A Turkish NGO said it would send ships to the Gaza Strip to provide emergency aid to Palestinians trapped in a month-long offensive by Israel. The decision comes four years after Israeli commandos stormed a Gaza-bound ship, killing 10.
The Humanitarian Relief Foundation (IHH) announced in an emailed statement that members of a "coalition" of activists from a dozen countries had met in Istanbul at the weekend and committed themselves to launching an aid flotilla "in the shadow of the latest Israeli aggression on Gaza," Reuters reported.
"The Freedom Flotilla Coalition affirmed that, as most governments are complicit, the responsibility falls on civil society to challenge the Israeli blockade on Gaza," it said.
An IHH spokesperson for the agency provided no details, saying only that IHH would hold a news conference on Tuesday.
Israel and the Palestinians began an Egyptian-brokered 72-hour ceasefire early on Monday.

Sink ‘em.
By now, maybe the DMFs have learned to not attack the IDF when they board their scowls.
Kick those MFers out of NATO.
Meanwhile hundreds die everyday from Islamic disease in Iraq, Syria and Africa.
Now that’s what Bibi needs for the flotilla.
Well, I guess if your IQ barely reaches into the double digits then restrained self-defense looks like genocide to you.
Hell, kick us out of nato. And the un while they’re at it.
Don’t come cry to me if you get butt kick by IDF honey you been warn
Yup.
Yeah but what if it’s considered an attack on NATO?
Should have kicked them out in 74 after they invaded Cyprus.
“emergency aid” is more rockets
If the Israels would board this thing and drop a single small charge into the hold, the ship would explode like Krakatoa.
there are legal and safe channels to send any non-military aid into gaza. An obviously provocation like an illegal attempt to break through Israel’s defense lines ... will be met with a suitable response. Boats can sink. Glub. Glub. Enjoy your trip to Allah, boys.

How about the UN I go for that LOL!
yep
Maybe the Israelis can remotely ignite any detonators on board, like IEDs are set off using cell phones.
I’ve always liked Israel for its innate good qualities. Now I’m judging it by the abysmal nature of its enemies.
Israel looks better & better every day.
