Oh boy, hope nothing will happen. I'm pretty sure the people on board the Rachel Corrie have learnt from the floitilla and will not show any aggression. (Not saying that Israel was in the right on the first raid).

Interesting, I wonder what is going to happen. If the SHTF, I predict a retaliation from anti-Israeli military/militias etc. This is not going to be good, if war breaks out there might be a snowball effect and bring other factions into the conflict... Hope nothing happens.

I wonder why they aren't webcasting video from the ship like last time. I guess we won't get to watch Israeli commandos execute innocent people in real time and will have to settle for the spin and propaganda of what happened later on.

I am willing to bet the farm that the boarding party has orders not to harm anyone, no matter what happens.

That would lead to war with Turkey.

Not sure what this is. May be from the ship

This is on the Rachel Corrie but it does not appear to be live.


Just been told they HAVE been boarded. People in Dublin are surrounding the Isreali embassy.

Apparently it just got boarded, don't see that in those threads, this is new and wont get noticed in those other threads...

reply to post by gambon


Considering this is a Breaking News thread about the potential of Israel committing another international atrocity as it's happening. This should stay.

This thread is about a completely different ship to the earlier incident, so it should stay.

PuterMan, that link you posted, is that a live stream of the interior of the ship?

reply to post by FermiFlux


It is supposed to be, but I guess the signals are jammed so we can't see anything.

That seems to be just re-runs.

They're saying in the chat, ship was boarded 30 minutes ago, no violence, all occupants arrested. Captured 30 miles from Gaza.

ALL MEMBERS OF RACHEL CORRIE HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AND ARE BEING BROUGHT TO ASHDOOD

[edit on 4-6-2010 by BallsMahoney]

From reading the chat room on www.livestream.com... apparently Israeli troops have boarded and arrested the people on board...

Could be propaganda....

freegazaorg No struggle or injuries, but the Rachel Corrie has been captured. Communications jammed. Report from Irish radio. #Flotilla

I don't think it is propaganda.
