The wacky flotilla satire video, brought to you by a right-wing think tank

[meegbear]

Hebrew-language "satire" website Latma produced a funny web video about the deadly raid by Israeli commandos on an aid flotilla headed for Gaza in which 9 activists, including an American citizen, were killed. The video is a laugh riot, especially if you love Israeli Jews dressing up as dead Palestinians and Muslims (and British and American activists) and singing funny songs.

In the comments, a self-described liberal Jew takes pains to note that while he supports not taking this whole thing so "ominously serious," this video might make other liberal American Jews view Israel negatively. He is promptly called a JINO.

Latma's editor, and the creative force behind the video, is Caroline Glick. Glick is the deputy-managing editor of The Jerusalem Post. But more importantly, she's the Senior Fellow for Middle East Affairs of the Center for Security Policy.

CSP is a far-right think tank founded by Reagan-era Defense Department official and "Scoop" Jackson protege Frank Gaffney. The board is made up of representatives of defense contractors who do business with Israel and the most implacably hawkish members of the neocon Republican foreign policy establishment. It's funded in large part by ultra-conservative American Zionists.

Latma, Glick tells us, is "is the initiative of the Center for Security Policy's Middle East media project...."

Yes, that's right, Frank Gaffney's ultra-right-wing, pro-Israel think tank is producing incredibly offensive "funny web videos."
