Netanyahu Threat to Impending Flotilla<br />
</strong></span><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:medium;">Human rights  activists who are preparing to  sail a U.S. ship in a 22-nation  flotilla to Gaza at the end of May sharply  criticized Israeli Prime  Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s request to UN  Secretary-General Ban  Ki-moon to stop the boats from sailing.</span>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://en.wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/"><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:medium;">Israel media reported</span></a><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:medium;"> on Friday that  Netanyahu argued to the UN Secretary- General that the  flotilla is a  conglomerate of “extreme Islamists that are interested  only in provocation”  whose aim is to destroy Israel. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:medium;">“Nothing could  be further from the truth,”  said Jane Hirschmann and Richard Levy in a  joint statement, both of New York,  who are building support for the  U.S. boat, named  <em>The Audacity of Hope</em>.  “We are appalled by  this flagrant misrepresentation. The organizers and  passengers of the  U.S. boat–a committed, non-violent, human rights mission  sailing as  part of the International Flotilla–are people from all walks of  life,  among them lawyers, social workers, artists, firefighters, midwives,   writers, doctors, filmmakers, retired U.S. army personnel, veterans,  women’s  rights organizers, teachers and nurses.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:medium;">The Netanyahu approach to the UN came 11  months after Israeli naval forces boarded the Turkish ship, the <em>Mavi  Marmara</em>,  destined for Gaza on May 31 last year in an attempt to prevent it  and  several other ships from breaching the blockade U.S. citizen. During  that  assault, 9 people were killed by the Israeli forces.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:medium;">The 2nd International Freedom Flotilla,  comprised of people from 22 countries and many boats, including the U.S. flagged  ship </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><em>The Audacity of Hope</em>, ”is  not  the problem. Israel’s conduct in Palestine is the problem,” said  Hirschmann and  Levy in their joint statement. “Israel’s occupation of  the West Bank, siege of  Gaza, expansion of settlements, destruction of  homes, usurpation of water and  air rights, walls of confinement ,  brutal military presence, and daily  sniper attacks on innocent  civilians constitute the paramount violence and  terrorism in the  Mideast–conduct that we all abhor.”</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:medium;">The U.S. boat organizers said that  <em>The Audacity of Hope</em> and the entire flotilla “will sail in peace and  with a single  nonviolent message, i.e., that the people of Gaza are entitled to  the  same life, liberty and pursuit of happiness that are the rights of every   human being.”</span></p>
