Please come out to Dewey and see below for other actions to support the 
flotilla*:

We have received word from the two ships en route to Gaza, the /Saoirse/ 
and the /Tahrir/, that Israeli warships are approaching both ship. The 
/Tahrir/ has received radio contact from the Israeli authorities, asking 
about their final destination. They replied, 'the conscience of 
humanity'. When asked again, they said 'The betterment of mankind'. 
Boarding and commandeering are imminent. On board the /Tahrir/ is one 
American, Kit Kittredge.

The boats are presently 48 nautical miles off the coast of Gaza. The 
first flotilla to break the siege was intercepted about 35 nautical 
miles off shore. [1]

the two ships!*
