Dear Colleagues , Another act of piracy by the government of Israel on the High Seas , namely the kidnapping of the ship " DIGNITY" of the Freedom Flotilla , which had onboard the representatives of the citizens of all those countries which had with considerable effort contributed to the ships and the humanitarian cargo , this is continuing with impunity the piracy committed on all vessels of the International movement of the Freedom Flotillas on the high sea and on the territorial waters of the sea off Gaza, and the territorial waters of the State of Palestine as demarcated by the UN Resolution, in respect of which the government of Israel is accountable to the International community as a whole , as citizens of several countries who are members of the United Nations were on board these vessels which included the Rachel Corrie among others and have been arbitrarily kidnapped and detained some killed and several injured and threatened with their belongings stolen .
There is no atonement whatsoever for the collective killings on the
MAVI MARMARA ,in respect of which the government of Turkey
has capitulated, even as it has sacrificed the lives of Turkish citizens
without any accountability by Israel with collusion amongst the
diplomats of both governments .For which the citizens of Turkey
must demand accountability and transparency as to on what basis
can there be such a compact .The location of these vessels were such
that it posed no danger whatsoever to the government or people
of Israel .
At the level of the former Chief of the IDF Lt. General Gabi
Ashkenazi there is now a statement made, that establishment of
the State of Palestine is inevitable as a state entity and that
the government of Israel must co-operate for its establishment.
Whereas the former Chief of Mossad has stated that the objective
of the governmentof Israel to attack the Iranian Nuclear Reactors
which supply nuclear energy scheduled for September, will be
counterproductive and achieve no purpose or objective apart
from being a setback for Israel.
The Zionist government of Israel now desires to take action against
the former head of Mossad, to strip him of his diplomatic passport
and proceed against him which will only confirm that there is in the
pipeline which warrants action against the head of State of Israel
and members of the government who have planned such an attack , as this
will be amount to a nuclear attack in respect of the fall out effect of
such an attack on a Nuclear plant established for the supply of
power .
There is a re-colonization project targeting other countries
in this region and in other regions for take over of resources
even as the banker's war is unleashed in Europe and the USA
against its own citizens camouflaged as austerity for which
certain government which are military staging points are
required as forward military bases of NATO , even if it
results in an attack with a nuclear fall out and we are still
not at the end of such strategies for this and other
regions .
Kindly circulate to others .

PCHR Denounces Kidnapping the French "Dignity” Ship and Holds IOF Responsible
for the Safety of International Solidarity Activists
The Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) denounces surrounding the
French Ship - "Dignity" - off the Gaza Strip coast and taking it forcibly to
the Israeli waters by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF). PCHR holds IOF
legally responsible for the safety of the international activists on board.
PCHR also calls upon the international community to immediately intervene and
exert pressure on Israel to stop its continuing violations against the
international solidarity flotillas, which struggle in order to end the illegal
Israeli siege imposed on the civilian population in the Gaza Strip.
Four Israeli gunboats surrounded "Dignity" with 16 international activists,
three crew members and two journalists on board, approximately 40 nautical
miles off the Gaza Strip coast. The attack was carried out on Tuesday
morning, 19 July 2011. The Ship "Dignity" was forcibly taken by IOF to Ashdod
Port in Israel, while all communications with the ship have been jammed since
then.
"Dignity", as part of the Freedom Flotilla 2 that is stuck in the Greek ports
under a decision issued by the Greek Government, is an international message of
freedom, dignity and human rights to end the siege and stop the policy of
collective punishment imposed on the Palestinian civilian population in the
Gaza Strip. The Ship had sent its message to the whole world:
"This small boat is a symbol of determination of the International Solidarity
Movement to end the siege imposed on Gaza and to express solidarity with 1.6
million Palestinians imprisoned there since 2007. The reality that the Ship
"Dignity" has been still in high seas is considered a setback for the Israeli
government, which forcibly tries to exert pressure in order to legitimize the
siege and silence the civil society movements around the world." A statement
issued by "Dignity" in high seas on 18 July 2011.
"PCHR highly appreciates the courageous attempt done by the Freedom Flotilla
2 and was represented in the French Ship, which insisted on breaking the
conspiracy of silence and illegal and inhumane siege imposed on the Gaza
Strip's civilians. The Palestinian people are proud of the international
activists' determination to break this conspiracy, reminding that the siege has
still been imposed. Those activists are considered the symbol and core of the
international civil society, which demands the application of the law against
what is practiced against the Palestinian people of jungle law and illegal
siege. What happened to them is a double crime: The first is because they came
to end the crime of illegal and inhumane siege, and the second is because they
were prevented from practicing their right to stop this crime and put an end to
the Palestinians suffering. We highly appreciate what the international
activists had faced of suffering and pain to reach Gaza waters." Raji Sourani,
Director of PCHR.
PCHR is gravely concerned over continued Israeli crimes against the
international activists and flotillas and calls upon IOF to immediately release
"Dignity" Ship, release the international activists aboard and ensure their
safety. PCHR believes that IOF's violations against solidarity flotillas
confirms that the Israeli occupation of the Gaza Strip is still continuous in
legal and material forms and confirms systematic destruction of the
Palestinians' life at all levels caused by the sisege. PCHR appreciates and is
proud of all freedom flotillas that support human rights, freedom and justice.
