Major media calling Greta Thunberg's boat an "aid ship" even though it didn't have any real aid and it isn't a ship (@NYTimes @Guardian @CNN @Reuters @AP)

It is hard to overstate how successful anti-Israel propaganda is.

Look at these headlines:

Every single major media outlet refer to the "Madleen", a 60 foot yacht, as an "aid ship" or "aid boat."  

But it wasn't. Everyone knows that the little cargo it carried was symbolic, and news stories admitted that. (A quick look at Israeli media found none of them used those terms.) 

The flotilla was carrying nothing but propaganda. It was a publicity stunt. The Madleen couldn't hold large amounts of aid even if they wanted to - the cargo hold is small and it had to also feed the 12 anti-Israel agitators on board. 

If the media knows that there was next to no aid on the boat and that it is a propaganda mission, why do they call it an "aid boat?" 

Moreover, the New York Times and Guardian stretch the lie by calling the Madleen an "aid ship." It is a yacht. The word "ship" has a specific meaning, typically a cargo vessel, and a yacht is not a ship (although it is a boat.) 

The news media, by adopting these false terms as objective descriptions of the publicity stunt, are themselves guilty of anti-Israel propaganda. 

Media that care about objectivity would never use the term "aid ship." Media that wants to promote the agenda of today's antisemites would certainly use their false terminology - and normalize it.
