Algerian ship on its way to Gaza?
And now there's an Algerian ship trying to run the blockade.A ship carrying 60 containers of office supplies, food and other equipment departed Wednesday night from Algeria to Egypt on its way to Hamas controlled Gaza, as reported by Algerian news. Docking in Gaza is against Israeli regulations. This is the latest ship to attempt to break Israel's maritime laws. Gaza is accessible by land from Egypt on the West, Israel on the east and via the Mediterranean sea.Here are some more details:
The ship reportedly left Algeria in the early afternoon, and is sponsored by the government. Religious and political figures are on the vessel, along with food, and educational and medical supplies.I would bet that this ship will offload at El Arish (on the Egyptian side of the border) and that the Egyptians will inspect and transfer by land from there as they did with the Libyan ship.
The ship was organized by the Muslim wise men organization in Algeria, and funded by business men, according to Channel 10. The organizers said the ship's purpose is to "show identification with the Palestinian nation."

Agreed. No one really wants another confrontation with Israel. May's killings served their purpose. It made the anti-Israel crowd leery of what might happen to them if they resorted to more violence against Israel. Most of them do not want to be martyrs for the Palestinians.
