Zionist disinformation campaign on the flotilla attack has probably already begun

There are some wildly disparate figures regarding the number of people who have been murdered by Israeli commandos in the attack on the flotilla bound for Gaza. According to a report on the Free Gaza site, two have been confirmed killed (but in fairness that was at 6:30 am):

(Cyprus, June 1, 2010, 6:30 am) Under darkness of night, Israeli commandoes dropped from a helicopter onto the Turkish passenger ship, Mavi Marmara, and began to shoot the moment their feet hit the deck. They fired directly into the crowd of civilians asleep. According to the live video from the ship, two have been killed, and 31 injured. Al Jazeera has just confirmed the numbers.

The Guardian is reporting that

The Israeli military says more than 10 activists have been killed after it intercepted ships carrying aid to Gaza

This later and larger figure could well be designed to wrong foot the opposition into being accused of exaggeration.

Of course, whether the stormtroopers killed two or ten or more than ten, makes no difference to their sheer criminality and their figure could turn out to be accurate as a projection but always use reports from the racist war criminals of the State of Israel with extreme caution.

UPDATE 14:45 31/05/2010: Israel Army Radio is now reporting that the Israeli army killed 15 people.
