PHM statement on Israel’s attack on the civilian ships carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza
The People’s Health Movement strongly condemns the Israeli government’s violent and premeditated attack on the civilian flotilla’s carrying peaceful activists and humanitarian aid to Gaza on 31st May 2010.
The People’s Health Movement demands:
- A credible and independent investigation into this barbaric attack on peaceful civilians and aid volunteers;

- That Israel immediately suspends the economic blockade on Gaza and ends the occupation of Palestinian territories;
- That governments around the world sever diplomatic, trade and military ties with Israel and support the international campaign of Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against the Apartheid Israeli state.
