| Hamas still holds a young Israeli soldier hostage. We commemorate his fourth year in captivity NEW YORK (JTA) -- A flotilla carrying humanitarian aid for captive Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit set sail in New York on the eve of the fourth anniversary of his capture. Meanwhile, the Colosseum and at least two other landmarks in Italy will go dark to draw attention to Shalit's plight. The "True Freedom Flotilla" invoked the name of the epithet of the fleet that sailed for the Gaza Strip on May 30 to "point out the exact hypocrisy of the terminology that they used," said Malcolm Hoenlein, the executive vice chair of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, which organized Thursday's event. "This is what the real flotilla is about." |
