After Israel committed and then denied, with the eager help of western ‘mainstream’ media, its first night-time drone strike on a boat of the humanitarian Global Sumud Flotilla sailing to break Israel’s criminal starvation siege of Gaza, volunteer crew member Faeyz Hamzeh posted video of the attack that put beyond doubt that it was a drone bombing and not, as media had claimed, a mechanical fault, that set the boat on fire.
