Small ferry carrying medical supplies that set sail from Cyprus Monday with 21 peace activists, medical supplies intercepted off Strip's shore; passengers say army jammed boat's radio signals.
At around noon Tuesday the Israeli Navy intercepted and took control of a boat that had set sail for the Gaza Strip with three tons of medical supplies, Palestinian sources said, adding that the Navy jammed the boat's radio signals.
The IDF Spokesperson's Office confirmed the report. Israeli military sources said there was no violence after the small ferry, sailing from Cyprus with activists from the US-based Free Gaza Movement, was intercepted off Gaza.
"The vessel, which was sailing under a Greek flag, left Larnaca, Cyprus on Monday en route to Gaza. After it was made clear that the boat was headed for Gaza's shore, it was told that Gaza was under a naval blockade. In light of this and the security hazards in the region, its entrance to Gaza was forbidden," the army said in a statement.

Oops.......Sorry about that
Strangely enough, people who don't work, don't pay taxes, and can't read or write seem to vote identically to Profound Left Wing Intellectuals. What's up with that?
And how come among all the Black politicians in American life there isn't one "fundie?" Are all American Blacks Profound Left Wing Intellectuals? I mean, if not, a "fundie" would slip through occasionally and be elected, right? But so far as I can tell every single Black politician from the federal to the most local level is an across the board left wing fruitcake.
Not enough speaking in tongues or taking up the serpent?
Actually Sony and MJ “did” own them 50/50.
Sony loaned so much money to MJ that, legally, they could have taken MJ’s percentage. Sony decided that there could be a boycott against them, costing more than that option was worth!
Aha! I THOUGHT she’d pulled this stunt once before!!!
Hope they keep her.
I suspect the same people who paid for our Kenyan presidente.
