Save the "Spirit of Humanity" - Free the Gaza 21
From: JewishVoiceForPeace.org

people from around the world have spent the last two days writing
letters and calling elected officials, demanding that Israel release
the 'Spirit of Humanity' humanitarian aid boat, its cargo, and crew.
If you have not called yet, go here:
Find your Congressperson
Call your Congressperson
Call your Senators
But we must do more. Over the next several days, US Congress will be on holiday recess, a new humanitarian aid convoy led by Viva Palestina will attempt to enter
Gaza, and the fate of the 21 civilians being held in Israel remains
uncertain.
Let's keep the media focused on this matter.
winner Mairead Maguire and former US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney.
The 'Spirit of Humanity' was taken, illegally, from international
waters.
The aid was being delivered in the wake of a 22-day military assault
against the Gaza Strip last winter, in which Amnesty International has
charged the Israeli military with "reckless conduct, disregard for
civilian lives and property, and a consistent failure to distinguish
between military targets and civilians and civilian objects."
The Gaza Strip has also been subjected to a crippling blockade for two
years, in which the movement of people and goods in and out of Gaza
have been at the whim of the Israeli military. The people of Gaza face
severe shortages of medicine, food, and materials that are necessary
for rebuilding homes after the war.
The human rights activists who are being held in Israel need our support. We can build the pressure necessary to secure their release and prevent such seizures in the future. We can support the Free Gaza Movement by making sure the press covers this incident and people are aware of it.
