Before the Gaza Freedom Flotilla steamed out of Cyprus laden with thousands of tons of aid for the blockaded Gaza Strip, some of the passengers on a Turkish-flagged cruise ship spoke to news crews filming their departure. “ We are now waiting for one of two good things — either to reach Gaza or achieve martyrdom ,” said one woman in a headscarf. After a night of bloodshed on the high seas on Monday, at least nine of her fellow passengers, most of them believed to be Turks, had achieved the latter. The shockwaves from the Israeli commando raid on the Mavi Marmara passenger ferry were still reverberating around the w...
