#2 FLOTILLA UPDATE LATEST NEWS

Still feeling angry that Hedy Epstein the 86 year old holocaust survivor won't get to Gaza yet again!! Neither will any of our Irish TD's and many other dignitaries and politicians who were banned from leaving Cyprus!! If you missed that earlier update report it's here. Few things to report since the post this morning. Firstly an update from a passenger onboard the ship:
Salaam I will have to make this quick as I have snuck into the press room and i am not meant to be here!

The last 3 days have been very difficult as we have been stationary in international waters awaiting the arrival of all the other ships. The Irish ship is too far behind so will not be joining us but we are now 6 ships in total. Times have been hard but we expect them to get even harder. The showdown with the Israelis is expected tonight.

we need as much help from you guys as possible send emails write try and create as much awareness as you can we need the international community to stand up against this injustice.

Keep checking the IHH website for live streams on the boat but we are also expecting the israelis to jam our communications.

Most of all remember us in your duas inshallah!

Salaam your Brother Tauqir
And this:
the ships are 58 nm from the Lebanese coasts. They changed direction so that they move SW in order to be out of the 65 nm and approach the costs again when they will be much southern and closer to GAZA.
Below is a map of where the boats are right now at 16:00 GMT and this map shows where the Zionist Pirates intercepted the ships the last time (red marker), the blue markers are the boats, click to enlarge detail:


you can follow that map for updates here

Also, You can watch the live streaming from the Turkish Boat the "Mavi Marmara" below, which is carrying about 700 people. Although the broadcast is in Turkish when anyone speaks, mostly, still you can watch the passengers and see the ocean ahead when they begin to near Gazan waters and the scumbag Zionist pirates enter the scene:



Watch live streaming video from insaniyardim at livestream.com

For all you Greeks, you can follow the Greek ships here where there is also a live updating map.

It's going to be a long night and an even longer day starting tomorrow morning when this gets critical. If the flotilla are smart they will stay well away from nearing the Gaza waters in darkness, forcing Israel to make it's move in daylight, so the world can at least see them approaching on the live feed above. I expect the Zionist pirates on approach to disable the flotilla's sat navigantional systems and transmissions, rendering the boats unable to move, dead in the water like the USS Liberty. Then the terrorists will attempt to board and kidnap the passengers and crew without media coverage available as transmission will be disabled so the terrorist pirates can do as they like with the world not witnsessing anything. So, in the morning people will need to be ready and on their game, good luck to them all!!!

FLOTILLA UPDATE SUNDAY 30 MAY
Well, bad news folks. Here's my prediction;The Zionist have had a major victory already, they have managed to separate the important passengers, the dignitaries, the politicians, the famous people, from the Flotilla. Using Cyprus as their agent.

Without these people Israel has more opportunity to be, shall we say "less welcoming" and "less fearful" of both attacking the boats and claiming all sorts of things about the passengers! Far easier for them to attack the ships without Politicians on board who can then go home and report to their respective countries of the treatment Israel handed out to the flotilla. So, no dignitaries or politicians to witness Israel's upcoming acts of aggression!

So now Israel must deal with all those journalists on board transmitting to news channels and live streaming internet sites. No worries, they have a plan. The Zionists will use electronic warfare to disable all transmissions and satellite navigation on the Flotilla, leaving them dead in the water, much like the USS Liberty! Journalists won't be able to report or transmit from the ships. Israel can do what it likes in secret. Then they will begin the attempts to board the flotilla, once they are sure all the transmissions are jammed so the world can't see what they are doing! Then everyone will be taken to the newly built concentration camp where they will be searched by soldiers and dogs, along with being threatened. I expect all cameras will be confiscated, film destroyed, as Israel will make every attempt to keep any videos or photos hidden or destroyed, again covering up their crimes.

today's update:

The Cypriot Govt has acted as an Israeli agent, in conjunction with Israel, to sabotage the Flotilla, laying a devastating blow indeed. All the major players, the dignitaries like Hedy Epstein, and the Parliamentarians, including Irish Aengus Ó Snodaigh TD Sinn Féin’s spokesperson on social and family affairs, housing, justice and international affairs, along with Chris Andrews TD Fianna Fáil, Senator Mark Daly Fianna Fáil were to board smaller boats to be taken to the larger flotilla passenger boat at sea. Here's what happened, followed by more updates:
Saturday, May 29, 2010

After tremendous pressure from the Greek Cypriots, reneging on their agreement with us http://www.cyprus-mail.com/cyprus/cyprus-stops-mps-joining-gaza-flotilla/20100529, we were forced to take our MPs and activists to Famagusta yesterday, on the Turkish/Cypriot side of Cyprus. We spent all day going from one port to the next, surrounded by helicopters and police. Clearly our deal with Cyprus officials had fallen through, and we ended up being pawns in a political soap opera. The Cypriot members of Parliament, the ones who had worked so hard to get us permission to leave, were outraged. The Greek Parliament members finally told us to go to the North. If they could, they would. The Cypriot government said they made their decision because, “The Republic of Cyprus is fighting for its survival” but it didn’t bow to pressure from Israel. As they said this, they bowed their heads.
We made a deal with the Cypriot government that we would board our high-profile passengers and members of Parliament from Cyprus. We would board with no media coverage. We would not bring our boats into Cyprus. We would take small boats out to our own ships and board past the 12-mile territorial limit.

Authorities mandated that we couldn’t even do that, essentially telling us that, even if we board small boats anywhere in Greek Cyprus from any port, we could not travel outside their territorial limits to go to Gaza. Twenty-seven people were supposed to board, including 9 Cypriots and two Greeks. None of them could come with us as we went North.

It has taken us all day to find someone on the Turkish side to ferry some of our passengers out to the flotilla who have been patiently waiting five hours away from Cyprus. At 6:00 pm, 20 of our passengers left for the flotilla, and the Swedish MP and the three German MPs are on board. Hedy is not, and we are heartsick that, once again, she will not be able to go to Gaza. source
Then this morning we heard this:
Aengus Ó Snodaigh TD Sinn Féin and Chris Andrews TD Fianna Fáil plus Senator Mark Daly Fianna Fáil headed home yesterday when organisers said group wouldn’t succeed in joining flotilla because of Cypriot gov actions. Police Helicopters, boats, plainclothes police along with port security were used to stop the group embarking. Turkish authorities didn’t seem willing to facilitate leaving from Famagusta late Friday. However,since then, some have managed to get out using one of the damaged boats to try to link up with flotilla. Ádh mór to them.
Additionally, more Irish have been given the treatment by Cyprus, at Israels behest:
Cypriot police stop the boat "Challenger 1"

The Challenger 1, Free Gaza passenger boat among the Freedom Flotilla, while holding for the other boats to join, close to Cyprus waters, has been contacted via radio by a Cypriot Police Helicopter. This video is recording the conversation. May 28th, 2010 Shane Dillon (Mate on Challenger 1) commented :
"it is rather shocking that an EU Country refused to let members of another EU Country's Parliament into its port on a humanitarian mission." Watch the video, this is an Irish Crew!! Still more after this:
Also, the dirty warfare has begun, Israel, using electronic warfare has disabled the satellite transmission of the boats and cell phones of people on board for several times briefly. I see this as a practice run for when the Flotilla nears Gazan waters. More after this:
all satellite phones on board had stopped working around 2 am, and said it was an external block placed on the lines.

The IDF had earlier announced it planned to disrupt the boats' communications as part of Israel's efforts to prevent the activists on board from speaking to the press. source
Now, sadly I see what's coming, don't you?
