The Der Stürmer of Our Times

“There was nothing on board those ships that constituted a threat to Israel’s security, so Binyamin Netanyahu’s argument that his troops were acting in self-defence has no validity. They should not have been there in the first place. The convoy was carrying construction materials, electric wheelchairs and water purifiers for Gaza’s people. This was recognised by the Israeli navy, who said in a statement that it had offered to transfer the aid by land to Gaza”

Two comments:

1) How could Israel possibly know that there was “nothing on board those ships that constituted a threat to Israel’s security” until the ships had been searched?

2) The Israeli navy had not recognised that the goods were harmless at all. They had asked that the ships dock at Ashdod where the goods would be inspected. Once it had been established that no harmful materials were in the ships’ cargoes the goods would then be transported to Gaza.

The Guardian’s lies are now so transparent and its rhetoric so incredibly inflammatory that there can be little doubt that its chief objective is the destruction of the Jewish state. It is in other words the Der Stürmer of our times, a truly evil newspaper.
