That might explain the dove logo. So, two reasons to name it Irene, and the latter reason might also explain why it only used her first name.<br /><br />Lovely idea anyway.

The Israelis were treated far worse than the internationals, no doubt as they were more of a threat to the propaganda narrative, and seen as traitors.Deborah Finkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05479916311984549156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640441812647446166.post-73226304493817904042010-09-29T20:21:56.992+01:002010-09-29T20:21:56.992+01:00Thanks Debbie.

It is even more reason why the Jewish ship (if you can have such a thing!) should be named after her!Tony Greensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14300640929161205370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640441812647446166.post-42472408705873312552010-09-29T01:58:49.079+01:002010-09-29T01:58:49.079+01:00Irene Bruegel was THE founder of JfJfP.
