Less than a week after Hamas terrorists murdered four Israeli civilians in a calculated attempt to scupper peace talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority in Washington, it has emerged that a flotilla of up to 20 “aid” ships to Hamas-run Gaza is to be launched in the next weeks and months by a group called European Jews for a Just Peace (EJJP).

The Jerusalem Post reports today that the IDF is preparing for the “mother of all flotillas” in which other NGOs will join EJJP presumably in an attempt to recreate the public relations disaster for Israel which ensued after the boarding of the Mavi Marmara in May this year.
