Israeli Zionists to Confront Pro-Gaza Activists at Sea


Israelis to Confront Pro-Gaza Activists at Sea

17-05-2010
While the Israelis debates how to deal with foreign activists' attempts to enter Gaza by sea, Israelis have come up with their own plan. A campaign calling to sail out and confront the foreign activists at sea has gained many followers – and 15 ships.

Arutz-7's the Hebrew news service spoke with Matan Freiman, one of the organizers of the counter protest. “Our goal is, first and foremost, to send a message to Turkey,” Freeman said.

Foreign ships making their way to Gaza are sponsored in large part by Turkey. The ships aim to break Israel's severe siege imposed on Gaza by entering the region through the sea. Turkish Prime Minister Reccep Tayyip Erdogan is hoping to win support in the Arab world at Israel's expense, according to Freiman..

Freiman would not give precise details of the planned confrontation at sea, but further details will be released as the date of the expedition approaches. Currently, Israeli Zionist activists are attempting to time things just right in order to meet foreign boats at sea before they reach Gaza waters.

The Israeli campaign to confront “Free Gaza” gained popularity rapidly, largely through social networking sites, Freiman said. He expressed optimism regarding the campaign's future, saying, “Many successful struggles began with private citizens, and did not go through official channels”.

Editors note: One can wonder where are Israeli citizens campaign to free Gaza and support Palestinian resistance activists, and confront the organizer Matan Freiman and his armada of " counter-protesters"?
