It has now been confirmed that two ships that were to take part in the Freedom Flotilla II to Gaza have been sabotaged. One boat, a joint Greek-Swedish passenger boat, harboured in a Greek port was found with a damaged axel on Tuesday afternoon, and now another boat, an Irish passenger boat, in a Turkish harbour has been found to have exactly the same damage.

Despite pressure from Israel upon the Greek government to stop the flotilla II from setting sail from Greek ports, in the press conference today activists from around the world, including parliamentary members, authors and other notables, declared their intention to continue their attempts to support the people of Palestine by brining aid and opening up the Gazan port to international sea traffic.

This is a link to a recording from the Greek ship 'sfendoni' which was among those in the freedom flotilla on their way to Gaza. There were many nationalities on board, not to mention the Israelis, so there is English spoken as well. This recording needs no explanation. It is witness enough.

We are giving our spirit and blood, freedom to Palestine, freedom to Gaza.
