London : An emergency protest is being held Monday outside Prime Minister David Cameron’s Office following Israel’s latest massacre of at least 10 passengers on board the Gaza Freedom Fotilla.
The London demonstration, which is being supported by Britain’s largest peace movement, Stop the War Coalition (STWC), is demanding that the UK government protests against Israel’s violation of international law.
STWC said it was “yet another act of Israeli barbarism as its forces storm one of the seven ships on the international flotilla taking aid to Gaza, where Israel’s illegal siege is starving Palestinians of essential resources.”
“Once again Israel is breaking international law and committing piracy. It has long threatened this peaceful Flotilla, and is now determined to stop it from reaching its destination,” a Direct Action Against War activist also told IRNA.
Some 700 civilians were aboard the flotilla, including 38 Britons, but there was no immediate news of the nationality of those killed and injured by Israeli commandoes.
The British public was also being urged to write to Foreign Secretary William Hague to demand that he pressure the Israeli regime to allow the ships to reach Gaza and ask what steps the government will take to protect British citizens.
