The boat, Irene, is sailing under a British flag and is carrying ten passengers and crew, including Jews from the US, the UK, Germany and Israel as well as an Israeli journalist. [jewishboattogaza.org, 9/26/2010]
The article gives details. Follow the tweet for up-to-date reports.
One item of cargo is musical instruments. Why? Because Israel prohibits their import to Gaza, according to another helpful tweet.
Absolutely wonderful news. This boat can join the U.S. boat that will be apart of the Free Gaza Flotilla in Oct.
