More on the "Free Gaza" movement

With reference to my last post,the blog site "Yes, But, However" has an interesting post this morning entitled Gaza Flotilla Story: More Accuracy from Hamas than the L.A. Times.

The post mentions a fact I didn't know:
A May 26th story posted on the official Hamas website, titled “Freedom Flotilla Turns Down Israeli Offers,” reads, “The Israeli government has proposed to the Freedom Flotilla to deliver its aid shipment to Gaza Strip via land route, Rami Abdo, member of the European committee to end the siege on Gaza and one of the organizers of the sea convoy, said on Tuesday. Abdo said that the offer was absolutely rejected by the organizers and participants.”

Of course, if Hamas had taken the Israelis up on their offer, they wouldn't have been able to include rockets and weapons among all the humanitarian goods, so of course they rejected the offer.

Just shows once again how biased the news media is. Apparently Antisemitism is far from dead, though it has gone underground masquerading as "news".
