“Israel is showing the world the extent to which it will go to deny Palestinians the aid they need to stay alive, in direct contravention of International Humanitarian Law, UN Security Council resolutions, and two orders of the International Court of Justice.”
“Israel is only allowed to get away with this because we have an international order where law does not apply equally, where people are not valued the same, and where might equals right. The US has hijacked international law and is violating its own laws to protect Israel at every turn.”
The latest word from the Freedom Flotilla and MRSCP member Cassandra Dixon is that Israel & the US have succeeded in temporarily stopping the Flotilla from setting sale, this time by arm-twisting Guinea Bissau into withdrawing its flagging of two of the ships, delaying the departure of the boats indefinitely.
As a result, participants will be returning home to their countries and the Flotilla will have to be rescheduled. The 5500 tons of non-perishable aid will now have to be re-routed to attempt delivery by land.
Here is today’s press conference from the Flotilla which explains what happened in detail.
And here is a recent story from Al Jazeera on the flotilla. And of course, UN representatives demanded that the flotilla be allowed to sail but to no avail.
