Jewish activists set sail for Gaza to breach blockade

A BOAT carrying Jewish activists from Israel, Germany, the US and Britain set sail yesterday for Gaza, hoping to breach Israel’s blockade there and deliver aid.

Richard Kuper, an organiser with the British group Jews for Justice for Palestinians, said one goal is to show that not all Jews support Israeli policies toward Palestinians.

Kuper said the boat, which set sail from northern Cyprus flying a British flag, won’t resist if Israeli authorities try to stop it.
