The Guardian is reporting that thanks to Amnesty International, Greek and maybe some other EU officials, the weapons shipment that was due to leave Greece for Israel this week has been stopped and for now, "no EU member state will allow their ports or other facilities to be used to transit these or any other weapons to any of the parties to this conflict."

Thanks to the Greek Protests

ADDITION/UPDATE
Actually, after more careful reading of the article, it was not Amnesty Int. alone, or the EU politicos, but also
local protests who had at least the effect of "delaying" the transport...
"But after a two week stand-off, amid local protests in Greece, it moved out into the Mediterranean two days ago and disappeared off tracking websites"
KEEP THE HEAT ON the MERCHANTS of DEATH!

Cargo NOT stopped for good - action needed to stop it

Hi all,
although the cargo's been delayed, and refused entry in Greece, there's no indication from any of the news coverage that it's been stopped altogether, and the ship has now apparently gone off the radar.
Action's still needed NOW to stop the ship from going on to Israel, or loading its cargo onto other ships to feed to Israel.
