Gaza-Desaster
Sicherlich ist es noch zu früh, das Debakel vor der Küste Gazas restlos beurteilen zu können, aber es sollte zu denken geben, warum die Hilfsflotille es offenbar ablehnte, ihre Güter über den von Israel angebotenen Landweg zu transportieren.
Derweil entscheidet die Hamas den Informationskrieg für sich: “People are so busy tweeting into a vacuum to themselves not realizing the new phenomenon of “top tweets” and how HAMAS is dominating there.”

Die türkischen Zollbehörden bestreiten, dass Waffen an Bord der Flotille gewesen seien:
–––Officials from the Customs Directorate said all passengers that boarded the Mavi Marmara ship were screened and that not a single passenger was in possession of any weapon. Forty-two passengers boarded in Istanbul and 504 passengers got on the ship here. They were screened. We spotted no weapons and there is no such record in our logs. We did not notice anything suspicious about the Mavi Marmara. Had our officers had any suspicions, they would have reported it, an official, speaking under the condition of anonymity, said.
