Midnight On the Mavi Marmara

*When you're involved in the Israeli-Palestinian-Turkish-peacenik culture war, you're not gonna get not a whiff of mainstream promotion anywhere, so it's all about the Internet book trailers. Assuming that you even bother with books.

*The best part of this video? That hold full of unarmed peaceniks that is absolutely swarming with computers. They're stowed in there typin' away, but it's still entirely possible to raid 'em, shoot nine of 'em, collar the rest, and transform the mayhem into a non-event. Given, that is, that your national propaganda apparatus has more guys typing on keyboards than they can manage to muster.

*I'm closing commentary on this post, because any digital whisper of the numerous keywords surrounding the Mavi Marmara inevitably brings on the kulturkampf brigades. I know you're out there, boys. Just shovel the spin back into the cargo ship, and move right along.

*Plenty of room for you lot to have at it in the YouTube comments for the trailer here:
