This wasn't an inspection. They attacked the ship in an attempt to take it over.
"The crack of an Israeli sound grenade and a hail of rubber bullets from above were supposed to disperse activists, but instead set them in motion. "

Damn, that's about the phoniest video I've seen in a while. It's like they didn't even try to create believable propaganda. "Go Back to Auschwitz…Don’t Forget 9/11"
Israeli propagandists are funny. I can't believe some people fall for this crap.
Here's the real one:

Not as much drama.

Both. The real video has less dram than the fake propaganda video AND the Israelis did take over all the ships.
I'm not sure why those would be mutually exclusive.

aww, those poor israelis, getting slighted by the press AGAIN!
Awww..those poor aid workers...bringing pipes to a gunfight. As I see it, they had choices. They chose wrong. If they hadn't attacked the Israeli's with pipes, they would've been searched...again, legal...and then either passed on through, or turned back. Bottom line is that they had no right to enter Israeli waters without permission. You happen to be confusing 'illegal' with 'unethical'.

All your facts are wrong. Israel has admitted to attacking the ship first before they even further attacked it by dropping commandos from helicopter. The passengers defended their ship.
No, there was to be no search. The commandos were to commandeer the ship, not search. The blockade is illegal.
Finally, they were not in Israeli waters but international waters.
So you're wrong on three counts here.
Who is lying to you? I want names.

Aw, those poor, defensless "aid workers"
It seems that Reuters has been caught, still one more time, editing pictures for content.
They cropped out of a picture the knife, with a combat blade, held in the hand of an "aid worker" and which had been used to stab the Israeli commando lying on the deck.
To say that they had only clubs, pipes, and kitchen knives is a lie.

Reuters Admits Cropping Photos of Ship Clash, Denies Political Motive
By Ed Barnes
Published June 08, 2010 | FOXNews.com

The British-based Reuters news agency has been stung for the second time by charges that it edited politically sensitive photos in a way that casts Israel in a bad light. But this time Reuters claims it wasn’t at fault.
The news agency reacted to questions raised by an American blogger who showed that Reuters' photo service edited out knives and blood traces from pictures taken aboard the activist ship Mavi Marmara during a clash with Israeli commandos last week. Nine people were killed and scores were injured in the clash.
The pictures of the fight were released by IHH, the Turkish-based group that sponsored the six-ship fleet that tried to break Israel's blockade of Gaza.
In one photo, an Israeli commando is shown lying on the deck of the ship, surrounded by activists. The uncut photo released by IHH shows the hand of an unidentified activist holding a knife. But in the Reuters photo, the hand is visible but the knife has been edited out.
The blog “Little Green Footballs” challenged Reuters' editing of the photo.
“That’s a very interesting way to crop the photo. Most people would consider that knife an important part of the context. There was a huge controversy over whether the activists were armed. Cropping out a knife, in a picture showing a soldier who’s apparently been stabbed, seems like a very odd editorial decision. Unless someone was trying to hide it,” the blog stated.
In a second photo the unedited print issued by IHH showed blood along the ship's railing and a hand holding a knife as an Israeli soldier lies on the deck. Both the blood and the knife were missing in the photo that Reuters released.
Reuters on Tuesday denied it intended to alter the political meanings of the photographs.
“The images in question were made available in Istanbul, and following normal editorial practice were prepared for dissemination which included cropping at the edges," the news agency said in a statement. "When we realized that a dagger was inadvertently cropped from the images, Reuters immediately moved the original set as well."
Reuters has yet to respond to charges about the second photo.
This is the second time Reuters has been accused of manipulating photos. In 2006 a Reuters photographer, Adnan Hajj, doctored several photos of the destruction caused by Israel's bombing of Beirut. In one he added smoke to a panoramic picture of South Beirut to make the damage look more severe than it was. In a second photo, he showed a woman whose home had supposedly been destroyed in the same raid, but an investigation revealed that the woman's house had been destroyed prior to the Israeli strike.
Reuters later removed all of Hajj's more than 900 photos from distribution and severed its relationship with him. A photo editor also was fired.
What happened on the Mavi Marmara and who was responsible for the killing and bloodshed on the ship is still a matter of debate. Activists charge that Israeli commandos fired first and provoked the skirmish. Israeli commandos say they were compelled to use deadly force after they were attacked by people on board the ship.

Even worse the Israeli IDF has been caught editing tapes for propaganda...

I don't see anything that shows it wasn't from the ships other than criminals saying 'we didn't do it". Editing for time is not unethical.
how's your "scientific consensus" working out for you? How s that "everyone wants "commie-care" working out for you also? LMAO
I hope you have a Che T-shirt, you ought to wear it when shit finally hits the fan.

Israel got busted lying and doctoring tapes.
Pretty well, weird change of subject though.
Healthcare reform you mean? That went pretty well too.
Thats' one of those phrases Stormfronters use all the time. Have you been hangin around over there?

Come on now. That is just desperate. One could ask about your familiarity with the website as well.
Common phraseology across the full spectrum of political ideology.
Specious posting looking for legitimacy. Won't find it here.

LOL. A bunch of dumb asses tried to run a legal blockade and died in the process. I think we need more dumb asses to try to it.
As far as I'm concerned: Since Israel spilled blood during war to take the land, and since there has been no surrender since that time, Israel should just keep it and tell the islamoterrorist to kick rocks.
I love how so many anti-semites liberals defend the terrorist. Butt hurt much?

Oh, I check it out all the time. It's fascinating how often the right and the stormfronters are in constant agreement.
Sure, it's a common phrase. It's used constantly by the Stormfronters to talk about some future uprising they're planning. When I see it elsewhere I notice. Not that RM is a stormfronter...I'm just making weird connections like Glenn Beck does.

Ilegal blockade. I agree though, more ships should do it and they are.
The terrorists would be the ones firing on a humanitarian ship. Also, confusing disagreeing with Israel with anti-semitism is a common mistake you seem to have fallen into.
Yeah, I don't have anything against Jews. Confusing disagreeing with Israel with anti-semitism is a common mistake you seem to have fallen into.
Some of the stormfronters don't have a problem with Jews. I wonder what percentage of them do. How else do you think you are different from stormfronters?
This is interesting.
