an Islamist movement?

Yeah also, the use of the words "Hamas, an Islamist movement opposed to peace", wow way to dumb down words. They're called terrorists, not simply 'a movement opposed to peace', violent terrorists.

Are we sure it was for Gaza?

Given the ship was German and running for a French company, is it not conceivable that it was intended for Benghazi rather than Gaza?

Why are the words weapons

Why are the words weapons ship put in marks in your headline? I check the other headlines on your site, and you do not use them... are you trying to contend that this was not a 'weapons ship'? And if so, why? You yourself report that the ship was running weapons... strange, subtle use of writing ????
