BBC’s flotilla film slammed as ‘biased’
[There was no "Israeli navy's violent attack on six ships. First five ships allowed inspection, had humanitarian aid to distribute and were allowed to move on. Only the Mavi Marmara did not have any humanitarian aid on it. What it had, it was Turkish nationals and others who had prepared themselves to attack the Israeli navy when they embarked to inspect that ship.
The videos taken by the passengers themselves on that ship show that no "massacre" or anything like it occurred. What happened was that when the Navy boarded the ship, they were attacked and had to defend themselves.
