Why I’m not on my way to Gaza (the IDF had nothing to do with it)
Technical problems kept myself and almost 20 other women off the latest Gaza flotilla. Despite my disappointment, I wish these inspirational women nothing but a safe journey. “If everything goes according to plan, on Monday, September 26 an all-woman flotilla will set sail for Gaza.
