Galloway claims flotilla to leave on September 18
British nutcase George Galloway claims that a Gaza flotilla 'convoy' will leave London, Casablanca and Doha on September 18, which just happens to be Yom Kippur. Galloway states in the article that now that the siege on Gaza is being condemned by the EU, UN, many governments and every major international aid agency, "we are at a moment when pressure can be brought to bear as never before to frustrate Israel's moves to crush the Palestinians."By the way, we're still waiting for those two Lebanese ships from a few weeks ago to get here. Maybe they got lost on the way. Heh.
Galloway expressed encouragement at British Prime Minister David Cameron's speech from last month in Turkey in which he equated Gaza to a prison camp and condemned Israel for the raid on the Mavi Marmara in which nine pro-Palestinian activists were killed by IDF naval commandos.
In addition to the launching of the new flotilla to take advantage of the momentum that has built up against the blockade, Galloway called for the nations of the world to isolate Israel as apartheid South Africa was isolated in order to challenge the Jewish state's "criminal policy."
Galloway, a former British MP and veteran anti-Israel activist, first announced plans for the "Viva Palestina" flotilla in June, shortly after attending the funerals of the Turkish activists killed aboard the Mavi Marmara.

Good luck with them sailing around Yom Kippur. There is no siege of Gaza- the inhabitants are not being deprived of the necessities of life.
This is more anti-Israel propaganda.
