Misleading write-up about Iranian reaction

I am unregistered so someone else will need to look at this.

I see it says this in the article as Iran's reaction: Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmedinejad said that the incident was an "inhuman action of the Zionist regime against the Palestinian people" and that it would bring Israel "closer than ever to its end."[70]

This is misleading and is one of the things that infuriates me about Wikipedia. The link (number 70) leads to the BBC website where Ahmedinejad's quote is as follows: "The inhuman action of the Zionist regime against the Palestinian people and preventing the humanitarian aid from reaching Gazans does not show this regime's strength, but is a sign of its weakness, and all this brings this sinister and fake regime closer than ever to its end."

The Wiki comment makes it appear to the reader that Ahmedinejad is talking about bringing Israel closer than ever to it's end when in fact he is talking about the ZIONIST REGIME coming to an end, not Israel.

This kind of silly misquoting needs to come to an end, he was also misquoted with the "wipe Israel off of the face of the earth" comment.

It should read something like this:

Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmedinejad said that the incident was an "inhuman action of the Zionist regime against the Palestinian people" and that it would bring this sinister and fake regime "closer than ever to its end."[70] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.152.108.181 (talk) 14:29, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Edit request: Add IDF Spokesperson's Unit released video

Aerial footage showing the boarding and Israeli commandos being attacked as they rappel to the upper deck has been released by the IDF[1]. Can somebody please add this to the article?

I recommend it be placed under the section detailing Al-Jazeera's reports:

Al-Jazeera reports that "all the images being shown from the activists on board those ships show clearly that they were civilians and peaceful in nature, with medical supplies on board. So it will surprise many in the international community to learn what could have possibly led to this type of confrontation."[6]

Change to:

Al-Jazeera reports that "all the images being shown from the activists on board those ships show clearly that they were civilians and peaceful in nature, with medical supplies on board. So it will surprise many in the international community to learn what could have possibly led to this type of confrontation."[6]

Aerial infra-red footage of the boarding released by the IDF Spokesperson's Unit shows Israeli commandos rappelling from a helicopter to the upper deck of one of the ships, and being attacked by people on board.
