Makes you wonder how many times they've pulled this shit in the past and got away with it.
Last week, the Israel Defence Force had to issue a retraction over an audio clip it had claimed was a conversation between Israeli naval officials and people on the Mavi Marmara, in which an activist told soldiers to "go back to Auschwitz". The clip was carried by Israeli and international press, but today the army released a "clarification/correction", explaining that it had edited the footage and that it was not clear who had made the comment.
The Israeli army also backed down last week from an earlier claim that soldiers were attacked by al-Qaida "mercenaries" aboard the Gaza flotilla. An article appearing on the IDF spokesperson's website with the headline: "Attackers of the IDF soldiers found to be al-Qaida mercenaries", was later changed to "Attackers of the IDF Soldiers found without identification papers," with the information about al-Qaida removed from the main article. An army spokesperson told the Guardian there was no evidence proving such a link to the terror organisation.
Of course because, they never have any forces near Israel.
I'm not sure why anyone here would trust Israeli propaganda after they doctored the audio of the footage being released:

"Gaza officials have refused roughly 20 truckloads of aid confiscated from the "Freedom Flotilla," saying the goods were broken and that they would not accept goods while any flotilla activists were still detained"
maxblumenthal? LOL.
you did not respond to what i wrote, condemned all my sources as propaganda (including the AP article written by a frenchmen).
you dismiss mainstream reliable sources as propaganda
when you find some fringe blog you cite it like its the fucking Quran.
Max links to the press release. You saw that right?
How are you complaining about an article that links to the press release while you post JPost propaganda?
Time for you to face facts. IDF created a propaganda video.
Lie. I said JPost was propaganda and pointed out your claim didn't even match there's.
I did not call the other article propaganda. I contradicted it.
I did respond to everything you wrote.
No, JPost is not a mainstream reliable source. It's highly biased.
Are you calling this a fringe blog?
Once again you are unable to respond when confronted with facts.
Are you one of those hasbara/megaphone people?
you can't respond to facts
Ha. Oh, how the Mullahs would love sanctions, a way to deepen the control of their people and make them hate the west even more.
For the time being, Egypt is only allowing a restricted group of Gazans to leave the territory, including medical patients, students attending foreign universities and those with residency abroad. In nearly a week, thousands of Gazans have left and 500 tons of medical supplies were trucked in. It has done so before, sporadically and for a period limited to two or three days.
Egypt will not transfer large cargo shipments or construction material because the border crossing is designed primarily for travelers, the security official said. One such convoy, organized by Egypt's Islamic opposition movement, the Muslim Brotherhood, was stopped Monday before it got close to the border
Rather, the tin-pot dictatorship of Egypt has long been towing the line of Zionists, because they need the billions every year in aid we US taxpayers give them to do so. However, their conscious is apparently getting to them, albeit I'm sure this change in policy is largely because the flotilla massacre royally pissed their population off.Egypt is toeing a fine line of appeasement between the Muslims and Israel plus its own security.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To a point
Egypt is toeing a fine line of appeasement between the Muslims and Israel plus its own security. They do not trust the Hamas leadership at all it seems orare worried about problems with Israel that will either close the border or unleash a flood of Palestinians into Gaza that they do not want.
All this shows is the Common Courtesy is totally clueless.
Riddle me this Common Courtesy, why should any Arab nation take in a flood of penniless
Palestinian refuges?

Palestinian refuges? Now if Israel had not robbed the Palestinians of their former possessions, in terms of land, wealth and property, the Palestinians could have at least sold what the owned, and buy their way into surrounding Arab nations.
But because Israel damaged the Palestinians, its the position of every Arab nation that Israel makes them whole. What is wrong or illogical about that, especially by every liability law principle in the entire world.
Yet its the position of every Israeli fan clubber, that somehow, if no one else wants the penny less Palestinians, it excuses Israeli too.
When in reality the world is saying the Palestinians are an Israeli problem, Israel and only Israel must deal with FAIRLY. And all this flotilla problem shows is that tick tick Tick, Israeli must get off it dead butt very soon, or Israeli will have no say on how the rest of the world decides to solve a mid-east peace.
you're insane.I simply point out to you, if the USA has to choose between choosing the Turks or Israel, its a no brainer, the USA will take the Turks in a heart beat.
Common Courtesy, go peddle your how well it worked to former South African apartheid white supremacists, maybe they will buy it, but the Israeli position died on 5/31/2010, and if Israel wants to avoid that dope slap economic embargo, they better find some friends to avoid that economic embargo.
Only in the mind of a bigot. In reality, you bigots are behind that, with the help of a few Arab tyrants albeit.The Arabs damaged the Palestinians...

Besides, much of Northern isn't rightly Arab, but rather Berber. Granted, it's not surprising to see bigots conflate the two, or wipe Palestine off their maps.
