The ever impartial BBC inform us that
'The Rachel Corrie is carrying hundreds of tonnes of aid, including wheelchairs, medical supplies and cement. Construction materials are banned from entering Gaza by Israel, which says they could be used for military purposes by Hamas.'For the truth about the ban on construction see this, a truth the BBC seem unwilling to accept.
The equal-handed BBC also tell both sides of the story thus:
'Israel says its commandos were attacked with weapons, including knives, and opened fire in self-defence. Activists on the ship say troops shot at them without provocation. 'Presumably the BBC haven't seen the videos that back up Israel's case... Perhaps they should look at this and this.
