*No one excels in post-Orwellian, war-is-peace newspeak as Israel. Not only the
Israeli commandos are being spun as the victims; the world is being subjected to
a complete Israeli-orchestrated news blackout. Nobody really knows how many
civilians were killed (nine, 19, 20? Mostly Turkish? Maybe two Algerians? Any
Americans or Europeans?) Nobody really knows if they were carrying "weapons".
Nobody really knows at what point the commandos freaked out (eyewitnesses tell
of people being killed in their sleep). All the several hundred passengers on
the flotilla - Muslims, Christians, diplomats, non-governmental organization
officials, journalists - have been de facto kidnapped by Israel. Nobody knows
where they are being held. Radio static rules. Only myriad Israeli
"spokespeople" control the word.*
