Free Gaza's Spirit of Humanity
For the past several hours an unarmed boat full of civilians, including former Congressperson Cynthia McKinney and Nobel Peace Prize winner Mairead Maguire, has been chased, harassed, and physically threatened by 5 or more Israeli war boats. As I write, the ship is 60 miles off the coast of Gaza in international waters. It has never entered Israeli waters and does not intend to. The Israeli navy has contacted the ship and given them a “final warning”.
The Israeli military is threatening to fire on an unarmed civilian humanitarian vessel in international waters.
