Israeli Navy Intercepts Gaza-Bound Aid Ship


Tel Aviv/Larnaca, Jun 5 (DPA): The Israeli Navy intercepted a ship early Saturday headed for the Gaza Strip carrying aid and pro-Palestinian activists, organisers of the voyage said.

It was unclear, however, whether the ship has been boarded and the passengers arrested.

A spokesman for the Free Gaza organisation said three Israeli Navy vessels began shadowing the "Rachel Corrie" when it was about 60 km from the strip.

An Israeli military spokesman in Tel Aviv said he had no information on the interception of the aid ship.

    People who are biased against Israel should ask themselves: If Israel's population is 7.5 million people against the Arab world of 1.4 billion, why couldn't the Jewish state achieve peace with all its neighbors after 60 years of Israeli sovereignty?. The answer is simple: The Arab world doesn't want to recognize Israel right to exist, believing that, continuous status of war eventually will destroy Israel. If Israeli sea blockade is to prevent arms smuggling into Gaza strip and halt arming Islamist Hamas militia, attempt to break the sea blockade is nothing but arming Islamist militia to destroy Israel. I ask, why is this world helping Hamas?.
