ARAB NEWS – Editorial: Israel has once again shown its true colors to the world with its murderous piracy in international waters.
What Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has so rightly called “a massacre” saw the death of at least 10 peace activists on board the lead ship of the six-vessel Freedom Flotilla and the injury of scores others, as heavily armed Israeli commandos seized the convoy and sailed it toward their port of Ashdod. Israeli sources put the toll at nine. The full details of this outrage are not yet clear since the Israeli authorities are censoring all reports and used sophisticated jamming technology to halt media broadcasts from the vessels as they were assaulted. The truth will only become known when 700 journalists and peace activists are released and can give their testimony. >>> | Monday, May 31, 2010
SAUDI GAZETTE: JEDDAH – The Cabinet condemned on Monday the Israeli attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, describing it as an “act of aggression reflecting Israel’s inhumane practices and its evident challenge to the whole of the international community and international law and its persistence in starving the Palestinian people and depriving them of aid, as well as the killing of innocent people”.
The Cabinet appealed to the international community to “take action against the hostility and barbaric policy of the Israeli occupying forces”. >>> SPA | Tuesday, June 01, 2010
