The Israeli Navy reportedly blockades a Libyan-chartered aid vessel which has set sail for the blockaded Gaza Strip, issuing threats against the convoy.

"Israeli warships are surrounding and threatening the cargo ship. There is a real threat," said Yussef Sawan, the executive director of the Tripoli-based Gaddafi International Charity and Development Association, AFP reported.

The organization tasked the seaborne mission on board the Moldova-flagged cargo ship, Amalthea, to break Tel Aviv's years-long siege of Gaza. The vessel is carrying 12 crewmembers and 2,000 tons of relief supplies from Greece to the impoverished sliver.

Communications with the ship are being jammed, Sawan added, pointing at possible electronic obstructions against the humanitarian effort.

The bid follows the Israeli commandos' May 31 killing of nine Turks among the Freedom Flotilla, a hundreds-strong aid convoy, which intended to fulfill the same mission. The attack sent shockwaves across the world and gave rise to global calls for an international investigation into the incident.

Tel Aviv, however, subsequently insisted it will not allow any seaborne convoys to reach the strip. "I say very clearly, no ship will arrive in Gaza. We will not permit our sovereignty to be harmed," Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said on Army Radio on Sunday. Israel's Defense Minister Ehud Barak also branded the bid as "unnecessary provocation."

Israel, meanwhile, campaigned to seek foreign cooperation against the effort, while obliging the ship head either towards the port of El-Arish in Egypt or the Israeli port of Ashdod. Sawan earlier denied reports that the ship was heading towards El-Arish.

Mashallah Zwei, a representative for the Libyan charity, who is accompanying the mission, had clarified earlier that the organization was not seeking "a confrontation or a provocation."

"We only have food, medicine and young pacifists on the boat." "The Israelis can inspect the ship and if they have an ounce of humanity they will let us unload in Gaza," he added, calling for international pressure on the regime not to disrupt the relief bid.

  • Fuck Israel, the source of all evit in this century. If some country or power could deny them access to Gold (Golda , Goldberg, Golders Green, Goldenberg, Goldfeld, Golda mayer, Goldstien, etc,) or Silverstein, SIlverman, etc. Suiing European Banks for what happened 60 years ago when they were controliling all banks & money markets & deservadly were denied the financial control of Europe's economy with such a low percenatge of popln., I would say YES, THEY ARE MONEY GRABBING USURERS as before

  • @Bahman407 Well said and couldnt agree with you more. Thanks because someone has to bring these things to the Universes attention.

  • @majikspell1 Part 2 of my response In the olden days there was a Hitler who got pissed off with their activities and unfortunately went too far & extreme dealing with it & massacred hundreds of thousands of them ( which was wrong & we all condemn that) He could have treated them as normal citizens but strip them off their banking & commercial operations control of the country. Just dreaming what could have solved this problem without having a genocide

  • @Bahman407 What I do not understand is how it was unacceptable for the Nazis to behave like this to them yet they do the same everyday in Palestine. ... yet the world is still only watching.

  • Israeli arms distribution company Global CST has reportedly, under the authorization of Tel Aviv, provided Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi with African mercenaries to clamp down on anti-government protesters.

    Egyptian sources have revealed that the Israeli company has so far provided Gaddafi's regime with 50,000 African mercenaries to attack the civilian anti-government protesters in Libya.

  • @majikspell1 Part 1 of 2 of my response

    Thanks. It’s nice to hear from people who are not extremists, yet understand what is fair & not. These people managed the money markets since in those days Christians & Muslims wouldn't touch misery & usurer & Jews did. Unfortunately, they won hence we have wall street, owned & controlled by Jews who drove us into this financial crisis because of their greed & love of money.
