Jewish Groups to Send Gaza Flotilla, JTA Says Date : 27/6/2010 Time : 20:07

TEL AVIV, June 27, 2010 (WAFA)- A coalition of international Jewish organizations sympathetic to the Palestinians will send a flotilla to Gaza to try to break Israel's blockade of the Strip, JTA reported Sunday.

The 'Jewish Boat to Gaza' will sail next month from an undisclosed location carrying passengers from the United States, Germany and Britain. At least one passenger is reported to be a Holocaust survivor.

American Jews for a Just Peace announced last week that it will serve as the U.S. coordinator for the Jewish boat. The other groups participating in the flotilla include 'Judische Stimme' ('Jewish Voice' for a Just Peace in the Near East) and Jews for Justice for Palestinians, a British organization.

Glyn Secker, a British Jew and a longtime activist, will serve as captain. No weapons will be on board, according to the American Jews for a Just Peace website.

'Organizers are requesting that the Israeli government, the British government, the German government and the Obama Administration guarantee safe passage for the boat, its passengers and cargo,' according to the announcement.

naaaa...scratch that idea.  You're too much of a chicken.  You'll soil your pants at the first sight on an Israeli soldier and stink up the whole ship.  The rest of the crew will then have to clean up your mess instead of getting aid to the poor Gazans...
