The ship Rachael Corrie is now only a short distance from Gaza, being shadowed by several Israeli Navy ships and a zodiac swiftboat with commandos aboard very close. The Israelis just [within the last 30 minutes] cut off their communications. They have announced they will attempt to get to Gaza, but if boarded will offer no resistance and all will try to get to the mid-deck, sit down and show their hands empty - palms facing the boarding pirates. I wish them luck. They have gotten far, but I fear they will shortly be boarded or worse. The Israeli Navy has the means to turn off engines or sink ships, etc. et al. It will all happen in the next hour.....stay tuned. Best of luck to all brave and decent souls on the MV Rachael Corrie!!! What a proud name to bear!!
