One of the main organizers of a flotilla of nine European ships that will attempt to sail to Gaza next week is a radical leftist former Israeli living in Sweden, Dror Filer. In an interview Thursday, Filer said that the ships would include hundreds of anti-Israel activists and a number of parliamentarians from European countries. The activists were told to bring three weeks worth of supplies. The ships are set to arrive in Israel next week.
Filer achieved notoriety six years ago when Israel's ambassador in Sweden at the time, Zvi Mazel, prevented Filer from going ahead with a presentation that portrayed a female Arab suicide bomber as Snow White.
