Amazing video, apparently smuggled out of you-know-where, captures the mood of the “Spirit of Humanity” as it grinds from Cyprus toward Gaza and is intercepted by several Israeli ships nearly two weeks ago. Note the warnings in English that the Israelis might open fire. Note the Spirit’s captain’s statement that the Israeli navy wouldn’t have stood on ceremony with ordinary Palestinians. Note Cynthia McKinney and Huwaida Arraf, cool under pressure.
And note the repetition of the order, Go back to Larnaca– in Cyprus. Reminds me of the important place Larnaca had in Exodus And really brings the blockade home. Reminds me that Egypt’s blockade of one port of entry to Israel, the straits of Tiran, brought on a devastating war in 1967. Gazans suffer complete blockade.
