Having read this article today
Israel’s naval forces are allegedly in training to prepare to seize eight boats scheduled to dock in the Gaza Strip on 24 May from Europe, Arabic-language media reported on Wednesday.
“About half of the Israeli naval forces will participate in an operation that was approved by the cabinet. [Israeli] Defense Minister Ehud Barak will supervise the operation,” an Israeli official told the Arabic-language satellite TV station Al-Hurra. http://www.maannews.net/eng/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=283759
I think it time for some forward planning of our own..
In the event of the Gaza flotilla being stopped by the Israeli navy I would suggest a email phone and fax bombardmet of Israeli goverment offices and embassies around the world…

Thanks Annie here is another way to help as well….
( http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3894766,00.html ) stop the Free Gaza flotilla carrying 10 000 tones of urgent humanitarian supplies Israel has been banning from Gaza, unless we STOP them from doing so.
We need to act URGENTLY:
1 – Schedule protests in your local area. There are already prot…ests scheduled in US and Canada.
2 – Write to your elected officials
3 – Contact the media – translate the Free Gaza press releases and distribute them widely in your lists
4 – Write to EU Foreign Affairs head Catherine Ashton – catherine.ashton@ec.europa.eu
These two websites contain all the information you need to know –
SAVE them in your favorites:

Palestinians in Gaza count on us to break the siege, if we could not join the brave activists on the boat the very least we can do is to urge politicians to uphold international law and stop the Israeli pirates!
Distribute this message widely!
