This is too funny. Guess their Cap'n should have known Greece doesn't allow boats to sail for Gaza lol............

The Greek coastguard intercepted a boat carrying US activists soon after they set sail from Greece on Friday to join a pro-Palestinian flotilla to Gaza, one of the activists said.

The boat, dubbed The Audacity of Hope, had just left Perama port, near Piraeus, for the open seas, a Reuters witness said.

Considering that the Obama Administration has threatened to prosecute any US citizens participating in the Gaza flotilla under the Patriot Act, I'm surprised the boat has that name.

Default 'Its not about the aid" say flotilla members

Not so much about "humanitarian aid" afterall since they refused to allow their "aid" to be delivered for them.

israel today | Gaza flotilla activists: It's not about the aid! - israel today

Quote:
Activists involved with the bogged-down "Gaza Freedom Flotilla" acknowledged on Sunday that their purpose is not really to deliver humanitarian aid to the residents of the Gaza Strip, but rather to provoke a confrontation with the Israeli navy.
Quote:
Greek authorities said that if the goal of the group is truly to deliver humanitarian aid, then the goods can be transfered to Greek ships that will get the aid into Gaza by working with Israel.

The flotilla organizers rejected the offer.
Of course they did, it was never about humanitarian aid.

Audacity of Hope?

Sweet Mary Mother of Jesus.....you're kidding right? Sink that mother****er! The correlation to Barack Obama is too suspect to make that boat worthy of any port anywhere!
