About 25 years ago the Saudis bought an 18% interest in Reuters…. There is no mystery as to why

the photos were altered….

For a minute, I thought it was going to be Fox News with the Biased story.I
see that I jumped the gun. It was Reuters who did it.Reuters is a very old service, even had a movie about them with Ed.G.Robinson decades ago. Even the best change or get bought out & stop being news & START being Propaganda for one side or the other.
Sooner or later the Israelis will call”Strike Three” & they will shoot first & ask questions later,,or maybe not at all. What would you do if you were surrounded 11 to 1. I myself would never let any of them get off the first shot,,& claim self-defense. Don’t like it??,,sue me in the World Court,,,,good luck with that.

I wonder if any of the BHO pet networks picked up on the pic cropping.??

Someone needs to send Pat Buchanan the un-doctored photos. He was on Laura Ingraham’s show claiming that the flotilla thugs were unarmed (and singing Kumbaya, presumably).

Wow what a tempest in a teapot. Was the knife taken from the commando? Was it taken from the chef in the dining hall? Where’s the AK-47 or some other serious weapon if they were really going to repel the boarders which is what they had every right to do? The real hoax is the ‘official Israeli video’ with the splices and additions of all the seized footage from the passengers. Talk about self seving and one sided.

Very interesting. Last I heard the Rothchild family had purchased Reuters back in the 1800′s.

Very interesting I must say.

Reuters is no different than the AP, which is no different from the NY Times…

FNC in the past 18 months have broken 388 news stories, that is more than the Lamestream Media combined. If this is the same video posted on FNC’s web site, there are actually three people with knives all together.

Paul Julius Reuter founder of Reuters Financial News in 1851, when he moved to London from Brussels, and kept the company private till it went public in 1984, although no one holder of shares could be above 15% to any one entity, FNC went over that number when Rupert Murdoch bought an Australian News company which already had it’s limits of shares, of which caused FNC to have the extra holdings bought back from them to keep everyone at 15%. In the 1850′s only 10% of the Reuters was News, while they were 90% Financial, obviously that changed over the years, and is now primarily a News Organization.

Never-the-less, the Israeli photo cropping is not the first time they have been caught biased journalism, there have been many instances.

“Where’s the AK-47 or some other serious weapon if they were really going to repel the boarders which is what they had every right to do?”

A serious weapon is anything that can kill you, including the fists, rocks, and sticks that you saw passengers using against armed Israeli military personnel. Have you heard of the stoning execution method or head trauma? News flash: they are serious injuries that can kill you. I promise that any 12 year old or a mob can beat you to death no matter what weapon you’re holding.

Israel is a crack unit on the ground, but a crackpot navy power. It was stupid method to fastrope unconcealed, uncovered men totally unsecured, surrounded and outnumbered. The brave commandos adapted and overcame as best they could, but no one should have put them in that situation.

I will agree that Israel handled this like the one-step-up-from-3rd-world-status country that it is. But for free Anglo-Saxon money and support, Israel would be overrun by invaders in weeks and begging for IMF and World Bank handouts as often as any swarthy southern hemisphere wasteland.

Still, attacking military boarders is not a bright idea. Even Green Peace idiots manage not to fight military boarding parties. Israel had a right to enforce embargoes because this ship declared its destination as Israel. Israel was on losing-ground for making the stop in international waters. I won’t argue that Israel exaggerated the ships’ contents and outright lied about finding weapons per se.

These protesters were hell bent on violating Israel’s sovereignty. If the Israelis weren’t such incompetent, irrational hotheads, they could have been on the right side of this issue in every detail. Israel was right to deny the ships’ entry, but they botched it in terms of maritime law and PR. Except for some soldiers getting hurt, it’s laughably pathetic.
