Boats that last wednesday defied Israels inhuman blocade of the Gaza strip by sailing into Gaza from Cyprus are now planning to smuggle out two students which the State of Israel refers to as 'wanted terrorists'. Israel says it will not try to stop the boats

The two Palestinian students received Fulbright scholarships in the US but were denied visas. Israel has decided not to stop and inspect the boats as they leave Gaza because they are aware that the Media attention would not be favourable.
