London – At 22:45 local time tonight, the MV Rachel Corrie, a 1200-ton
cargo ship, part of the eight-vessel Freedom Flotilla, set sail from
Ireland on its way to the Mediterranean Sea. There, ships from Turkey
and Greece will join her, then sail to Gaza.
This past week reports from Israel have indicated that the Israeli
authorities will not allow the Freedom Flotilla to reach Gaza with its
cargo of much-needed reconstruction material, medical equipment, and
school supplies. According to Israeli news sources, clear orders have
been issued to prevent the ships from reaching Gaza, even if this
necessitates military violence.
The Free Gaza Movement, which has launched eight other sea missions to
Gaza, confirms that Israel has tried these kinds of threats and
intimidation tactics before in order to try to stop the missions
before they start. “They have not deterred us before and will not
deter us now,”  said one of the organizers.
Ship to Gaza -- Sweden, a Freedom Flotilla coalition partner, together
with parliamentarian Mehmet Kaplan (Green Party) yesterday asked for
an audience with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Sweden, Carl
Bildt, to discuss what measures the Swedish government and the
European Union will take to protect the Freedom Flotilla’s peaceful,
humanitarian voyage. Earlier this week during a meeting with the
European Campaign to End the Siege on Gaza – another coalition
partner, Turkish Prime Minister Tayyib Erdogan expressed his support
for “breaking the oppressive siege on the Gaza Strip...which is at the
top of Turkey’s list of priorities.“
Coalition partners, Ship to Gaza – Greece and the Turkish relief
organization IHH, stressed that the ships, passengers, and cargo will
be checked at each port of departure, making it clear that we
constitute no security threat to Israel.
Israel’s threats to attack unarmed civilians aboard vessels carrying
reconstruction aid are outrageous and indicative of the cruel and
violent nature of Israel’s policies towards Gaza.  The Freedom
Flotilla is acting in line with universal principals of human rights
and justice in defying a blockade identified as illegal by the UN and
other humanitarian organizations. Palestinians in Gaza have a right to
the thousands of basic supplies that Israel bans from entering,
including cement and schoolbooks, as well as a right to access the
outside world. The Freedom Flotilla coalition calls on all signatories
to the Fourth Geneva Conventions to pressure Israel to adhere to its
obligations under international humanitarian law, to end the lethal
blockade on Gaza, and to refrain from attacking this peaceful convoy.
