ISRAEL MASSACRES INTERNATIONALS TAKING AID TO GAZA
Demonstrate for Gaza & Isolate the rogue State of Israel

The Israeli navy this morning [Monday 31st May] massacred at least 10 peaceful, unarmed citizens from many different countries sailing to Gaza with humanitarian aid.  Video footage shows that Israeli troops had already fired on the unarmed aid workers from Naval ships killing two, before boarding via helicopter, and continuing their carnage.

The massacre took place in international waters, 65 km off the coast of Gaza. 

Israel has NO JURISDICTION in international waters and NO JUSTIFICATION for firing on, or boarding the aid vessels.

Over 700 other participants have been abducted to Israel by the Israeli military.  Israel's brutal siege of Gaza is now entering its fourth year, causing immense suffering.  The British government has not only supported this medieval siege; it has covered up for previous Israeli attacks on humanitarian ships and the kidnapping of British citizens by the Israeli navy.  The new Foreign Minister, Hague, has promised to remove provisions in British law that would allow the arrest and trial of those who commit such crimes. 

Scottish PSC calls on people of conscience to demand:

  • an immediate end to British support for the blockade of Gaza
  • the Scottish government support the call from the UN's Judge Goldstone for Israel to appear before the International Criminal Court for its crimes against humanity
  • the rogue state of Israel is stripped of its nuclear weapons
  • Scottish councils, universities and other institutions boycott all Israeli produce, companies and institutions linked to the Israeli state
