Israel se asoma al abismo

(..)Para mantener el bloqueo de Gaza, que ya se ha demostrado inútil (Hamas no pierde fuerza, sino al contrario) además de inhumano, Israel se ha colocado en una posición indefendible y ha asumido una larga serie de riesgos. El primero, y no el más importante, la más que posible ruptura de las conversaciones de paz con la Autoridad Palestina.

Dear Mr Hague

Israeli naval forces this morning stormed a peaceful flotilla of boats delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza, and killed 20 of the unarmed civilians on board. Dozens more have been injured. Forty British nationals were on the flotilla. None of them have yet been accounted for.

Will the British government continue to maintain its complicit silence over the attack, or will it finally speak out and condemn Israel's piracy and murder on international waters?

You had the opportunity to defend British citizens sailing with the flotilla, and demand safe passage for them and the vital aid they were carrying, but you chose not to do so.

You now have the opportunity to stand up for international law, and to lead the international community in condemning Israel's actions and holding them to account.

I call on you to take this opportunity. You can begin by recalling Britain's ambassador to Israel. Your political and moral obligations lie with those who seek to peacefully deliver aid, not with a country which repeatedly violates international law.

Yours sincerely
