‘Free Gaza’ Leftist Ship Capsized
(IsraelNN.com) A boat used by the leftist “Free Gaza” organization to challenge Israel’s sovereignty over Gaza waters capsized on Monday. The ship, Dignity, was used “to protest the embargo” imposed by the IDF as a means of preventing Hamas terrorists from importing weaponry.
The group’s spokesperson, Ramzi Kysia, said that the 66-foot (20 meter) length boat capsized due to poor weather conditions. He added that he does not suspect that the boat was sabotaged in any way.
I don’t know if ‘sabotaged in any way’ is quite accurate, though. I would personally say that ‘owned and crewed by people who voluntarily have inserted their thumb in their anus’ qualifies.

*No, she wasn’t on it; and you should be ashamed of yourself if you hoped that she was. Not nice of you, even if she is a babbling anti-Semitic lunatic.
Note that it’s perfectly acceptable to hope that her life savings were on that boat. Or maybe her laptop. Essentially, anything not actually alive.

Investigators theorize that the ballast shifted during heavy seas, causing a large, abandoned suitcase full of garish clothing to crash through the hull.
