21 miles off the coast of Palestine...
Media_httpwwwbbccoukb_gigfz

A ship full of Jewish refugees, many of them survivors of the Holocaust, tried to break the British blockade of Palestine in 1947. British soldiers boarded the ship 21 miles off the coast of Palestine killing three of the refugees and wounding others. It caused an international scandal and was a PR disaster for the British government. It is seen in Israel today as one of the most significant events that led to the founding of the modern Israeli state.
