The Canadian ship "Tahrir", participating in the flotilla to Gaza, attempted to depart Monday from the Greek port of Agios Nikolaos, but was intercepted by the Greek coast guard shortly after departure.
The Greek coast guard boarded the Canadian ship after the Greek authorities had banned the departure of all ships to Gaza from its ports.
As the Canadian ship departed from the port with all passengers on board wearing life vests, the Greek coastguard tracked the ship in the water and boarded it within minutes.
After seizing the ship, coast guard officers asked who was the captain but the passengers refused to reply, with every passenger saying that he was the captain.
Some of the passengers yelled "release our ship!" and one of the protesters asked two coast guard officers whether they had children, and whether they were thinking about the children in Gaza.
Greek coast guard officers are currently sailing the Tahrir back to the port, and the passengers are all due to be taken into custody by Greek authorities.

Banning ships to go to Gaza is political policy not law. The only reason Greece can get away with it is because it knows that Israel's toadies in these governments will not do anything to defend their citizens.

Greece can "get away with it" because the UN and most western countries, as well as many Arab/Muslim countries that oppose Hamas, support them.
Including palistanians, of course?Everything else about Israel is Illegal.
