The Gaza-bound flotilla of fools has threatened to try prevent the Israeli Navy from boarding their ships.
Without using violence, of course.
The international “blockade-breaking” aid flotilla aimed to set sail from Cyprus to Gaza Strip has been postponed again, and will apparently arrive at Gaza’s shores on Monday morning, organizers said.
The small fleet of eight vessels, carrying supplies and pro-Palestinian activists, were originally scheduled to arrive in Gaza on Saturday, but has repeatedly postponed its departure.
The countdown has begun, activists told Ynet Saturday evening, adding that three freighters and two ships would set sail for Gaza on noon Sunday.
Sources told Ynet that the activists have decided not allow the Israeli Navy to board the ships, “But we will refrain from violence.”
“Israel does not have the authority to board the ships, it would be a stupid move on its part,” one of the activists added.
Israel is already being blamed for sabotaging the sail, before even setting foot on any of the vessels.
Israel is monitoring the position of the vessels closely. The sail has been postponed several times after two of the ships suffered technical malfunctions – which some tried to blame on Israel.
An Israeli source dismissed the allegations at “utter nonsense meant to disguise the poor organization of the sale.” [sic]
Meanwhile, the terrorist organization Hamas is reveling in all of this.
Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh said the flotilla signaled the end of the blockade.
“If the ships reach Gaza, it’s a victory for Gaza,” Haniyeh told some 400 supporters on Saturday, after touring Gaza City’s small fishing harbor where several smaller vessels breaking the blockade have docked in the past. “If they are intercepted and terrorized by the Zionists, it will be a victory for Gaza, too, and they will move again in new ships to break the siege of Gaza.”
