IDF Seizes Gaza Aid Ship
by Lori Price
01 Jul 2009 Israeli forces have boarded a ship trying to carry aid and pro-Palestinian activists to the Gaza Strip in defiance of Israel's blockade of the territory.
The 20 passengers include former US congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and Nobel Prize winner Mairead Maguire.

[Can you *imagine* what would happen if *Iran* intercepted a vessel with a former congressperson and Nobel Prize winner? It makes my head *spin* to think of how fast the US missiles would be flying!]

The other side of the story.

Quote:
The Israel Navy intercepted a boat carrying international activists attempting to break a blockade of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip yesterday and forced it to sail to Ashdod instead, the Israel Defense Forces said.

The navy had earlier surrounded the vessel, which was carrying humanitarian aid, and told the activists to turn back because of security risks in the area and the blockade, according to the IDF.

But the boat later entered Gaza's coastal waters, the IDF Spokesperson said in a statement, after which it was boarded.

The crew was to be handed over to the appropriate authorities, the IDF said.

In the statement, the IDF Spokesperson added that it "would like to emphasize that any organization or country that wishes to transfer humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip can legally do so via the established crossings between Israel and the Gaza Strip with prior coordination."

The army said humanitarian goods found on board the boat would be transferred to Gaza, subject to authorization.
...
The ship was flying a Greek flag, but no Greek citizens were aboard. The Greek government said it was demanding the release of the ship, crew and passengers.
...

They tried to break the rules and got caught.

[-imagine the worldwide outrage if Al Queda hijacked a similar aid mission.

'If you had any doubt that Obama was the Israeli war party's man, this should settle it.
A PR disaster for Israel? Hardly.
The corporate news media still hasn't reported it.
The US government hasn't made a comment.'
