NLG IC calls on US government end its pressure on the Greek government and demand that Israel refrain from attacking the flotilla

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - Today, the U.S. Boat to Gaza, the Audacity of Hope, was stopped by the Greek Coast Guard as it attempted to begin its journey to Gaza, apparently as a result of U.S/Israeli pressure.

The National Lawyers Guild International Committee called on the US government to end its pressure on the Greek government to act against the Flotilla and demand that Israel refrain from violence against peaceful protesters soon to be embarking on Freedom Flotilla Two...

Write to and call the Greek government

We must all get involved. Volunteers are still needed in all areas. Please email us and come work with us. Silence is complicity and action is the best antidote to despair

(BETHLEHEM) - The Greek authorities apparently succumbed to the US and Israel threats and have stopped the humanitarian ships from sailing to break the illegal and immoral siege in Gaza.

We all need to call Greek embassies around the world and complain because if they maintain this policy it means they are complicit in violations of basic human rights; human rights organizations and the UN has called the siege on Gaza collective punishment and a crime against humanity.

Israeli Morality

Freedom Flotilla II - their calls for peace are translated falsely as something they are not. This in fact may be the supreme sin.

(ATHENS) - This poem by a Gaza peace activist who uses the name, Eva for Equal Rights, cuts to the heart of the matter of human misery pitted against militant determination.

We hear in these verses the frustration of human beings filled with love, seeking to end suffering; who their own governments, in many cases, have turned their backs on.

The Gaza Freedom Flotilla has Set Sail

"Now Israel is saying they will let us go (as if we ever asked them for permission) and they have made an arrangement with the Egyptians to offload our cargo in Al Arish. They don't get it. We are going to Gaza. We are opening the sea route to Gaza. We go to stop the illegal blockade. We're NOT going to Al Arish." - Greta Berlin

(ATHENS) - In spite of Israel's threats of violence (snipers, attack dogs, sound bombs) against unarmed people on unarmed ships, threats from the US government of legal action against American participants, and the Obama administration's clear permission granted to Israel to attack the boats, including the American-flagged "Audacity of Hope", the FLOTILLA HAS SET SAIL!

The first boat left France today.
