Israel Arrests Rabbis Attempting to Bring Aid into Gaza; Gaza Freedom Flotilla Stalled in Turkey
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Israeli authorities arrested seven people, including a number of rabbis
and Jewish American peace activists, who tried to bring aid into Gaza on
Friday. We will have more on this story later in the show.

Plans for a "Freedom Flotilla" to sail from Turkey to Gaza with 5,000
tons of lifesaving aid have stalled after Guinea-Bissau decided to
remove its flag from two of the vessels on the flotilla following
pressure from Israel. We will speak to an organizer of the flotilla
later in the broadcast.
