Israeli forces on Monday stormed a convoy of boats with thousands of tons of food and supplies headed for the Gaza strip, leaving up to 19 people dead and dozens injured, according to news reports. The ships were in international waters. Immediately following the attack there was widespread condemnation of Israel, including from the United Nations.
New York Times: The (Israeli) warships first intercepted the convoy of cargo and passenger boats shortly before midnight on Sunday, according to activists on one vessel. Israel had vowed not to let the flotilla reach the shores of Gaza.
Named the Freedom Flotilla and led by the Free Gaza Movement and a Turkish organization, Insani Yardim Vakfi, the convoy was the most ambitious attempt yet to break Israel’s three-year blockade of Gaza.
About 600 passengers were said to be aboard the vessels, including the 1976 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Mairead Corrigan-Maguire of Northern Ireland, and a Holocaust survivor, Hedy Epstein, 85.
These “humanitarian” members and Free Gaza are terrorist sympathizers. They got what they had coming.
