Report: NY Times, CNN, & CBS to Ride Along With Anti-Israel Gaza Flotilla

A correspondent for the liberal magazine The Nation is reporting that CNN and CBS have sent camera crews to join the new Gaza flotilla preparing to set sail from Greece in order to break an Israeli navy blockade. He also says he’s heard the New York Times has sent a reporter.

The messages came from Joseph Dana, who is in Greece and will be riding along with the flotilla, and his Twitter account:

Report: NY Times, CNN, & CBS to Ride Along With Anti Israel Gaza FlotillaReport: NY Times, CNN, & CBS to Ride Along With Anti Israel Gaza Flotilla

At first glance, it might not seem odd that major news outlets are supposedly sending crews to cover the flotilla considering the debacle that ensued when the previous one tried to break the blockade last year. But Commentary points out why this might be concerning:

While it’s hard to blame reporters for seeking out a colorful story, they should realize by joining the activists on the boat they are actually making themselves a part of the story. They will be with the flotilla when it attempts to violate international law by trying to break Israel’s legally-established naval blockade. And they could potentially interfere with the Israeli military’s ability to do its job if IDF soldiers are forced to board the ships.

[...]

But the unfortunate downside is these reporters are giving the flotilla activists exactly what they’re aiming for – media attention. Seeing as there’s no humanitarian reason for the flotilla (which is even more obvious now that the Egyptian border with Gaza has been opened), its only point is to generate publicity. The activists are sure to receive a lot of media coverage this time around – and they won’t even have to resort to stabbing soldiers to get it.

As an interesting side note, one of the boats in the flotilla group is called the “Audacity of Hope.”

    CNN, CBS, NY Times; all blind leading the blind. For all those who support the “humanitarian” efforts to “help” a people who are hell bent on distroying Israel, be warned. The Palestinian government (Hammas, etc,.) would destroy you too. Do you think that Progressive/Liberals will be immune to harm from such fiends? You will be among those who will be “re-educated“ or ”disappeared.”

    Israel is a soverign state. Palestinians are the immigrants here. As an American, if you think the Palestinians will stop with the elimination of Israel, YOU are sadly mistaken!

    If you value FREEDOM, if you believe that men and WOMEN should have the liberty to pursue an education, pursue the religion of your choice, or speak your mind (free speech), then YOU had better support Israel!!!

    The floatilla types should stop trying to force Israel to defend herself. She will. More power to her! Those supporters of this Gaza effort should re-examine what is really going on here.

    Progressives/Liberals: Do you think you will like living under a “law” which supports beatings, stonings, the rape of women (unless there ar 4 male witnesses)? Heaven forbid you get your wish!

    Israel would be well within it’s rights to mine the approaches. As a courtesy they should inform the ships of the mines and then if the ships continue knowing that the mines are there then it is on their heads. That would work on our borders as well. If you that there is a mine field and you walk into it anyway then there is only yourself to blame.

      Time Magazine gave the award in 1939. Maybe they should have visited Europe and talked to some of the 200,000 Jewish refugees of Austria before bestowing such an honor as “Man of the Year”. Had they done their due diligence they may have learned a thing or two.

      Nah, T….the Time journalists back then were Jew-hating anti-Semite bigots just as they are now. Glenn is right…history is repeating itself just as in the 1930s, right down to US journalists jumping right onto the “Jew-hater” bandwagon.

      It wasn’t until there were so many verified military eyewitness reports & photos of the concentration camps, ovens, gas chambers, and dead Jews showing up that it could no longer be denied that Hitler was engaging in genocide, and US citizens became horrified & disgusted, that Western/US journalists/newspapers of the day and those on the Left stopped their Jew-hating rhetoric.

      As to the mention of the Iranian subs possibly doing a false-flag op and sinking one of the “Floating Idiots” ships in order to blame it on Israel, I’d actually be more worried about what Obama might secretly order one of our OWN subs or stealth-bombers to do!

      Time has explained many times that it does not choose its Man of the Year on the basis of his good works! FDR’s greatest impact would probably have been in 1933 (when he initiated the New Deal), 194! (not for Pearl Harbor but for his final decision to aid Britain) or 1943 (when he made the deal with Stalin which he confirmed in greater detail later at Yalta and gave a firm commitment to invade Normandy the following year).

      They wont be able to show much footage because they wont want to show the Palestinians wielding tire irons, machetes and pipes while screaming death to America, death to Israel. That would be bad PR. Maybe they would show the footage but bud in different voices saying “Help Help we’re being repressed!”

      It is only important to stop the boat before it enters Israeli waters. They do not have to board, sink, just disable the steerage or propeller. Fish nest with heavy steal cables floated into the path of the boat so that it is sucked into the propellers. This can be done with small high speed boats, C4 transport planes even helicopters. Then use tugs boats to keep them out of Israeli waters. Stand back and let them scream. No Israeli troops in harms way.

      With or without Israeli intervention, these journalists will give us a good look at the flotilla passengers and crew, showing us for the first time what sort of people they are.

      Naturally both the flotilla people and the journalists will put their own spin on the proceedings, but it will be better than the sort of he-said-she-said accounts we’ve had previously.

      wow. not real bright.

      If the floatilla DOES refuse to dock as ordered, they will face military action.

      Does the media really want to be in a confined space and face military action?

      An incoming missile could be the last thing caught on camera.

      Or, maybe they are SIDING against Israel, and this is their effort to insulate the floatilla from military action.

      “follow the money”

      These floatillas are not designed to provide humanitarian support.
      True humanitarian support is already able to enter ports.
      The standard of living does not necessitate humanitarian support.

      The floatillas are designed to:
      1) sneak in military attacks, weapons, etc.
      2) raise public opinion against Israel
      3) break public support of Israel
      4) create a procedural hole which will allow FUTURE attacks, smuggling of weapons/terrorists, etc.
      Or some combination thereof.

      Israel should not be happy with media placing themselves in harms way – this could limit Israel’s options. But then again, Israel may be brave enough NOT to take the media’s presence into consideration. In which case the media better watch out!

      just another NWO plan to kill as many people as possible.

      The correlation between higher numbers of vaccines and infant mortality figures takes on an altogether
      more sinister
      context when we consider the fact that during the February 2010 TED conference,
      Bill Gates, an enthusiastic
      proponent of vaccination programs, openly stated that vaccines should be used

      to lower global population

      in the pursuit of reducing CO2 emissions.

      Gates is an avowed eugenicist
      who is committed to drastically reducing the world’s population

      in the name of combating global warming. This is alarming given the fact that the

      Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation funds the production and distribution of vaccines to the third world
