Commenter Jed points out an Al Watan article on what appears to be the only Syrian aboard the flotilla, a woman named Shatha Barakat.

Her husband Ayman describes how he was born in Gaza and she wanted to use the flotilla as an opportunity to visit his family home. She was also working on a drama about the life of terrorist leader Sheikh Yassin.

Ayman was worried for his wife in Israeli hands. "She is not the conciliatory type. She is a tough woman from Syria, and she cherished a dream of striking a blow against Israel."

Elder of Ziyon - حـكـيـم صـهـيـون



This blog may be a labor of love for me, but it takes a lot of effort, time and money. For 20 years and 40,000 articles I have been providing accurate, original news that would have remained unnoticed. I've written hundreds of scoops and sometimes my reporting ends up making a real difference. I appreciate any donations you can give to keep this blog going.
