It had originally meant to be with the original flotilla, but had some mechanical problems that delayed it. I believe the above it correct. I predict more of the same from the Israeli's - who may try not to kill quite as many this time.....but the chances of doing so is there and more than 50-50; as if they did not [they fear] it would break their illegal blockade and open the doors for Gaza to live like a normal entity.....Israel, for all of their propaganda, lies and bravado are on the defensive now. I heard there was an Irish Nobel Peace Prize winner on board, I'll catch the name again and put it up.....kill her and there will be trouble......but I see little world reaction to the 9 or so dead...including a 19 year old American.
