sailing to Gazza
The European Campaign to End the Siege on Gaza (ECESG) has issued a press release to remind everyone that what promises to be the largest flotilla yet, comprising 15 ships carrying passengers from 12 European states as well as Latin America, Africa, Asia, Canada and the United States, is due to sail for Gaza in late May.
Passengers will include hundreds of peace advocates, including parliamentarians and human rights activists, and representatives of more than 40 media institutions.
Decent people will face Israeli snipers and attack dogs
Campaign organizers say that Israel has responded by threatening once again to use deadly force to stop the flotilla, including snipers and attack dogs. According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Israel Defence Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi has warned that "if the IDF is faced with a similar situation in the future, there may be no alternative to deploying snipers to minimize troop casualties".
