After a complete inspection of ships and yachts involved in the operation, it emerged that the entire load of “aid” barely amounted to two tons, scattered between 42 boats. This is equivalent to less than one tenth of the content of a single rescue truck.
Have you ever wondered if a script written on the table is hidden behind certain “humanitarian missions”? This is what emerges from the last story of the Global Sumud Flotillarenamed in Israel “Hamas-Flotilla”. Presented as a peaceful initiative to bring aid to Gaza, it proved to be an operation of pure political propaganda, orchestrated with opaque funds, false maps and media narratives designed to accuse Israel of crimes that has not committed. The forty boats directed to the strip were intercepted during the Yom Kippur: no one transported food, medicines or health material. Only flags, slogans and cameras ready to filter the “repression”. The Israeli Foreign Ministry has released an official video: the spokesperson Dean Elsdunne, On board one of the ships, it shows empty bridges and explains that “there is no trace of any humanitarian help”. According to Elsdunnethe total absence of useful loads shows that “the goal was not to help Gaza’s civilians, but to cause Israel in front of the cameras”. It is not surprising that the so -called flotilla, presented as a humanitarian mission, has rejected all the offers of Israel, Italy And Greece to peacefully land aid intended for Gaza in one of the ports of the region. After a complete inspection of ships And yacht involved In the operation, it emerged that the entire load of “aid” He barely amounted to two tons, scattered between 42 boatsthe. This is equivalent to less than one tenth of the content of a single rescue truck.
To understand disproportion:
• A single aid truck who enters daily Gaza transports about 20 tons of essential goods;
• Every day, through i controlled passes, they pass on average 300 trucks loaded with humanitarian supplies. Numbers that radically reduce the propaganda narrative of the flotilla, revealing how the operation had more a media objective than humanitarian.
The node of funding
Behind the so -called “humanitarian fleet” a complex network of NGO, foundations And Legated associations to the Muslim brotherhood and to Hamas. According to dossiers collected by European and Israelis services, part of the funds would prove from accounts attributable to charitable organizations based in Türkiye and in United Kingdomalready finished under investigation to support radical groups. A diplomatic source a Jerusalem Thus summarizes the picture: «The money comes from parallel channels, screens from acronyms that are presented as humanitarian. In reality, they finance propaganda against Israel and the media machine that revolves around the flotilla ». A new video, circulated in the last few hours, strengthens this reconstruction. A woman infiltrated undercover has recorded internal meetings and conversations between activists: «They are resumed while admitting that it is only an operation of public relations and that their financing comes from Hamas and from the Muslim brotherhood ». The authentic movie, relaunched online, completely disassembles the narrative of the peaceful mission.
The bale of the grazard in international waters
One of the cornerstones of the propaganda of the Flotilla It is the denunciation of having been “bought in international waters”. An accusation that, at first glance, may seem credible, but which does not hold up to a technical and legal analysis. Since 2007, Israel has notified the United Nations The creation of a maritime interdiction area off the coast of Gaza, up to 20 nautical miles from the coast, to prevent the traffic of weapons towards the militias of Hamas. This block is recognized by international law and falls within the security measures provided for in the article 51 of the UN card. According to the radar and GPS data published by the Israeli Navy, The interception took place inside the interdiction area, between 15 and 18 nautical miles from Gaza. The AIS tracks of several flotilla ships confirm that they were directed towards a port subjected to embargo, deliberately violating maritime restrictions. Jerusalem He also released the official coordinates and radio notices sent to the crews, who were ignored. The operation, therefore, took place “in total compliance with international maritime law” and according to the procedures recommended by UN Palmer Commissionwhich in 2011 established that the Israeli naval bloc is legitimate. The narrative of the “illegal abroad” is a manipulation already seen in 2010 with the Mavi Marmara. Even then, the organizers spread false maps to suggest that the ships were on the high seas. Today the same tactic is repeated: non -verifiable maps, invented coordinates and slogans as “international waters” used to evoke an image of abuse. In reality, the Israeli operation falls within the full right of maritime self -defense, also applied by BORN And European Union against illegal trafficking in Mediterranean. The alleged “violation” is therefore a propaganda construction, useful only to create indignation and transform a legal control into an act of symbolic aggression.
Like any well -orchestrated propaganda operation, this too was accompanied by one capillary media campaign. Tear -on videos, dramatic statements and accusations of mistreatment have invaded social social networks and televisions. Some participants claimed to have been “detained for no reason»Or”Malmenatthe”. But the medical reports and the official Israeli testimonies deny these versions: the arrested were assisted by healthcare personnel and transferred safely to the center of detention of KtziotIn the Negevin controlled and documented conditions. “It is a script that repeats itself – explain European diplomatic sources -: first the Israeli reaction is caused, then the victim’s story is built to obtain visibility and funds”. The culmination of media manipulation came with the episode of Greta Thunberg. The young activist, invited on board as a symbol of the “western consciousness“, It found himself at the center of a surreal script: forced, according to witnesses, to wrap himself in the Israeli flag during the interception, and then give in to tears in front of the cameras. The images, relaunched by international networks, became viral and fueled the narrative of the” trauma inflicted by Israel “.
But behind the scenes, explain sources of intelligence“The episode had been foreseen as an element of emotional storytelling to maximize the media impact”. Second Elisa Garfagnasocial media language analyst: «The case of Greta Thunberg It clearly shows how emotions can be used to influence public opinion. Strong images and stories selected with precision, create a sense of victimization which, even if real, is often exploited for political purposes. This way of doing not only simplifies very complex issues, reducing everything to a conflict between good and bad, but also risks removing those who want to help. Thus, the public can become skeptical towards humanitarian initiatives that seem more propaganda than true assistance ». The entire sequence, from filming to coordinated dissemination on social networks, appears to be studied at the table by a communication team that has been working for months on the construction of the image of the Flotilla like “heroic mission“Against”Zionist oppression”. A few days after the operation, the certainty remains that the Global Sumud Flotilla It was a media experiment rather than a humanitarian initiative. Israel intercepted empty ships, but full of slogans. Behind the appearance of solidarity, a far more articulated design is hidden: to use the sea as a symbolic theater, and the media as a political multiplier. “He never was aid in Gaza – the spokesman reiterated Elsdunne – But of a campaign to delegitimize Israel ». And the story Greta Thunberg is only the last, perfect example: an act of direction, disguised as a humanitarian tragedy, to feed yet another global whining against the Jewish state.
