Israel Vindicated In Flotilla Raid

Somehow, the mainstream news media isn't spending as much energy reporting the truth as they did spreading the lie.

An Israeli inquiry into last year's deadly commando raid on a six-ship flotilla seeking to break the country's blockade of the Gaza Strip released its findings Sunday, exonerating the government, the military, and the soldiers involved in the incident — a report that comes as the flotilla's organizers prepare an even larger convoy for this spring.

The commission said that "the actions carried out by Israel on May 31, 2010, to enforce the naval blockade had the regrettable consequences of the loss of human life and physical injuries" but that "the actions taken were found to be legal pursuant to the rules of international law."
