The project is run by Jerusalem Post editor Caroline Glick and funded by the Washington-based neoconservative think tank Center for Security Policy. The Israel lobby group AIPAC, Christians United for Israel (CUFI) and the Israeli embassy distributed its videos as part of the media campagin to discredit the activists massacred on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla.
