Carol, you have been very open in your thoughts about the landing video being fake.

No I haven't. I posted a video that looked like it proved that the landing video was faked, but I retracted that when I realized that the differences in the ships could be accounted for by the fact that the Israeli video was taken using night vision technology.


Should we take it that you consider the bahaviour of the activists to have been so bad that the Israelis might have staged it to discredit them?

This makes no sense. If their behavior was so bad, the Israelis wouldn't have needed to stage it, would they? The Israelis would need to stage things if the behavior wasn't as bad as the Israelis want us to think it was. And there are still some questions I have based on the video I saw that purported to prove that the landing video was a fake. For instance, the Israeli who was being "thrown overboard". As they said in the video, it doesn't look so much like he's being thrown overboard as it does like he is being let down gently into a lifeboat. So don't have an opinion at this time about whether or not that video was in any way faked, but I do consider it a possibility.


The activists really were that vicious in their unprovoked attack on the boarding party.

The attack was not unprovoked. The Israelis fired first.


Just yesterday you were talking about six or more activists being missing. Do you stand by that?

I have seen different numbers being reported, so I have avoided putting any number. I have consistently said "several". I have not seen any reports that say they have been found. If you have, perhaps you will post them in this thread.


Do you now accept the the video you posted of Israelis shooting a helpless young activist shows no such thing.

Not until I get more information.


Are you aware that many people think that that the ladder scene shows red paintball strikes not blood, as you did at first?

Yes, but that doesn't make them right. And I thought that at first, too, after seeing the lower resolution video. Then I saw the video in a higher resolution and I could see the amount of the red fluid and the way it was running down the wall coming from an open hatch. Paint ball pellets don't behave in that way. This is how they behave. There is a round pattern with streaks radiating outward from a central spot. And they don't cover very much area.
