's 1961 speech (leading so-called Jew – one of the 117 at the Versaille Treaty signing), statements by past and current Rabbis, historians, and other so-called Jewish leaders and spokespeople. If you like, and want facts rather than pro-Israel propaganda, I can post a bunch of quotes that should sicken every human being that believes in human rights.
Due to length, this is divided into parts.
Stalin's Jews http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3342999…
We mustn't forget that some of greatest murderers of modern times were Jewish
Published: 12.21.06, 23:35 / Israel Opinion
Here's a particularly forlorn historical date: Almost 90 years ago, between the 19th and 20th of December 1917, in the midst of the Bolshevik revolution and civil war, Lenin signed a decree calling for the establishment of The All-Russian Extraordinary Commission for Combating Counter-Revolution and Sabotage, also known as Cheka.
Within a short period of time, Cheka became the largest and cruelest state security organization. Its organizational structure was changed every few years, as were its names: From Cheka to GPU, later to NKVD, and later to KGB.
We cannot know with certainty the number of deaths Cheka was responsible for in its various manifestations, but the number is surely at least 20 million, including victims of the forced collectivization, the hunger, large purges, expulsions, banishments, executions, and mass death at Gulags.
Whole population strata were eliminated: Independent farmers, ethnic minorities, members of the bourgeoisie, senior officers, intellectuals, artists, labor movement activists, "opposition members" who were defined completely randomly, and countless members of the Communist party itself.
In his new, highly praised book "The War of the World, "Historian Niall Ferguson writes that no revolution in the history of mankind devoured its children with the same unrestrained appetite as did the Soviet revolution. In his book on the Stalinist purges, Tel Aviv University's Dr. Igal Halfin writes that Stalinist violence was unique in that it was directed internally.
Lenin, Stalin, and their successors could not have carried out their deeds without wide-scale cooperation of disciplined "terror officials," cruel interrogators, snitches, executioners, guards, judges, perverts, and many bleeding hearts who were members of the progressive Western Left and were deceived by the Soviet regime of horror and even provided it with a kosher certificate.
All these things are well-known to some extent or another, even though the former Soviet Union's archives have not yet been fully opened to the public. But who knows about this? Within Russia itself, very few people have been brought to justice for their crimes in the NKVD's and KGB's service. The Russian public discourse today completely ignores the question of "How could it have happened to us?" As opposed to Eastern European nations, the Russians did not settle the score with their Stalinist past.
End Part I
The 6 day war was an event that goes against all the science you can dig up. God Try pulling that kind of stunt here and ANY COP will BLOW YOUR HEAD OFF and ask questions later. Dont even think about it in NJ. Those Cops are mad junk yard dogs and will not take this kind of crap from no body. Those people shot those rag heads for all the right reasons and will get away with it if the entire world can watch the same clip I just saw. I AM A RETIRED POLICE OFFICER ! I'LL BE DAM IF I LET SOMEBODY TRY AND KICK THE CRAP OUT OF ME AND GET AWAY WITH IT LIKE THAT !!! AND IF THEY DONT BELONG IN THAT AREA TO BEGIN WITH I WOULD HAVE THE ENTIRE CREW LOCKED UP FOR BEING TOTALLY OUT OF ORDER ! PERIOD !!!
Read the book Judgement Day and find out that the USS LIBERTY was TORN UP FOR TRANSMITTING ISRAELIS POSITIONS TO THE EGYPTIONS !!! YOU WILL QUICKLY FIND OUT IN THAT BOOK THAT AMERICA DID NOT WANT HITTLERS JEWS EITHER. The country is being run by the same BEAST that is sending the US to hell in a hand backet. THE VERY SAME NWO PEOPLE !! THE BILDERBERGS, THE CFR, AND THE TLC. THESE ARE THE SERVANTS OF SATAN that are running the same show in Israel. READ THE WORD OF GOD AND YOU WILL NOT NEED ANYONE…..to teach you !! "LET NO MAN TEACH YOU" The hand writing is on the wall but we have all of these profound writers spouting things of the world rather than the things that are not of this world to lead them to UNDERSTANDING. I would suggest the book Apollyon Rising 2012. This book will also tell you EXACTLY what is going on right now. Anathema Maranatha !
Part II to Stalin's Jews
And us, the Jews? An Israeli student finishes high school without ever hearing the name "Genrikh Yagoda," the greatest Jewish murderer of the 20th Century, the GPU's deputy commander and the founder and commander of the NKVD. Yagoda diligently implemented Stalin's collectivization orders and is responsible for the deaths of at least 10 million people. His Jewish deputies established and managed the Gulag system. After Stalin no longer viewed him favorably, Yagoda was demoted and executed, and was replaced as chief hangman in 1936 by Yezhov, the "bloodthirsty dwarf."
Yezhov was not Jewish but was blessed with an active Jewish wife. In his Book "Stalin: Court of the Red Star", Jewish historian Sebag Montefiore writes that during the darkest period of terror, when the Communist killing machine worked in full force, Stalin was surrounded by beautiful, young Jewish women.
Stalin's close associates and loyalists included member of the Central Committee and Politburo Lazar Kaganovich. Montefiore characterizes him as the "first Stalinist" and adds that those starving to death in Ukraine, an unparalleled tragedy in the history of human kind aside from the Nazi horrors and Mao's terror in China, did not move Kaganovich.
Many Jews sold their soul to the devil of the Communist revolution and have blood on their hands for eternity. We'll mention just one more: Leonid Reichman, head of the NKVD's special department and the organization's chief interrogator, who was a particularly cruel sadist.
In 1934, according to published statistics, 38.5 percent of those holding the most senior posts in the Soviet security apparatuses were of Jewish origin. They too, of course, were gradually eliminated in the next purges. In a fascinating lecture at a Tel Aviv University convention this week, Dr. Halfin described the waves of soviet terror as a "carnival of mass murder," "fantasy of purges", and "essianism of evil." Turns out that Jews too, when they become captivated by messianic ideology, can become great murderers, among the greatest known by modern history.
The Jews active in official communist terror apparatuses (In the Soviet Union and abroad) and who at times led them, did not do this, obviously, as Jews, but rather, as Stalinists, communists, and "Soviet people." Therefore, we find it easy to ignore their origin and "play dumb": What do we have to do with them? But let's not forget them. My own view is different. I find it unacceptable that a person will be considered a member of the Jewish people when he does great things, but not considered part of our people when he does amazingly despicable things.
Even if we deny it, we cannot escape the Jewishness of "our hangmen," who served the Red Terror with loyalty and dedication from its establishment. After all, others will always remind us of their origin.
If the creeps were only carrying food or needed stuff why the big fight they put up to stop the troops. The reason is that they planned the whle thing to protect that some of the things carried were for other purpose then to get by on. As always the activist all over are yelling. Let them cry.
Bull. You have no idea of their intent, other than the right on the high seas or elsewhere to defend themselves. You give the same empty BS that all supporters of Zionist Israel give and have for the past millennium and a half. The Israelis attacked and the people did what they could to defend themselves. Always, the IDF attacks the innocents and unarmed people.
You did not see Israelis IDF attack anybody !!!! YOU MUST BE TOTALLY BLIND !!! WATCH THAT FILM CLIP AT LEAST 10 MORE TIMES BECAUSE STEVY WONDER CAN EVEN FIGURE THAT ONE OUT !!! WHAT PLANET DO YOU ACTUALLY COME FROM !!!
