Glad to see PCR he has spoken forth via CounterPunch!.
<<Americans will never hear from the US media that Turkey’s prime minister Erdogan declared that the aid ships were carefully inspected before departure from Turkey and that there were no terrorists or arms aboard: "I want to say to the world, to the heads of state and the governments, that these boats that left from Turkey and other countries were checked in a strict way under the framework of the rules of international navigation and were only loaded with humanitarian aid.">> And that will be so:( And. what i call virtual the near despair that was in his "GoodBye" column still sounds out here << Americans, and their Western European puppet states and the puppet state in Canada, will be persuaded by the servile media to buy the story fabricated by Israeli propaganda that the humanitarian aid ships were manned by terrorists bringing weapons to the Palestinians in Gaza, and that the terrorists posing as humanitarians attacked the force of Israeli commandos with two pistols, clubs, and knives. Many Americans will swallow this story without a hiccup.>>
The big crisis will come if Turkey carries out its' stated intention to have a 2nd flotilla that flies the Turkish Flag, but this time it will be accompanied by Turkish WarShips.
The Israeli Newspapers are even saying the Israeli/Turkish alliancee is shattered, and forever. And no amount of Israeli Lies passed on via the U.S. media can change that. Israel has blatantly spit in Turkey's face , an act that Gideon Levy labelled as insane STUPIDITY on Israel's part.
This Flottilla was filled with the creme de la creme of the movement for peace and humanitarianism, and the charge they were terrorist is Goebbelsian in this latest Israel Big Lie belching out its efficient propaganda machine. i, btw, just checked to see if i had created a word with "goebbelsian"---and on googling see it is already well established--i got 13,000 returns on searching Google.
