23. naming the boat the "liberty"....is a nice swipe at israel....

its in reminder of the Liberty boat that israeli jets/boats attacked in 67......its only controversial for those who dont know the facts or for those who dont want to..either way it does show the more sinister side of the boat activists.
assuming that they had nothing but pure intentions..then they wouldnt want to piss off a good part of the israeli population that does have some feelings for the Palestinians in Gaza
but by throwing the liberty incident into their actions they show just how easy it is to confuse pro palestine with anti israel....and this puts them squarely into the anti israel crowd .....
