Statement of Support for the Gaza-Bound Freedom Flotilla

We, Israeli organizations, Jews and Arabs, full-heartedly support Freedom Flotilla, aim of sailing to the Port of Gaza with the proclaimed goals of breaking through the sea and land  siege and blockade of Gaza, which is a manifestation of a continuing occupation by Israel.

There is a very real reason to worry that such lies might be designed by the government as a pretext and justification in advance for further acts of violence against activists taking part in a legitimate political act of protest.

We have no progressive movement in this country, and therefore, we have no viable vehicle for expressing and carrying out the will of the people. As a result, the only spokespeople on the vital issues of the day range from the far right to the right of center.
