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.

A ship is not like an airplane in flight. It can receive weaponry and additional cargo at any time. I say screw the Rachel Corrie.

Guess they will never give up on trying to make that stupid little bitch into a heroine. Rachel Corrie needed killing, it was an enhancement to the gene pool.

Inspected by the “Irish Green Party”, eh? Bunch of Commies. We’ll see what’s on there after it is inspected by the Israelis.

Rachel Corrie did not know enough to get out of the way of a bulldozer. Hopefully the ship will suffer the same fate.

When she was at dock or anchor a guy with scuba gear and a few shaped cutting charges could sheer her props and send them to the bottom with very little problem. In fact if they hit her screw shafts as well you are talking dry-dock time and major expense to repair.
Preemption with plausible deniablity, something the Israelis are pretty damn good at.

Israel should just send out an armada of tug boat and gently shove the Rachel Corrie back out to sea.

Just wait till they get into Israeli waters and sink it. Running a Naval Blockade is an act of war.

The Rachel Corrie is named after an American peace activist killed in the Gaza Strip in 2003. Even a supposedly "neutral" news story can't call things by their right names. Rachel Corrie was an extermination of the Jews activist.

Great moments in leftist theater. They neglect to mention that Rachel Corrie hated Israel. Where’s that picture of her burning the Israeli flag?
