Troubled Waters

Greek forces block one of the flotilla boats bound for the Gaza Strip. The boat tried to leave from the island of Crete but was towed back to port by the coast guard. Last week, Greece banned all boats participating in the flotilla from leaving port.

In this painitng, Troubled Waters, the small row boat represents the US vessel, The Audicity of Hope, which is simply trying to carry letters to the Palestinian people and was stopped by Greek authorities last week.
