Peace ships break through Israel’s blockade of Gaza
That is a bloody good story. Well written, truthful, and kinda nice. That one of the blokes was from Melbourne is no doubt why it was printed, but it also good to see Jeff Halper getting a shout out, being a damned fine journalist. It also refreshing to see Fatah’s coup attempt refered to as just that. Too often it is ‘factional fighting’ or ‘Palestinian in-fighting’ which fails to recognise the seriousness of the coup attempt (which was carried out with US arms – funny how weapons can make it through the blockade).
