WTF is Happening in Eastern Mediterranean?

Differeing accounts of Greek-flagged (?) ship being stopped by US Navy, Cyprus authorities, Isreali Navy, seized (?)...

Why is this not being covered by any major news sources?

Are we getting objective news in USA--or just pretty news?

"Gaza has been under Israeli blockade since 2007, when Hamas gained control of the government. The Free Gaza Movement has breached the blockade five times since August 2008."

And the Israeli's wonder why these people shoot rockets and give their lives.

Neither - our "work" TV takes turns on all the major news stations and they're nothing but tabloids anymore. But is it the news that drives the public, or the public that drives the news? I see it more to the latter, but not completely absent of the former, as it is more a reflection of society, which is a sad affair to say the least in so many ways.

No, no. He needs a tinfoil hat; the aliens are obviously getting to his brain.

I have to disagree, pickel... Gaza is under blockade BECAUSE people incessently shot rockets and acted as suicide bombers, and other agressions and threats against israel's existence, including the six day war. This is a determined enemy of israel and the jews, and crying foul for the agressions they started is ludicrous.

From my perception of history, the lands which are now the Israeli state were relieved from the previous owners quite illegally and with outside help, had the power to retain control. And we never ambushed the British way back when.
