The Irish aid ship, MV Rachel Corrie, is expected to arrive in Gazan territorial waters at about 0900 local time (0600 BST) on Saturday.
Israel's foreign minister has said it will not be allowed to dock there and so far the crew have had no communication with the Israeli navy.
...Nobel Laureate Mairead Corrigan Maguire is on board the Rachel Corrie.
On Friday night the Irish Foreign Affairs Minister Micheal Martin said he had reached agreement with the Israeli government to allow the vessel dock in the Israeli port of Ashdod, but it is believed that the activists declined the offer.

Actually, I’m dying of curiosity as to what the Israeli’s have up their sleeves to stop the ship. I can hardly wait to see what tack they take. Hope it’s something very clever that none of us are thinking about right now, clever, and effective.

Good! Association with the nobel infestation is reason enough to blow this boat back to hell.

I almost want to watch it reach land, just in case it attempts to dock itself below a bulldozer.

Sink it. Do not rescue the survivors. And loudly proclaim to all and sundrey and this will be the fate of any and all ships bound for Gaza so long as HAMAS works toward the obliteration of Israel and of the Jewish people.
