WE WARNED ISRAEL, WE ARE COMING BACK
Larnaca, Cyprus - Today, the Free Gaza Movement has informed Israel that we are about to send another vessel of emergency in Gaza. We will give news of our exact date and time of departure and the route we will follow in the coming days. Departing from Cypriot waters, sail in international waters and then directly into Gaza territorial waters, never come close to Israeli waters.
Continued Israeli attacks on Gaza Strip have killed over 640 Palestinians, including many women and children, and caused thousands of casualties. These acts of Israel are serious and massive violations of international humanitarian law as defined by the Geneva Conventions, and obligations as an occupying force that imposed the laws of war. The United Nations was not able to protect civilians Palestinian by Israel's massive violations of international humanitarian law. Therefore, we concerned citizens delBelgio, Colombia, France, Canada, Great Britain, Greece, Ireland, Jordan, Kuwait, Scotland, Spain and the United States, we believe it is our duty moralefare we can to provide some measure of protection.
The Israeli military has violently attacked a recent attempt by the Free Gaza Mobement to send a boat loaded with emergency medical and medical supplies to Gaza. In the early hours of Tuesday, December 30, the Israeli Navy rammed our boat, the DIGNITY, in international waters. Neither DIGNITY, nor its passengers and crew had never constituted any kind of threat to Israel and the Israeli government had been warned of the mission the previous day. Nonostate what 'we were violently rammed three times, without notice, by the Israeli Navy, with the obvious intention to make the vessel unfit, putting at risk the lives of 16 passengers on board.
We are not afraid they 'held by the violence of the Israeli military and we intend to sail again to Gaza.
We are doctors, journalists, parliamentarians and human rights observers who wish to reach the people of Gaza to bring them much needed medical help and to witness the atrocities that are committed against the Palestinians there. We are willing to put
our bodies on the front line to stop the illegal Israeli massacres of the Palestinian people (we have received death threats that warn us not to repeat our attempt) and bring to the attention of the world war crimes that happen in Gaza against 1.5 million of Palestinians.
