The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal and Wyatt Reed break down one of the most cynical instances of disinformation this year, explaining how Israeli football hooligans were given free reign to rampage through Amsterdam, attacking the Dutch police and citizens, and bellowing genocidal chants, before being portrayed by Western leaders as innocent pogrom victims when locals fought back.
Democracy Now! Eleven peace activists and one journalist on board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla ship, the "Madleen," were detained by Israeli soldiers as their ship carrying vital humanitarian aid for starving Palestinians approached Gaza. The ship was intercepted by Israeli forces in the middle of the night in international waters. Its supplies were seized and communications jammed. The unarmed activists will likely be transported to Israeli detention or "immediately deported," says Ann Wright, a U.S. military veteran who has participated in four Freedom Flotilla journeys and now serves on the steering committee of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. She calls on citizens of countries around the world to push for the activists' release and an end to Israel's war on Gaza.
