Athens, Greece – Pro-Palestinian activists say they are planning to send a new convoy of humanitarian aid ships to the Gaza Strip, a year after a raid by Israeli forces on a similar mission left nine Turks dead.

Organizers said Monday more than 10 ships are expected to sail in late May in an effort to break Israel’s blockade of the territory. Passengers will include U.S., Canadian, British and French nationals, and include lawmakers and reporters.
Activists in Athens said they are determined to continue with the convoy, despite last May’s fatal raid on a Gaza-bound Turkish aid ship and the threat of new violence.
Israel eased its blockade under international pressure after the deaths. Israel imposed the blockade after Hamas militants seized control of Gaza in 2007, and still restricts some materials.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged Europe on Monday to do what it can to prevent its nationals from taking part. “This flotilla must be stopped,” Netanyahu told European ambassadors in Jerusalem
Turkey and Greece, two natural enemies, can agree on one thing: They both hate Jews.
You would think that Greece is a bit too financially strapped to start engaging in acts of war with neighbors.
They hate each other,but when it comes to Am yisroel they love each other, as seen with the Egyptians

This “freedom” flotilla definitely has an agenda, one in which Israel must board the ship and check the “humanitarian aid” going through. Inevitably it again be deemed as a provocation on Israel’s part…a no win situation will ensue!
I think the flotilla people have been more than adequately warned. Humanitarian? Baloney! Wait for them to hit the demarcation line of the waters they should not enter and sink ’em. Yes, they will make for good fish food. Charlie (from Star Kist) has can openers for the canned goods of the humanitarian supplies.
