We Con the World is a 2010 video clip that satirizes the purportedly peaceful intentions of the political activists aboard the Turkish-owned flagship, MV Mavi Marmara , which led the Free Gaza flotilla. The video uses the tune and style of the 1985 video " We Are the World ", with actors portraying the ship's captain and passengers while waving fake weapons as they sing in criticism of the activists' attempts to "make the world abandon reason" and ignore facts about Hamas as they try to breach the Gaza blockade . The video was produced in 2010 by American-Israeli Caroline Glick , a columnist for the Jerusalem Post , and Latma TV , an Israeli media satire website she edits. The website is an initiative of the Center for Security Policy , a conservative organization located in Washington, D.C. Glick makes an appearance in the chorus, wearing a keffiyeh .
