TODAY'S  DEMOCRACY NOW!:

* "Free Gaza" Boats Set Sail from Cyprus to Break Israeli  Blockade *

Two converted fishing boats set sail from Cyprus today  carrying more than 
forty activists and humanitarian workers who are part of the  Free Gaza movement 
that is trying to break the Israeli blockade on the Gaza  Strip. The Israeli 
foreign ministry said in an open letter to the participants,  "We assume that 
your intentions are good but, in fact, the result of your action  is that you 
are supporting the regime of a terrorist organization in Gaza." We  speak with 
three of the activists at sea: Huwaida Arraf, co-founder of the  
International Solidarity Movement; Lauren Booth, a journalist and sister-in-law  of former 
British Prime Minister Tony Blair; and Israeli anthropology professor  Jeff 
Halper of the Israeli Committee Against House  Demolitions.
