Vansinne! Statsterrorism!

Mehmets dagbok

Rödgröna fördömer Israels aktion. Mona Sahlin, Peter Eriksson, Maria Wetterstrand och Lars Ohly i ett gemensamt uttalande:

-Vi fördömer den israeliska militärens dödsskjutningar och övervåld mot de humanitära aktivister som försökt forsla förnödenheter till Gaza med båt. Aktionen är ytterst allvarlig och har den inträffat på internationellt vatten står detta helt i strid mot folkrätten.

- Israels blockad av Gaza gör hela området till ett gigantiskt utomhusfängelse där Israel kontrollerar allt som tillåts komma in eller ut. Detta har lett till ekonomisk katastrof, massarbetslöshet och lidande för Gazas beflolkning. För detta bär Israel ansvaret. Israels allt hårdare attacker mot fredligt motstånd liksom blockaden och ockupationen i hela Palestina måste få ett slut.

-Gazas befolkning måste få leva i frihet, demokrati och med mänskliga rättigheter.

ISRAELI ATTACK ON GAZA HUMANITARIAN AID FLOTILLA IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE





The Spokespersons of the European Green Party condemn in the strongest
possible terms the attack by Israeli forces on ships transporting
humanitarian aid to Gaza which has resulted in the deaths of at least 10
people and many more serious injuries.



EGP Co-Spokespersons, Monica Frassoni and Philippe Lamberts, say:



“There can be no justification for this illegal use of excessive force
in international waters. We share the outrage felt by people throughout
the world at this attack which has killed at least 10 activists and left
dozens more seriously wounded. We send our condolences to the families of
the victims.



While the Israeli authorities like to label the activists as
“pro-Palestinian”, they are in fact “humanitarians” trying to
deliver essential aid to the people of Gaza, aid which cannot otherwise be
transported because of the blockade imposed by Israel. The EU and the
international community in general must put pressure on Israel to lift
this blockade so that humanitarian aid convoys like the one which has been
attacked will no longer be necessary. We must also point out that one of
the reasons that Israel felt it could act in the way it has because the EU
and wider international community had not given their support to the aid
convoy. The EU and the UN must act with the greatest urgency to get aid to
the people of Gaza who so desperately need it. It is imperative that
an international inquiry is immediately set up to establish the facts of
this attack.”
