…about the Gaza flotilla. Finally, a full rundown on the flotilla incident from an official IDF spokesperson, including who was on the boats, what they were carrying (only three of the six had “humanitarian aid,” if you can call expired medicine “aid”) and the IDF’s message to humanitarians and those who wish to donate goods to Gaza over and above the 100-160 trucks of food, medicine, hygiene products, and summer camp supplies that enter Gaza daily. There has been no end of criticism of Israel’s PR apparatus after this fracas, but this well-digested, calm overview of the goals of the Israeli Navy’s operations against the “Freedom Flotilla” (the one carrying terrorists with cash stuffed in their pockets) and the “Rachel Corrie” several days later (that just bore dreamy humanitarians), as well as a rundown of Gaza’s situation, gives the viewer the facts: no raised voices, no screaming for blood and, well, decidedly humdrum. Definitely not the stuff of a typical media report.
