As Kiwi Heads Home: IDF "Gaza Flotilla Weapons" Photos From 2006/03?
Claims by the Israeli Defence Force that photos show items found on board the attacked Gaza flotilla are inconsistent with data recorded by the cameras in some of the image files.
[Updated: Photos time-stamped '2006' and '2010' appear to both contain the same saw/grinder, which supports the explanation that the discrepancy is due to incorrect date settings on the cameras.] More>>

New
Zealand: Gordon Campbell On The Need For New Zealand To
Condemn The Gaza Blockade
The Israeli attack on the Turkish aid convoy to
Gaza, and its subsequent slaughter of the civilians on board
is being condemned around the world.
That the commando raid was mounted in order to prevent the delivery of medical aid, building supplies and other humanitarian assistance to the inhabitants of Gaza is particularly repulsive.
The
Israeli blockade in the wake of its late 2008/early 2009
military offensive has caused the Gazan economy to collapse
– leaving some 70% of Gazans to subsist, as the Guardian
reports, on less than $1 a day, with 75% now reliant on food
aid and 60% having no daily access to water. More>>
