Just Journalism just released a media analysis that accuses the Guardian, among others, of ignoring extremist elements aboard the Flotilla.

For example, several senior figures from the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood were present, as was a bishop who had already been convicted and imprisoned by Israel for weapons-smuggling.
