[23 miles off the coast of Gaza, 15:30pm] – Today Israeli Occupation Forces attacked and boarded the Free Gaza Movement boat, the SPIRIT OF HUMANITY, abducting 21 human rights workers from 11 countries, including Noble laureate Mairead Maguire and former U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (see below for a complete list of passengers). The passengers and crew are being forcibly dragged toward Israel.
Humanitarian Aid workers trying to deliver aid to Gaza have been kidnapped by Israel forces. I think this is disgusting, they were bringing Medicine, Toys, Olive Trees.
Anyone who thinks the War has ended is ill informed or stupid.
According to an International Committee of the Red Cross report released yesterday, the Palestinians living in Gaza are “trapped in despair.” Thousands of Gazans whose homes were destroyed earlier during Israel’s December/January massacre are still without shelter despite pledges of almost $4.5 billion in aid, because Israel refuses to allow cement and other building material into the Gaza Strip. The report also notes that hospitals are struggling to meet the needs of their patients due to Israel’s disruption of medical supplies
Israel is stopping building and medical supplies from entering Gaza, I guess so when they attack again there is less buildings to destroy and less people to kill.

Humanitarian aid has tried to be given to the Palestine’s yet again and now for the 3rd time (off the top of my head) since the war broke out late December 2008.
The Israel’s have them basically caged up in their own country, controlling what goes in and out of the country.
