‘We will continue to challenge the blockade w/ more boats’

The Canadian and Irish boats may not have reached Gaza but “they’re reaching the public,” Medea Benjamin, part of the support team for the Gaza flotilla, said in a briefing by the Institute for Middle East Understanding this morning.

Benjamin, said that representatives of 12 countries are now meeting in Turkey with an eye to sending more flotillas to Gaza as well as challenging the Israeli blockade by other means.

The countries represented include Germany, France, Canada, Sweden, Norway, Malaysia, the U.S., and Palestine. The group will, she said, “continue to challenge the blockade by sending boats.” But they will also pursue other methods of bringing the blockade to international attention.
