New flotilla set to leave Denmark in bid to break blockade on Gaza
 [IsraelTimes] Two-month journey will see vessels stopping at European ports for activities in support of Paleostinian 'March of Return'
The two-month journey will see the ships stopping off at several European ports to take part in activities supporting the Paleostinians’ so-called "March of Return." It is under the "March of Return" banner that more than 100 Paleostinians have been killed in violent festivities with Israeli security forces along the border fence since March 30 ‐ most of them members of the Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, terror group, according to the group itself. The flotilla has been planned by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, an umbrella of organizations aiming to end the closure. The ships will carry names such as "Return" (al-Awda), "Freedom," and "Paleostine." Among those on board will be Prof. Ismail Nazari, chairman of Malaysia’s boycott Israel campaign; Charlie Andreason of Sweden, who spent time in Israeli detention for his role on the Marianne, a Swedish-flagged trawler leading a flotilla of boats in June 2015; Spanish Jewish activist Zohar Shamir Chamberlain; and Heather Milton-Lightening, an activist for indigenous Canadians. Two years ago, 13 women, including Nobel Peace Prize winner Mairead Maguire of Northern Ireland, were detained and then deported after their sailboat, "Women’s Boat to Gazoo," was stopped around 35 nautical miles off the coast of Gazoo on its way to break the blockade. The most notorious flotilla sailed in 2010 and involved the IDF commandos who boarded the ship were violently attacked by those on board. Nine Posted by: trailing wife 2018-05-23 |
