Call for Action: Global Day to Break Israeli Siege

Today we watched with horror as Israel committed its massacre against the
Freedom Flotilla to Gaza murdering 19 unarmed civilians and leaving over 50
injured. The peaceful Flotilla carrying over 10,000 tones of humanitarian
aid to Gaza and over 700 pro-Palestinian activists was attacked by Israeli
Navy forces using live ammunition, teargas, grenades…etc.

The Israeli apartheid state has again acted in full impunity against
international law and needs to be held accountable for the murder of unarmed
civilians at sea and illegal barbaric piracy of civilian vessels in
international water carrying humanitarian aid for Gaza.

In memory of the brave men and women who lost their lives on the Freedom
Flotilla to Gaza, today we are calling all free citizens and people of
conscience around the world to a Global Day of Action to carry forward
Freedom Flotilla’s cause of breaking the Israeli siege of Gaza.

Let’s mark *Saturday, 5th June 2010* as *Global ‘Break-The-Siege’* *Day* with
protests and demonstrations in front of Israeli embassies and consulates all
over the world. We call on you to join us on this day to demand in a global
united voice, from our governments to:

- Take a stance against this horrid inhumanity committed by Israel
against armless humanitarians and activists by following Turkey’s
footsteps
in shutting down Israeli’s consulates. Crimes against inhumanity are
inexcusable and will not be welcome in our countries.
- Join the growing international Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions
movement in cutting all political, economic, cultural and academic ties
with
Israel as a statement that crimes against humanity are inexcusable,
unwelcome and will not pass unchallenged.
- Impose full sanctions against Israel until they fully abide by
international law and UN conventions in relation to the siege in Gaza,
occupation and apartheid in Palestine as well as the right of return of
refugees.

If you do not have an Israeli embassy in your country, protest in front of
major corporations or institutions with economic, political, cultural or
academic ties with Israel.

We stand today at an urgent and critical point in our global quest for
justice and human rights. The brutal attack on activists aboard the Gaza
Freedom Flotilla, resulting in at least 19 deaths and tens of injuries,
proves that Zionism indiscriminately targets human rights advocates of all
nationalities. We must not allow this massacre to pass quietly.

Please register your event on *Global ‘Break-Israeli-Siege’ Day* by sending
us an email to support@breaksiege.com.

Join the growing critical mass around the world with a commitment to the day
when Palestinians are entitled to the same rights as any other people, when
the siege is lifted, the occupation is over and the 6 million Palestinian
refugees are finally granted justice.
