International Seizure

The Israeli Navy recently seized a converted ferry carrying humanitarian supplies in international waters, according to many news sources. 21 activists on the way to Gaza were detained. Many major news organizations have not even mentioned this. When the Somali pirates boarded a vessel in international waters, it was such a big deal. OK, rightfully so. The name of the vessel is "The Spirit of Humanity", of the "Free Gaza Movement". Oh, WOW! What a threat they posed to the Israeli Navy! When activists are trying to bring attention to the devastation in Gaza while simultaneously providing pragmatic assistance, why should anyone care? How about asking the parents of the 300 children who were killed in the Israeli offensive that took place just before the Obama inauguration? That is, if they are not among the other estimated 600 dead innocent victims of the assault. Maybe they can be found in an under-supplied hospital, suffering from unimaginably severe burns. (Can you say: "White Phosphorus"?) I looked in vain today for any report in the Denver Post. ABC News did have a report about it on its website; here is the link to the Edinburg Scotsman on this event: http://news.scotsman.com/scotland/Scot-among--British-.5416254.jp --- undertoad57
