Jewish Voices for a Just Peace seeks second vessel, as dozens more activists ask to take part in aid mission.
An association of German Jews planning to send a boat with humanitarian aid to break the Gaza blockade is searching for a second vessel, given the high number of requests to travel with the group.
The group, Jewish Voices for a Just Peace, had originally planned to send one small vessel from an unnamed Mediterranean port in mid- July, with the intention of getting aid past the Israeli-imposed blockade of Gaza.

However, spokeswoman Edith Lutz told dpa that "our preparations have been held back somewhat because we have been inundated with requests to travel."
Lutz said that the first vessel, which could hold up to 14 passengers, was now full and that a further 40 German Jews were seeking to travel aboard a second vessel.

In un porto del mediterraneo (e non diciamo per ora quale) un piccolo vascello aspetta una missione speciale: partirà per Gaza. Per evitare sabotaggi, data e nome esatto del porto di partenza verranno annunciati solo poco prima della partenza.
"Il nostro obiettivo è chiedere la fine dell'assedio di Gaza, di questa illegale punizione collettiva della intera popolazione civile. La nostra barca è piccola, per questo quello che portiamo può solo essere simbolico: portiamo borse per la scuola, piene di regali degli studenti delle scuole in Germania, strumenti musicali e materiali artistici. Per i servizi medici portiamo medicine essenziali e piccole attrezzature mediche e per i pescatori portiamo reti e attrezzature. Siamo in collegamento con i servizi medici, educativi e mentali a Gaza."

The German-Jewish organization Jewish Voice for Peace in the Middle East is preparing a Jewish flotilla to the Gaza Strip. "We intend to leave around July," a member of the organization, Kate Leiterer, said to Ynet. "We have one small craft so far, in which there will be between 12 and 16 people, mostly Jews."
Leiterer, herself Jewish, said there was great interest in joining. "Getting another boat means more expenses, and we're discussing this possibility," she said. "Because of limited space, there will be school equipment, candy, and mainly musical equipment, and there'll be musicians aboard who'll teach the children of Gaza. They need to see that Jews are not what how they are drawn in their eyes."
