Subject: RE: BS: New Israeli atrocity: attack on Gaza aid
Carol, some peole have questioned the authenticity of the landing video because the ship's painted name does not show up. It is a thermal imagery video. It appears in black and white only, and the only contrast is between objects at different temperatures. Any slight temperature difference due to different colour paints would be cancelled out by the heat conducting metal underneath.
The ship is recognisably the M Marmara, and you can match scenes with those captured by activists cameras.
It is genuine, but you and Lox thought the activists behaviour so bad that the Israelis might have staged it! They did not need to.
