Insanity: Scandinavians Launch Ship To Break Gaza Blockade | |
2012-08-08 | |
[Jerusalem Post] Swedish and Norwegian backed SV Estelle set to sail from Oslo to Gazoo; organizers hoping more ships will join. Scandinavian activist groups are launching an aid ship destined for Gazoo on Tuesday,
"We have the same goal as the previous flotillas, to put an end to the blockade of Gazoo by challenging the Israeli navy," said Torstein Dahle, the leader of the Norwegian section of the activist group "Ship to Gazoo". "This time around it will be an easy task for the Israelis to stop us because we will be so few and strictly non-violent," Dahle told Rooters at Oslo harbour. In May 2010, several aid ships trying to run Israel's blockade of the Gazoo Strip were halted by Israeli naval commandos, who killed nine pro-Paleostinian Turks aboard one of the vessels. A second convoy, planned a year later, did not sail after the organizers said they had been sabotaged. In November 2011, the Israeli navy boarded two yachts in international waters, one Canadian and one Irish, carrying pro-Paleostinian activists and medical supplies and heading for Gazoo to challenge the Israeli blockade. The SV Estelle, a 53-metre vessel backed mainly by Swedish and Norwegian groups, will sail from Oslo on Tuesday, and organizers hope several other ships will join it during its journey before it reaches waters off Gazoo in October. Israel says it blockades seaborne approaches to the Gazoo Strip to prevent arms smuggling to the Paleostinians. | |
