Israel is likely to allow protesters who defied the blockade of Gaza by sailing into the Palestinian territory to leave unhindered, the Foreign Ministry said Monday.
Two ships bearing international protesters sailed from Cyprus on Saturday to draw attention to the blockade. Israel initially hinted it would block the ships but decided not to interfere. That approach is likely to be repeated when they leave, Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said.
In Gaza on Sunday, the protesters met with Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh. On Monday, the group escorted Palestinian fishermen beyond the sailing limit enforced by the Israeli navy off Gaza's coast. Israeli navy ships trailed them but did not communicate with them or interfere, according to Huwaida Arraf, one of the protesters.
Arraf said one of the ships would depart for Cyprus on Wednesday, while the other would remain in Gaza for the time being. The protesters intend to return regularly from Cyprus to Gaza, she said, "establishing a ferry service, if you will."
This ferry would bring in the needed supplies of balloons and hearing aids that are so desperately needed by the people of Gaza. And they plan on removing a few dozen or so
These idiots can even sing their new protest song.

Seriously, what a bunch of boneheads. I work with a gal who's evidently concerned about the plight of the Palestinians, and is THUS, vehemently opposed to the Israeli occupation. Unfortunately, as a Leftist, she's about as obtuse as they come. Where is the outrage for the Israeli citizens that have been targeted by daily Hamas rocket attacks launched from the Gaza strip, which was supposed to be a land-for-peace deal. Where's the peace?
