Israel Strikes Gaza again, but is it legitimate?

          Israel reportedly seized a Liberian-flagged vessel on Tuesday, due to charges that that weaponry on board was intended to be used for terror organizations that are currently operating in the Gaza Strip, according to a statement released by the Israeli military.

          However, Ramin Mehmanparast, an Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson, denied the allegations made by Israel and said that the Israeli military was producing these statements as a way to create propaganda for themselves.

          This poses the question, what media can be trusted? Israel seems to be more stable than Libya, according to recent news, but does that make the media trustworthy? Numerous problems between Libya and Israel have been occurring for several years, and with the unrest in Libya, it is hard to determine between truth and exaggeration in the media.

          The crew on the ship didn't put up an struggle and will be transported to an Israeli port for further questioning and investigation.
