The ship, carrying aid for Palestinians, will set sail for Gaza on Friday or early Saturday, in defiance of Israel's blockade of the impoverished territory, Gadhafi International Charity and Development Foundation, the Libyan charity organising the trip, said. Credit: Reuters/John Kolesidis LAVRIO | Sat Jul 10, 2010 3:28pm EDT LAVRIO Greece (Reuters) - A ship carrying aid for Palestinians blockaded in Gaza by Israel left Greece on Saturday, just over a month after nine activists died in an Israeli raid on an aid flotilla on a similar mission. Organizers said the Moldovan-flagged boat, with 12 crew and up to ten activists on board, would head for Gaza but would go to the Egyptian port of El Arish instead if banned from reaching their destination. "We hope the Israelis will not ban the ship from entering the port of Gaza. If they decide to do so we have no means to object to that. This is a peaceful mission," said Youssef Sawani, executive director of the Libyan charity organizing the aid trip. "Our sole goal and intention is to have the goods delivered to those who need it. It's not to make an event or a show in high seas or somewhere else," he said before the ship left the Greek port of Lavrio. A charity chaired by the Libyan leader's son Saif al-Islam Gaddafi is organizing the trip and said the ship carried some 2,000 tons of food and medicine and complied with international rules. The trip was expected to take between 70 and 80 hours. Nine pro-Palestinian activists died in May when Israeli marines stormed a Turkish aid ship leading a Gaza-bound convoy, prompting an international outcry. Israel said its commandoes were attacked with knives and sticks when they boarded the ship and acted in self-defense. Israel said on Saturday it contacted Greek, Egyptian and Moldovan authorities to make sure the ship chartered by the Gaddafi International Charity and Development Foundation would not attempt to reach Gaza. Its ambassador to the United Nations sent letters to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the president of the U.N. General Assembly, Ali Treki of Libya. "In spite of the stated intention of this mission, we are deeply concerned that the true nature of its actions remains dubious," Gabriela Shalev wrote. "This mission is completely unwarranted," she wrote, urging the international community to ensure that the ship "does not sail." The Organizers said the Amalthea, re-named Hope, carried only food and medicine and complied with international rules. Supporters of the charity making the trip were mostly Libyans, they said, with also one Nigerian and a Moroccan. The crew include Cubans, Haitians, Syrians and Indians. Israel says its blockade of Gaza is necessary to stop arms and materials it fears could be used for military purposes from reaching Gaza's Hamas Islamist rulers. The United Nations says the blockade has led to a humanitarian crisis for the territory's 1.5 million people, of whom about 1 million depend to some extent on regular supplies of U.N. and other foreign aid brought in overland after Israeli inspection. Following the international outrage caused by its raid on the aid flotilla, Israel has announced steps to ease the blockade of the enclave and set up an inquiry into the incident.

Expect this to blow up in Israel’s face again when the ship disobeys orders to stay away from the legal blockade of Gaza. Eric.Klein Report As Abusive Jul 10, 2010 4:12pm EDT @Eric , 2-3 days after the Flotilla of Martyrs failed attempt the world kinda realized that it was a sham created by the activist and the IHH , Any educated person watching the videos released by the activist on You Tube ( not very intelligent on their part) that clearly showed their true intention and that was not to be a peace loving mission , The people who died were either shot by their own people or the IDF and the ones who died desperately wanted to be Martyred , The videos shot by the activist also showed that they were the aggressors, not the IDF So in reality , the mission of Martyrs actually failed” Big Time” and the blockade is still in place , nice try !! Now the world is wiser and will not fall for an other pathetic attempt by supporters of Hamas and Id bet that this ship sponsored by Libya will do the right thing and head for Egypt unless some of the activist are in a “martyr ” type mood, This time the world will not be as gullible penvk Report As Abusive Jul 10, 2010 4:56pm EDT I’m so sick and tired of hearing about the Palestinians. The world needs to move on and stop buying into the Muslim propoganda.
