A Greenpeace activist was speared through the leg and severely injured as he and other activists from the Rainbow Warrior and the Artic Sunrise confronted French Bluefin fisherman and attempted to release Blue Fin trapped in a net. Recently the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species failed to ban Blue Fin Tuna fishing despite the fact stocks are crashing globally to critical levels.

Israeli violence in international waters- recording

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sat, 05/06/2010 - 5:29am

This is a link to a recording from the Greek ship 'sfendoni' which was among those in the freedom flotilla on their way to Gaza. There were many nationalities on board, not to mention the Israelis, so there is English spoken as well. This recording needs no explanation. It is witness enough.

We are giving our spirit and blood, freedom to Palestine, freedom to Gaza.

ISRAEL: How to explain a massacre

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Wed, 02/06/2010 - 1:41am

Venice , May 31, 2010 - The great lesson from the bloody Israeli raid on a flotilla of pacifists heading for Gaza with humanitarian aid is how easy it has become to control public opinion as long as the information is manipulated and comes exclusively from one source – the government and its military.
As we know governments and the military always tell the truth - unlike the others.

Israel kills peace activists aboard flotilla

Submitted by Flowerpower on Mon, 31/05/2010 - 6:46pm

The Israeli navy has raided and killed up to 19 peace activists aboard the international flotilla heading towards Gaza with humanitarian aid. One Australian activist was shot in the leg and seriously injured and a journalist was tasered. The Australians were held for three days in Israel before being deported. The flotilla carried supplies like medical equipment and a dental equipment had peace activists, media and politicians from over 40 countries on board. Eyewitness accounts from activists of the Israeli attack are now emerging. Israel is a nuclear armed rogue state that deserves to be an international pariah.
