Gazan blogger and mother, Laila el-Haddad, has reported that a thoroughly inspected ship of medical supplies and witnesses from 11 different countries headed for Gaza from Cyprus has been surrounded and has been rammed by several Israeli warships.
It should be noted that the Dignity is NOT, repeat NOT, the ship of medical supplies coming to Gaza from Iran and is due there in the first week of January.
According to el-Haddad, former US Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney is one of the observers on board the Dignity.
el-Haddad, who emigrated from Gaza two years ago, is asking us to BLAST the Israeli government and their officials with emails, phone calls and other pleas to get the Israeli Navy to either allow the ship to dock in Gaza, Lebanon, or Egypt, or at least provide them the fuel that would allow them to return to Cyprus. They are, at present, surrounded in international waters and unable to move.
CALL the Israeli Government and demand that it immediately STOP attacking the Dignity and endangering the lives of its passengers!
