Steve Horn's piece on the Gaza Flotilla debacle is very alarming given that it contains so many factual errors. It fails to acknowledge any link between IHH (the Freedom Flotilla) and islamic terrorist organisations - as established by independently by Turkey and the EU. It shows a very naive and false understanding of international law. It says IDF descendied on the ship shooting first. This is not true at all and IDF only fired a shot after they were mobbed, beaten with weapons, pushed off balconies and then eventually shot by activists on the ship. The article fails to note the significant cache of weaponry found by IDF on the ship or that there is around a hundred indepenednet videos on Youtube showing the peace activists on the ship prior to the boarding, chanting songs about destrying every Jew in the world via martyrdom. On camera when asked how he felt as they neared Gaza, one fo the activist leaders says ity is a very happy day because they will either get to Gaza or die as Martyrs. The article fails to note the hundreds of thousands of tonnes of aid that Israel sends into Gaza each week. If PR Watch is not an anti-zioinst and antisemitic media outlet, it should acknowledge these points in its coverage.
