[Peace-discuss] Fw: URGENT ACTION: Israeli Warships Approach Gaza Flotilla; Boarding and Commandeering Imminent

[E. Wayne Johnson]

The news here announced yesterday that the ships were attacked by water 
cannons and
boarded by the Israeli Navy, then towed to Ashdod.

It was also announced that the organizers were advised to send their 
materials by land freight
to Gaza.

I dont know if that can work or not.  But I suppose that ships coming 
from Cuba or Colombia to the US bringing
beer, pizza, and warm blankets to Bradley Manning would be likewise 
intercepted regardless
of their rhetoric.
