From Bloomberg.
Aboard the ships were more than 500 people, including European members of parliament and Swedish author Henning Mankell, according to the Free Gaza Movement. Israeli Navy ships have intercepted three previous efforts by the Free Gaza Movement, formed in 2008 to deliver aid to the territory by sea.

Journalist Attempts CItizen Arrest of War Criminal Blair; MailOnline Removes Comments
An article in the Dailymail describes how a journalist attempted to arrest Tony Blair for war crimes at the European Parliament in Brussels.
Though Tony Blair in the article is quoted as defending himself with "I think it's important for you guys as well to not always mistake the protest for the general view of the whole population," the comments on the internet version of the article heaped scorn on him and applauded the man for attempting to arrest him. The website removed the comments, but it can clearly be seen that 203 comments were at one time posted. ( Screenshot of bottom half of article below. Notice "203 comments" next to "No comments have thus far been submitted." Yeah right. )

UPDATE:
The comments are back....here is some of the warm support for the former Prime Minister in a screenshot below.
