THE six Malaysians on board MV Rachel Corrie which was seized by Israel arrived safely in Jordan yesterday at about 12.30pm local time (5.50pm Malaysian time) after Israel deported them.
One of them, Shamsul Akmar, said the ship which was carrying humanitarian aid for Gaza, went as far as it could until it was stopped and boarded by Israeli troops and taken to the port of Ashdod instead.
“We were so close to Gaza. We hoped because of pressure from the international community that Israel would let this one ship to Gaza.
...The 1,400-tonne Rachel Corrie was carrying medical equipment, wheelchairs, construction material, cement, books, writing material and toys in its attempt to break the three-year siege on Gaza.
Rachel Corrie, which is a Malaysian-Irish effort, was flying the Malaysian and Irish flags at half-mast in memory of the nine activists who were killed on the MV Mavi Marmara on Monday by Israeli troops when they seized the six-ship Gaza aid flotilla in international waters.

“We did not want to go to Israel. We wanted to go to Gaza but Israel dragged us to their house and gave us some sandwiches and water,” he said.
Yes, very shabby to offer food and water to terrorist enablers. Downright cruel.
Happy to see they finally made it to Palestine. Strange route they took, but they made it!
This is the game of the water torture—drip drip drip drip against Israel.
These same ‘activists’ are never anywhere near the sites where the Hamas missles from Gaza land in Israel & they are never helping to rebuild what gets damaged from those Hamas missles.
Thanks God for Bibi.
He won’t pander to them.
Giving the Gaza strip to the Palis years ago was a mistake.
They won’t stop their whining ever, nor their demands for more of everything.
If they had the entire Middle East, they would want Europe——or Asia——or Africa-——or America.
They want complete world domination.
Don’t EVER think otherwise. You will be played for a fool.
The ignorance level in today's reportage is utterly astounding.
I hope Israel impounded the ship.
Did anyone tell them that was ham and cheese on rye???
The Israelis treated the little junior terrorists better than Netanyahu was treated on his White House visit, eh? Remember that... he was offered NOTHING to eat...not even a map of D.C. eateries. NOTHING.
Hugely.
What would you expect from a hostile, petulant little muzzie like Lord Barak?
