attempted, and sometimes succeeded, in being impartial.

Israel takes it's earned licks, but so does the 'other side of the story.'

Does take some extended reading time but worth the effort.

Two important points surfaced in the report:

Gaza does not have a port suitable for unloading the cargo on board these ships.

These two facts show clearly that the mission was not humanitarian but political.
