To Shabbos Jones & InfoWhores: NY Times confirms Israel started hostilities on flotilla!

The NY Times Jerusalem Bureau Chief, whose objectivity was cast into doubt because his son actively serves in the IDF, has just published a detailed article on the flotilla massacre.

The second paragraph jumps off the page:

The crack of an Israeli sound grenade and a hail of rubber bullets from above were supposed to disperse activists, but instead set them into motion. And when three Israeli commandos slid down ropes out of helicopters to take over the ship, a crowd set upon them.

The “newspaper of record” (of all places!) finally cuts through all hasbara coming out of the IDF Press Office and Israeli Foreign Ministry.

The activists did NOT attack first (something that anyone listening to any eyewitnesses other than the IDF already knew). The commandos shot stun grenades and rubber bullets from above. Only THEN did the activists attack them after they descended.

Israel’s entire claim to “self-defense”, as preposterous as it ever was, is now sunk at sea.

Let the war crimes investigation and prosecution begin. Israel MUST be held accountable. Our collective humanity depends critically upon it.

Obama wants Israel to investigate themselves. Hopefully they at least lost some public support though from doing this.

BTW do you notice how Jones and people like Jim Tucker have been promoting that 'the Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg are pushing for war with Iran'? And then they give no evidence for it, they just say that that's what 'inside sources' have been saying? Does this seem like a possible attempt to obfuscate the fact that it's Zionists and their bought off allies in the government that are primarily the ones behind the push rather than 'the globalists' per se? Cause in Jones' latest article he implies that Brezinski is one of the main ones pushing for it but in the media he's constantly saying it's a bad idea. While Zionists like Lieberman openly call for it.
