Aid to Gaza, Lies & Videotape: Zionist Propaganda Falls Apart with the Slightest Inquiry
As many of you know, the state of Israel boarded the recent humanitarian mission to Gaza, killed several people on board, injured others, hijacked the boats and subsequently took all 700 people to a prison facility in southern Israel. These are the facts of the matter.
Ever since the event a plethora of lies, justifications and paramoralistic nonsense has been spouted from the mouths of the Israeli authorities and American Talking Heads. The biggest of all, and most easily disprovable, is that the flotilla contained weapons bound for Gaza to be used against Israeli's.
Israel has posted pictures of weapons and war material that they 'confiscated' from the freedom flotilla, unfortunately anyone with two-firing neurons and a computer can see that the pictures were taken in 2003 and 2006.
Further, the boats were inspected at their points of departure in Greece and Turkey. An independent security firm was also hired to verify the lack of weapons. Everyone boarding was searched, and additionally, the Turkish government performed background checks on all Turkish passengers to make sure there were no extremists present.
Another lie being peddled is that the commandos were somehow defending themselves from the passengers. This is utter nonsense, Israel had their commandos attack the boat to forcibly gain control. They brought guns, knives, and tasers aboard and used deadly force to subdue anyone attempting to resist their hijacking. They killed 19 people in the process, wounded more and terrorized them all. If there were terrorists on the seas they wore IDF uniforms. Eyewitnesses confirm that even prior to boarding, the flotilla was fired upon. This version of events is even confirmed by a member of the Israeli Knesset, Haneen Zoubi, who was on the Mavi Marmara.
The international community was quick to see this attack for what it is, and condemnation rang from across Europe through the middle east. It seems that only the US and her talking heads are unable or unwilling to see the truth.
This brings me to Obama's response, shrill, impotent and demonstrating subservience to his true masters, he wants to 'wait for more information' and to give Israel time to properly investigate... as if Israel is capable of investigating her own crimes. Perhaps we should put BP in charge of investigating their own culpability, or Goldman-Sachs theirs... Perhaps Timothy McVeigh should have been the judge and jury at his own trial... again, more rife nonsense.
This article brings up an excellent point, and I want to give you a brief mental exercise to illuminate just how backward the situation is. Imagine, for a moment, that Iran occupied a Jewish portion of her state, that she brutally attacked it every two years, viciously murdered men, women and children... and now an international convoy was attempting to break the Iranian strangle-hold on the Jewish territory by providing aid supplies. Simply take the exact above scenario and replace Israel with Iran... can you imagine the outrage?
I can, and I think it really strikes the core of this issue. As long as Israel is a protectorate and beneficiary of the US it can do no harm. As long as zionism has a grip on the mainstream media, we'll always have talking heads regurgitating lies and spouting nonsense to justify murder and state-sponsored terrorism.
The Truth will offer us protection and power, but finding it isn't easy, and we must remember to speak it loudly and often.
Update: The Rachel Corrie, another ship that was set to go to Gaza but couldn't due to mechanical problems (likely sabotage) is continuing its trip toward Gaza. It's also become clear that the Israeli raid on the Freedom Flotilla was not authorized by the proper government channels which raises the question - who authorized it? Rahm Emmanuel also met with Netanyahu on May 26th and 27th, which begs the question what did the US know, or sanction ahead of time?
If you haven't already I strongly suggest you contact your senators, house reps, and the white house and show your support for the peace activists and urge them to push for an end to the blockade of Gaza. All it takes is a quick email, a phone call or filling out a web form. Make your voice heard!
