A ship flying US colors and carrying 34 passengers is set to joint this year's Gaza-bound, IHH-sponsored “Freedom Flotilla 2” in June, the New York Times reported.
So-called “peace activists” on the first IHH flotilla in May 2010 ambushed Israeli naval commandos who boarded the ship in accordance with international law, attempted to take them captive, and seriously injuring several. The commandos were forced to kill nine aggressors in order to rescue their imperiled comrades.
This year's American vessel, named The Audacity of Hope after US President Barack Obama’s best-selling book, is being organized by an American group called “US Boat to Gaza.”
Obama links to the Audacity do not end there, however. Prof. Rashid Khalidi, director of the Middle East Institute at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs, and a friend from Obama’s time in Chicago, is among the supporters of an appeal launched by the group last week.
“We must raise at least $370,000 in the next month,” a statement on US Boat to Gaza’s Web site read indicating it doesn't have the money needed to sail yet.
“These funds will be used to purchase a boat large enough for 40-60 people, secure a crew, and cover the licensing and registering of the boat. Together we will contribute to the great effort to end the blockade of Gaza and the illegal occupation of Palestine.”

It sounds like Barry has his anti-Jew lynch mob really fired up. The muzzie terrorists have to be loving this. I imagine they’ll donate all the money these clowns need to play sailor boy.
Sink the damned thing.
Can Mossad spare any of them? I thought they were all being sent to eat Egyptian tourists at coastal resorts.

Passengers and crew. Bunch of has-been hippies and communists. Not wishing them anything bad but the seas can be treacherous...
A little torpedo practice for the IDF submarine force.
The palestinians are illegally occupying Jewish Eretz Yisrael—they should get out. Maybe the Hasidim should sail ships to meet the turks..
It can’t be a US ship or it’s violating the Jones act. They should fly another flag, maybe Cuba or Iran.
Man, do you read all those bios? A bigger bunch of guilt-ridden useless idiots would be difficult to imagine.
Never.
How much does a torpedo cost?
Like I said, bunch of aging hippies. I think they did too many drugs.
“I have a Master degree in Peace and Conflict Studies...”
So did one of the idiots who went hiking in Iraq and ended up in Iran where he now resides against his will.
