So far, the latest set-up against Israel has gone as planned. World opinion gives an easy win to the Islamists with this one. On May 31, 2010 a phony ‘peace flotilla’ set sail from Turkey for Gaza. The idea was to defy the maritime blockade that Israel had set up – something sanctioned by the U.S. and international law – so that terrorists could bring deadly weapons into the hands of Gaza terrorists. Israel has previous experience of seemingly innocuous ships that were heavily stocked with armaments, and it was appropriately suspicious of this convoy.
