The Lone Ship of the Freedom Flotilla contines to sail towards Gaza

The Lone Ship of the Freedom Flotilla: The Rachel Corrie MV Continues to Sail Towards Gaza in Defiance of Israeli Threats



Global Research, June 1, 2010

Following Israel's criminal raid in international waters on May 31st, the Rachel Corrie MV continues to sail towards the Gaza coastline in defiance of Israeli threats.

In an act of tremendous courage, the Rachel Corrie MV is determined to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza.

At noon today, I received the following message from Christopher Chang and Ram Kardigasu, on behalf of the Malaysian and Irish peace activists, who are on board the Rachel Corrie:

RACHEL CORRIE: MV Rachel Corrie is now the sole ship on the international freedom flotilla moving towards Gaza.

The Malaysian and Irish peace and humanitarian activists aboard share their
deepest grief and sense of lost with the loved ones of those killed and
injured in the illegal action undertaken by Israel on Monday 31st May 2010 in the
international waters of the Mediterranean.

In the names of our friends, we are more determined than ever to continue into Gaza with our
humanitarian cargo and our support for the blockaded and suffering
people of Gaza.

We expect Israel to respond to the international condemnation of its violence by not impeding by any means the safe passage
of the Rachel Corrie.

We appeal to the international community and United Nations to continue to demand Israel
our safe passage into Gaza.

In recent developments, the Netanyahu government is in crisis:

"Senior ministers [of the Netanyahu cabinet] have been sharply critical of the fact that the decision to seize control of the flotilla to Gaza was made after two meetings of the forum of seven senior
ministers but without official deliberation by the inner cabinet, the
body that has the authority to approve military actions of this scale."
What this suggests is that the actual decision to conduct the raids in
international waters bypassed the Cabinet. (Haaretz.com headlines RSS

The question remains: if the Israeli cabinet did not ratify the operation, who ordered the raids and through what procedure?

What were the respective roles of Israeli intelligence and the IDF in planning these raids?

What role was played by Rahm Emmanuel, Obama's White House Chief of Staff, who had meetings with both Netanyahu and president Shimon Peres, respectively on May 26 and 27?

Did Rahm Emmanuel meet officials of Israel's military and intelligence establishment?

Did the Obama administration give the Green Light?

It is important that this news gets out, with a view to ensuring that the Rachel Corrie MV safely reaches the coast of Gaza without encroachment, with a view to breaking
Israel's criminal embargo.

In this endeavor we shall prevail. Our hearts and minds
are with those who continue to sail on board the Rachel Corrie MV.

It should be noted that Israel has not in any way modified its policy with
regard to the Rachel Corrie MV: There are two more ships heading for
Gaza including the Rachel Corrie MV. Israel has promised "to respond
even more harshly":

“Israel will use more aggressive force in the future to prevent ships from breaking the sea blockade on the Gaza Strip, a top Navy commander told The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday.

“We boarded the ship and were attacked as if it was a war,” the officer said. “That will mean that we will have to come prepared in the future as if it was a war.” (www.ynetnews.com)

The Rachel Corrie MV is in part supported by the Perdana Global Peace Organization under the helm of the Malaysia's former Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad. Global Research Director Michel Chossudovsky is a member
of the Perdana Global Peace Organisation and of the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes
Commission.
