"Freedom Flotilla II will leave around September," he said during a panel discussion at the Turkish Embassy in Rome. Six ships have already left, he added.
Nine activists were killed by Israeli soldiers last week when they stormed a ship in international waters that was flying the Turkish flag and directed toward Gaza with aid supplies.
On Saturday, Israelis seized another aid ship.
Israel in 2007 imposed a blockade on Gaza after militant Hamas took control. Hamas routinely shoots missiles into Israel and its settlements. Israel says it needs to seal the area to keep arms from entering.
Many critics of the blockade say Palestinians are unfairly suffering.
"For 35 months, the people of the Gaza Strip have lived under siege," said a representative of the Turkish Embassy during the panel discussion.
Hannoun said the Palestinian Solidarity Festival, to be held on Sunday in the northern Italian city of Milan, will raise funds for the flotilla.
Send them to the bottom.
5000...That’s a lot of shark bait.
yalla ya
“Freedom Flotilla II”
Inspecting the cargo of the Turkish Flotilla the Isreali found it worthless with expired medicine, useless equipment, junk.
So now they call Islamists and Nazi’s - ACTIVISTS???
See folks, the media is in on this “1984” Orwellian NWO agenda.
Up is down and right is left and good is bad.....the world is being made crazy so that people with values and common sense will become confused and bewildered and drop out.
(Study the Marxist Hegelian Dialectic)
It’s working.
The flotilla is leaving around September, but some ships have already left in early June.
These goofballs are just making it up as it comes out of their mouths.
Target practice!
“Hamas routinely shoots missiles into Israel and its settlements”
Note the attempt to delegitimatize all of Israel.
“Settlements” are a code word for Israeli homes in areas claimed by the Arabs.
The missiles Hamas fire at Israel do not target anyplace that even under that definition could be called a “settlement”.
They target Israeli cities within the 1967 armistice lines.
As I have written in a post to an earlier article, this testing of the blockade will stop if Israel begins sinking the ships after they are seized.
(Well, before is okay too, if necessary.)
These people aren’t concerned about “human rights”. They’re part of a World-wide political campaign against the Israeli nation. There are plenty of human rights abuses in the World that these people can complain about, but you will never hear them doing so. Their anti-Israel campaign is only a mechanism to give meaning to their barren lives.
Bitter people living meaningless lives, who find consolation in picking Israel as the “bad” nation in the World.
This would look like an opportunity for the intelligence services to sink those ships while they are still in their various ports.
Please God, just bring it and show these muzzies who’s the boss. I await your glorious arrival.
I’ll predict now that this convoy will be a HUGE target to either Al-Queerda or Iran.
A few charges placed on the hull of several of the “Gaza aid” ships by ISLAMIC divers and later detonated in front of TV cameras as the flotilla is confronted by Israeli boats will force the volatile situation in the ME to explode. The Islamists would then be able to pretty much whatever they want and the world would not object.
Your virgins are waiting *now*!
Don't delay, sail today!
Our IDF Operators are standing by with a special delivery for your port side...

They could use sunken muzzie ships to build a big, honkin’ reef.
Is that a Harpoon or Excocet?
