#1 Meanwhile, a spokesman for the Free Gaza Movement, Ramzi Kysia, has claimed that a member of the movement, Lauren Booth, received a threatening phone call at her home in France on Thursday.

Most likely your group itself make the threatening phone call themselves. Why would Israel need to make threatening phone calls?

Why? Because anyone who still thinks Gaza is 'occupied' would be just too stupid to understand a threat.

Me? I would have searched the boats (with full video coverage) on the way in and on the way out -- and then perhaps not let them out.

#2 Officials said the navy had a number of options in dealing with the boats

All sorts of things come to mind. Didn't the Israelis just debut a new stink agent that they spray on rowdy demonstrators?

#4 The boats are expected to ... unload equipment..

Unload equipment? What sort of equipment? I expect the Israelis have a keen interest in the answer to that question.
