A Must See Video

Here is a must see video from the Commond Dreams website of an interview with Huwaida Arraf and Norman Finkelstein by Grit TV. I believe Huwaida is a reporter for Grit TV and was with the flotilla. Please watch this video. It reminds you why the flotilla was doing what it was doing. That they were unarmed (contrary to the Israeli claim). That all media was taken from the passengers usually after a good beating where most did not resist.

If we don't need to be concerned about what is happening in Gaza, why doesn't Israel let the Gazan's tell their own story? Again, BAI's (belligerently anti-intellecuals), what are the Israeli's trying to hide? What is Israel trying to hide that is actually happening in Gaza and other Palestinian territories? Why doesn't the alleged mainstream media talk about the Palestinian side of the story? Shouldn't the media be telling the whole story? Wouldn't it be considered propaganda and not news if only part of the story is told? Why isn't the mainstream talking about the other side of the story about the flotilla? Could it be that the media is protecting our friends in Israel like President Johnson did when 34 U.S. naval personnel were murdered with a torpedo because they were spying on war crimes the Israeli's were committing during the Six Day War on board the U.S.S. Liberty? Johnson said he could have cared less if all the sailors on board the Liberty were killed as long as the Israeli nation state was protected from the crimes it was committing. Is the media protecting the friend of the U.S. government, Israel, from having to face justice for their crimes against humanity? Of course, the U.S. commits vast amounts of crimes against humanity and to look at one criminal may point folk to look at the others.

Let me point out again, there were no barrel flashes from rifle fire coming from the Israeli guns as they were being defended against by a few activists on that ship. This should tell you that the shots were not fired after being attacked by folk with rods. The Israeli government released and sanctioned videos the world is being supplied and has control of all the other video and recorded information. Could it be that the defenders were actually outraged at having seen their friends murdered, or family murdered, and were thus trying to protect others from being murdered? I'm just pointing out the obvious.
