Trouble-makers THE Gaza-bound flotilla, manned by a group of hare-brained, air headed trouble-makers, was nothing more than a publicity stunt, as we have seen previously. They know full well that they will never reach Gaza, and al they have achieved previously is to make utter fools of themselves when they’ve been seen scoffing Israeli-supplied food while alleging maltreatment. It’s a shame they have nothing better to do with their time than sail the high seas looking for excitement and self-gratification. Robert Lewis, Harrogate.
