    Masked Israeli Commandos to seize humanitarian floating peace mission

    I am making this a blog entry in its own right because I do not want this event to be buried as some side note.

    AP is reporting Israel's response to this humanitarian floating peace mission will be military.

    'Israeli commandos to block Gaza activists.'

    '...Military authorities said that masked naval commandos would greet the eight ships deep out at sea, escort the vessels to port and give each of the activists a stark choice: leave the country or go to jail...'

    In other words, Israel is preparing to storm the Freedom Flotilla. Given the size of the Mediterranean Sea, '...deep out to sea...' in all likelyhood, means in International Waters.
