Viva Falestina | 26.05.2010 17:16 | Anti-militarism | Palestine
The Gaza Freedom Flotilla is under threat from the Israeli navy and other Israeli forces, including Israeli civilian yachts, all determind to terrorise the Human Rights Defenders, in order to keep under barbaric siege 1.5 million Palestinian in Gaza .
Given the recent Israeli threats and the fate of the Spirit of Humanity, when in June 2009 the Israeli navy terrorised and kidnapped all on boards, there will be worldwide protests at Israeli embassies: London: Thu 27 May, 12-2pm
We will be joined by the mother of Alex Harrison, who last year was kidnapped from Spirit of Humanity, but is not giving up and is now on the flotilla.

The Free Gaza flotilla is on its way to Gaza. Unlike previous Free Gaza boats, this flotilla includes large vessels, will be carrying substantial amounts of reconstruction supplies, medical and school supplies, and 800 passengers from 50 countries. It cannot afford to fail. This is an opportunity to denounce the inhumanity of Israel's three year long siege and running. Israel said it will stop the boats from reaching Gaza, they have done it before and they can do it again:

If the convoy has already been attacked or blockaded, our demonstration will be a powerful protest. If it has not yet arrived, our demonstration will be a demand that it be allowed to pass without interference or attack by the Israeli navy and other Israelis attempting to sabbotage Gaza Freedom Flotilla from reaching Gaza.
All EU states are committed, via their embassies, to supporting Human Rights Defenders of any nationality. When alerted that HRDs are under threat, individual member countries or the EU as a whole, should make an official protest to the government concerned. The British Foreign Office in London and the British Embassy in Tel Aviv, should be reminded of their responsibilities under the EU guidelines on Human Rights Defenders.
Please write to the new Secretary of State- FCO, William Hague:
