The hoax

The Washington Post presents an article documenting propaganda that doesn't use the word propaganda. "Israel ramps up campaign against Gaza aid flotilla" also avoids saying why groups from around the world would risk their lives to send aid to Palestinians in Gaza. Likely, the aid comes second to the organizers' ultimate goal of bringing attention to the Israeli occupation. In direct denial of this goal, the headline frames the article from the Israeli point of view, and focuses on Israel's hoaxy response.
