The Ship Rachel Corrie sets sail for Gaza.

No it isn't. It is a cynical and political attempt to breach the blockade. The cargo on board
is secondary to the ultimate goal.

Would that be the thoroughly legal blockade of Gaza as perfectly legal collective punishment on it's residents within their Ghetto.
Heaven preserves us from cynicism in politics.

No, its an open and honest attempt to breach the blockade. The cargo on board is of primary importance to the ulitmate goal of delivering humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza.

The sad thing is that this murderous act by the Zionists means the bullies and hoodlums in Hamas have gained a major PR victory. I have no time for Hamas and their brand of Islam but the Israelis seem intent on making them popular.

The blockade is illegal, therefore any attempts to break it should be commended.

Israel in demise as crowds cheer mass murder operation.

Students protest in support of IDF - Israel News, Ynetnews

If it was intentional mass murder then everyone on the boats would be dead. They are not!

You are a traitor.

If you are going to be throwing hyperbole around the least you could do is be specific. What is he a traitor too?

Oh balls.....

Turkey Promises to Send Supplies to Gaza With Naval Escort SpeakEasy

Dangerous! If those Turkish warships enter occupied Gazan waters without permission from the Israelis it could be construed as an act of war.

[Kerrygold]

I wouldn't go that far. I don't want violence. I want angry people on the streets making their voices of protest peacefully heard.

Yes, because as we all know the Israelis listen to peaceful protests.

What is needed is, as Naomi Klein says, Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions.

And other non-violent means of resistance, such as, sending aid ships.

The ships are certainly non-violent. Shame about that reception committee.

The organisers don't see it like that. You see the thing is, they only have a problem with Israel. Egypt doesn't concern them. Nor does the plight of Gilad Shalit. They are not interested in confrontation with Egypt, only Israel. If they were really interested in the wellbeing of the people of Gaza, they would have accepted the offers of Egypt or Israel to transfer humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza. Instead they have chosen a cheap political stunt.

Shalit, 19 years old and with the rank of corporal in the IDF's Armor Corps at the time of his capture, has since been promoted to staff sergeant.[1]

Promotion comes easily in terrorist organizations.
