Campaigner tells of Israel arrest - in Gazan Waters
This story places The Spirit of Humanity in Gazan waters rather than in international waters as stated in a previous article I posted here. Nonetheless, the boat was absolutely not in Israeli territory subject to Israeli law.
In 1962 the United States blockaded Cuba, itself an act of war, but they had the good sense to at least call it a "quarrantine". Israel has made no such claim. They threatened a small, unarmed vessel with violence. They jammed communication and navigational equipment. They took American citizens and jailed them for no percievable crime. This should be considered an act of war on the United States... We are already in the neighborhood, just pull out of Iraq and start shocking and awing Tel Aviv! Of course there should first be diplomatic attempts to settle differences and maybe we could avoid dropping the bombs. But there will be no diplomacy here, no dropping of bombs, at least not on Israel. From Washington, only silence. Silence implies consent. Who is your government working for?
