Bearing food aid and wearing “Don’t Starve Gaza!” t-shirts, dozens of Israeli activists drove towards the border of the besieged territory on Thursday in a show of support for Palestinians.
The 30-vehicle convoy got within three kilometres of the Kerem Shalom border crossing before police turned it back.
Organisers had expected that outcome, and they acknowledged the convoy was a symbolic act in a society in which their focus on the plight of Palestinians places them in the minority.
