The Rachel Corrie, a ship with aid bound for Gaza, is 100 miles south of Crete and is planning to arrive in Gaza late Friday or early Saturday, according to the Free Gaza Movement.
The boat, which left from Ireland, was carrying 550 tons of cement, educational materials, toys, and medical equipment. The group said the ship was inspected for weapons by customs officials and a senator from the Irish Green Party. No weapons were found.

The Rachel Corrie is named after an American peace activist killed in the Gaza Strip in 2003.

Rachel Corrie appears to have had a pathological hatred for Israel. Not exactly a peaceful state of mind.
Best post of the day!
The Rachael Corrie, eh? Does it have a Caterpillar engine?
With apologies to the Edmund Fitzgerald & Gordon Lightfoot...
THE DEATH of the FLAT RACHEL CORRIE
The legend lives on from Palestinians on down
Of the big thing they call a bulldozer
The dozer, its said, always flattens its dead
When the left wing protesters turn looney.
With a carbon steel frame sixty-two metric tons more
Than the flat Rachael Corrie weighed empty.
The blade it is true is a thing to be feared
When the treads of the dozer start rolling.
The Cat was the pride of the Israeli side
Coming back from some hill in the Gaza
As the big dozers go, it was bigger than most
With a diesel of four hundred horses
Concluding some berms with a couple of quick turns
When they left fully fueled up for Rafah
When later that day her megaphone sang
Could it be that dumb bitch they was hearin?
The dirt in the treads made a tattle-tale sound
As the mud broke over the blading
And every man knew, as Miss Corrie did too,
Twas a big Caterpillar come dozin.
The blade came down and the dumb twit stood her ground
When the D9 bulldozer came plowin.
Devoid of good sense and ignoring all risk
She turned her back on the oncoming dozer.
When it finally came, the dumb bitch kept her place sayin
Surely, theyll stop what theyre doing.
Under the tread her air pathway caved in, she said
Dammit, this shouldnt have happened!
Her friends called in that the blonde bitch was down,
And the bomb laden house was in peril.
And later that day when her lights went outta sight
Came the death of the flat Rachael Corrie.
Does any one know where the sense of libs go
When the blade turns the minutes to hours?
The soldiers all say shed have got out okay
If shed put fifteen more feet behind her.
She might have been crushed or she might have split wide;
May have broke ribs and her bladder.
And all that remains is the traces and the stains
Of her imprint, the tread tracks and splatter.
Arafat stews, Hizbollah spews
From the rooms of their compounds in Gaza.
The ISM screams like a spoiled preteen
They voice their support for the terror.
And dont we all know, when the buses explode
Theyll march out their apologists willing,
Now activists go as the drivers all know
With the big caterpillars remembered.
In a musty old room in Ramallah they prayed,
In the ISM office of terror.
The door bell chimed till it rang seventy-two times
For each tread on the big Caterpiller.
The legend lives on from Palestinians on down
Of the big thing they call a bulldozer.
The dozer, they said, always flattens its dead
When left wing protestors turn looney!
I’d sink it by dropping scrap bulldozers on it.
The Islamists have some gall to name a ship the "Rachel Corrie" and to make her into a martyr.
Loaded with food aid in the form of pancake mix.
If the cement is for eating, it might indeed be humand to let it through.
I predict their efforts will fall flat.
There...fixed it.
Now they have a flattop? Who knew?
ah hahaha... awesome pic
Ireland ping! This is an issue dear to Irish_Thatcherite’s heart.
If there is no contraband on the ship, there should be no problem docking at Ashdod for one final inspection before proceeding to Gaza.
No?
Then, they are “Blockade Running”, breaking the law, and all bets are off.
“Green Party”
Vegitarians, like Hitler. (Value animal life above humans.)
So, because it was checked before it left port, are they suggesting that Israel just “trust them”? I don’t care who checked it at port before it left — they don’t know if perchance they met up with other boats in the middle of the ocean! I suppose they will say that there is no need to go to Ashdod - that they should be able to proceed through the blockade without any inspection... Yeah... Good luck with that!
GOD BLESS ISRAEL and all her TRUE friends!
I think it was an American flag.
ML/NJLOL..that pic of dozer being air-dropped kills me...hahaha
