When discussing the Israeli propaganda in context of the Israeli assault on the Freedom Flotilla please ask the following questions:
• Why has Israel’s ‘right’ to board the ship is presumed as valid?
• Why it is usual to fail to mention that Israel’s siege of Gaza has been declared illegal by the UN? The assumption is that Israel has the right to blockade Gaza, while the motives of those attempting to break an illegal blockade were questioned.
• Why it is usual not to mention the bombs, rockets and white phosphorus dropped on Gaza by Israel during Operation Cast Lead over a three week period in 2008/9, killing 1,400 people? But it si usual to mention the ‘thousands of rockets’ fired from Gaza into Israel, but did not say over what time period.
• Why is the Israeli evidence of how and when they killed the activists unquestioned? Activists who were on the top deck of the ship say the first person was killed – shot from a helicopter – before any Israeli had even landed on the deck. However, none of these activists are interviewed.
• Activists shot footage of the Israeli attack, but their cameras, laptops and other recording equipment was taken by the Israelis and has not been returned. Why is this point not raise, or put to the Israeli spokespeople?
• Why are the autopsy reports – which reveal that each victim was shot several times at close range, in a way that can’t constitute self-defence – not used, or even mentioned?
• Why are there no footage of the Israeli assaults on the activists – which led to nine deaths?
• Why is the use of the word ‘terrorists’ to describe the activists, or their alleged willingness to attack the commandoes not questioned? Why does the fact that there were no fatalities or serious injuries among the Israeli commandoes, when these ‘terrorists’ were so willing to attack not quastioned?
• Why it is not pointed out that the IDF has admitted doctoring the audio footage used in its propaganda, and again and again it is claimed that it is a broadcast from the captain’s deck?
