i don´t know who brooks is but i subscribe 100% to the quote you posted. maybe if you followed the european media you would know what double standard he´s referring to. i hear it´s different in the states. even when before they built the wall, when the buses still exploded, the reporting was biased against israel. but it´s gotten worse since then, djenin, the lebanon war from a couple of years back, the recent gaza invasion. the world media (i guess that´s what he´s referring to) are definetely not reporting the events in a neutral fashion. one could argue about the reasons behind the bias, but it´s there, definitely. he´s right.
- how can one be biased about something that's wrong? when it's wrong, it's wrong...pretty simple.

also, by "world slow to anger" the mealy minded pundit is probably not referring to the US + the willing. clears things up for you maybe.

"large metal objects" and molotov cocktails are sticks and stones compared to the weapons at IDFs disposal. What they did is the equivalent to using live fire at angry protestors. And on neutral ground to make matters worse!

Guy at left, at 2:41 doesn't look like IDF Special Ops. Appears to be wielding gun.

he's probably one of teh two the the IDF already said took weapons from soldiers.
"The violent activists took these pistols from IDF forces and apparently opened fire on the soldiers as evident by the empty pistol magazines."

bit pissed but i rad it as 'isreal attacks acid ship' - yo!

The IDF spin is fascinating. do they not expect people to resist the IDF aggression?
""Those who met the Israeli army personnel with knifes are not peace advocates, they are not harmless.
"There is a simple military explanation: when these people take a weapon from one of the Israeli soldiers and start shooting, then the Israeli soldiers have the right to defend themselves." "

Just so I am up to speed on this, the story is that the IDF dropped from helicopter gunships onto unarmed ships on a humanitarian mission in international waters dressed in black, wearing masks, and carrying machine guns, and someone attacked them?
Is that the story?

So what is the IDF's spin on the story today?

- i'm just asking for their opiniion.
And the Israelig gvnmt is acting like the old reich.tank - btw i'm NOT talking about jewish people. I'm talking about Israeli government.tank

So they had no lethal weapons when the rappelled down on the boat.........and then they climbed up again to get the weapons that killed the 19 aid workers?

I think most of the peeps posting the outrageous anti-semetic stuff are agent provocateurs to distract from actual criticism of the Israeli state policy. Nice work...
Meanwhile, Turkey for one has had enough:
"Israel's behavior should definitely, definitely be punished," a visibly angry Erdogan told a meeting of his parliamentary deputies, adding: "The time has come for the international community to say 'enough'."

Ireland is officially supporting another aid ship, leaving for Israel today:
"The MV Rachel Corrie, a converted merchant ship bought by pro-Palestinian activists and named after an American woman killed in the Gaza Strip in 2003, set off Monday from Malta, organizers said. "We are an initiative to break Israel's blockade of 1.5 million people in Gaza. Our mission has not changed and this is not going to be the last flotilla," Free Gaza Movement activist Greta Berlin, based in Cyprus, told Reuters.
Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen described the vessel as Irish-owned and said it should be allowed to finish its mission. The ship was carrying 15 activists including a northern Irish Nobel Peace laureate."
I think this little gamesmanship playing schtick that Israel has gotten away with for 50+ years is about past it's due date and the bill is about to come due.
- mossad's gonna disable the ship in cyprus, like they did with 2 of the recent flotilla.bigtrickagain

- i love teh fact they included the sharpener from he kitchen on the leftlowimpakt
- So a fish fileting knife justifies 5.56mm of love and affection, I guess.Continuity
- Love the fact that they put the "weapons" on an Islamic inscription with arab head scarf for added menace...Khurram
- @continuity - those soldiers should have just asked nicely of the nice aid workers to stop repeatedly stabbing themadded_valium
- Maybe those soldiers should have stayed home instead of acting like pirates in int'l waters.Continuity
- i agree with you on that. but if you're gonna stab an armed soldier - expect some bullets coming your wayadded_valium
- I'm still waiting for evidence of said 'stabbings'. Those videos are anything but convincing.Continuity
- seriously added valium, most of this knifes, look like they came out of the kitchen, still don't see anything illegal theregeorgesIII
