Israeli Navy Seizes Gaza-Bound Pro-Palestinian Ship 
----------------------------------------------------



Israeli Navy commanders have seized a French ship carrying
pro-Palestinian activists bound for Gaza. The French ship, Dignity
al-Karama, set sail from Greece on Saturday. Among its 16 passengers
were people from France, Canada, Greece, Sweden and Tunisia. The ship
was supposed to be part of a large international aid flotilla to Gaza,
but none of the other ships managed to leave port due to sabotage and
interference by the Greek government.
