Gaza Flotilla Group's Ties to Terrorism and the UN

Please click the link in the title and read the full story.  Fox News seems to be the only major news organization doing any serious reporting on this.  Why is CNN not reporting the flotilla's known links to terrorist organizations? The IHH (the "charity" sponsoring the last flotilla) openly supports Hamas, whose charter expressly calls for the destruction of Israel, and the CIA and Israeli intelligence have also linked it to Al Qaeda. Why is it not being reported that the IHH operates freely and without restriction as part of the UN's NGO branch? Why is it not being reported that the flotilla's expressed intention was not to provide humanitarian assistance, but to specifically breach the 100% internationally legal naval blockade and incite exactly the response they got from Israel. Why is it not being reported that at least one of the "activists" aboard the ship wrote a letter declaring he was ready to martyr himself?


We have to ask ourselves, why are the so-called Western "democracies" of the world denouncing Israel, the only other Western-style democracy in the Middle-East, conveniently overlooking the reasons behind the incident, as well as the evidence which clearly and unequivocally shows the "activists" on board weren't peaceful at all.  They attacked the commandos with steel pipes, chairs, rocks, firebombs, etc., and even threw one commando overboard before a single Israeli shot was fired.  If these activists were so peaceful, why did none of this occur on any of the other ships in the floatilla and not just the one which was sponsored by a terrorist funding - *ahem* - I mean, charity organization.  Does Israel not have a right to defend itself when attacked?  Was not the naval blockade recognized as legal under existing international law?  Was not the blockade jointly enforced by Egypt as well?  Did not Israel offer to deliver all humanitarian supplies itself after first screening the cargo?  Would not we do exactly the same thing, if not react even more severely, under the same circumstances?


What's wrong with us?
