YouTube Not Removing IDF Videos of Flotilla Raid

An e-mail rumor with the subject line, "URGENT PLEASE FORWARD!! for Israel" falsely suggests that YouTube has been removing videos posted by the Israeli Defense Forces of the raid on the Gaza Flotilla because "…not too many people are logging in." 

There is no truth to this rumor.

This claim has surfaced previously – as early as January 2009 – with e-mails using nearly the exact same language, but describing different videos.
