Close-Up Footage of Mavi Marmara Passengers Attacking IDF Soldiers

Unfortunately, this is going to be another in a long line of bad press problems for Israel. The story being told is that Israel attacked a flotilla providing humanitarian aid.
However, Israel tried to peacefully enforce its blockade of Gaza, and as the above video shows, the “peace activists” attacked first. As usual, Israeli forces cannot defend themselves without accusations of terrorism or similar acts.
Biden Scolds Israel Again

With all due respect Mr. Vice President, who the hell do you think you are? Peace is not achieved through the giving up of land, and regardless of how much of a super power the U.S. is, the United States has no right to tell the government of another country where they can and cannot build within the confines of their own territory.
I realize that big brass ring labeled “Peace In The Middle East” has been enticing Presidents for decades (Bush promised a Palestinian state by the end of ’08 in a last-ditch to have that as his legacy), but seriously, Israel giving up half of Jerusalem and going to the 1948 borders won’t end anything. As long as there’s a Jewish state in the Middle East, that state’s neighbors will cause trouble.

Welcome To Pallywood: CNN Stands Behind Staged Video

The video in question:
CNN’s response: Gaza video genuine, journalists say
The obvious criticism would be the pantomimed CPR. However, the article linked above claims the kid was hit in the head by shrapnel. Unless the cameraman has done an excellent job of covering it, the child has no wound on his head!
Welcome to Pallywood…

Media Bias: Al Jazeera's Coverage Of The War In Gaza (Shocking, I know)
January 1, 2009 by View Comments
From The Jerusalem Post:
The images broadcast on the Arab satellite network Al-Jazeera since the start of Israel’s operation are graphic and at times, seemingly uncensored.
Specifically, al Jazeera is repeatedly showing a clip of two dead children that hides nothing but their faces. It’s unfortunate that these children are dead, and I do think it’s the media’s job to report on war as a whole and not function as the propaganda arm of the government, but there comes a point when an organization is showing an obvious bias, and repeatedly showing uncensored corpses of the same children over and over is al Jazeera’s point.
Not that obvious bias on the part of this organization should shock anyone…

Neo-Nazi Holocaust Deniers Take Power In Austria
September 27, 2008 by View Comments
Sunday’s Austrian election could mean a break in diplomatic relations between Israel and Austria if extreme right-wing parties enter a coalition government. Heinz-Christian Strache, who leads the Freedom Party, took part in paramilitary activities with neo-Nazis in the late 1980s and has been known to use the Nazi salute.
Quite simply, this is just a sign of the times. The further we get from the time of Nazi Germany, the closer we get to its beliefs.
