Masih ingat tragedi berdarah pembunuhan aktivis kemanusiaan yang tergabung di Freedom Flotilla, saat berusaha mengirimkan bantuan ke Gaza?
Mereka dibantai oleh pasukan Zionis Israel yang sudah kehabisan akal untuk menghentikan aksi dunia yang ingin agar aksi blokade Israel terhadap warga Palestina di Jalur Gaza di akhiri.Pada waktu itu armada enam kapal bantuan disergap oleh angkatan laut Israel. Sebanyak sembilan aktivis tewas dan lebih dari lima puluh luka-luka
Di dorong rasa kemanusiaan dan solidaritas dunia, misi Flotilla II siap diberangkatkan. Sejumlah besar negara manyatakan partisipasinya dalam misi ke dua Flotilla menembus Gaza. Sebut saja Eropa, Amerika Utara, Afrika Utara,Asia, Amerika Latin, hingga Australia menyatakan siap untuk ikut berangkat bersama 15 kapal yang dipenuhi sejumlah bantuan, mereka tidak lagi tersekat pada batas-batas negara, pekerjaan, dan iodeologi. Wartawan, politisi, aktivis kemanusiaan hingga seniman akan bersatu dalam rombongan besar itu. Perbedaan agamapun tidak lagi menjadi sekat. Islam, Kristen, Hindu, Budha bahkan Yahudi akan bersatu dalam satu Misi..."Solidaritas Untuk Palestina".
Saya sendiri, sangat ingin bisa ikut (semoga ..)..sekarang isu Palestina bukan lagi hanya masalah Agama Islam saja, tapi ini adalah masalah kemanusiaan, bagaimana kita peduli menyaksikan Bayi, wanita, anak-anak yang terus dipaksa untuk menunggu dan terbelenggu. Belum lagi serangan-seranagan sepihak Israel yang seringkali korbannya adalah anak-anak. Kalaupun tidak bisa ikut, minimal bisa menyumbangkan doa dan dana terbaik kita. Semoga pada misi kali ini mampu menembus Blokade Gaza, karena seperti yang disampaikan salah satu aktivis yang akan ikut Flotilla II " Kami akan berlayar ke Gaza sampai Palestina Bebas, Ancaman peluru Israel terlalu kecil untuk menggoyahkan niat kami"
Berikut Pernyataan Resmi tentang Pelayaran Flotilla II
Official statement
THE FREEDOM FLOTILLA II WILL SAIL TO GAZA
DURING THE LAST TWO WEEKS OF MAY 2011
The city of Madrid (Spain) hosted on 4th, 5th and 6th February 2011 the meeting of delegates from different organizations that comprise the International Coalition of the Freedom Flotilla II. The meeting, organized by the host delegation Rumbo a Gaza, was attended by delegates from Algeria, Canada, Scotland, Spain, France, Greece, Holland, Ireland, Italy, Jordan, Kuwait, Malaysia, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey. Also, in the course of the meeting, updates were received about the work of organizations in Germany, Australia, Belgium and Denmark.
The organizations gathered in Madrid reiterated our strongest condemnation and rejection of systematic aggression that the State of Israel has inflicted on the Palestinian people for over 60 years and its continued violations of international law. We also denounce the passivity, if not outright complicity of our governments to actions that constitute a crime against humanity.
The Gaza Strip has become a symbol of the systematic and planned aggression against the entire Palestinian people. For almost five years, over a million and half people have been subjected to a criminal and illegal blockade, a medieval siege in which the State of Israel has become the master of life and death for Gazans. This collective punishment combined with devastating military attacks launched by Israel's army on the defenseless population of the Gaza Strip: 500 killed in Operation Summer Rains 2006, more than 1,400 killed in Operation Cast Lead December 2008 and January 2009, more than 80 killed in 2010 during various other assaults.
Gaza is a territory intentionally reduced to misery. 80% of its inhabitants depend on humanitarian aid for food, 70% of households live on less than one euro per day for each of its members, over 40% of the population is unemployed. The State of Israel has kidnapped people physically as well as kidnapping their rights, their dreams and hopes as they have been doing for more than 60 years.
Because of the silence and inaction of our governments to these crimes against humanity, the international civil society campaign has grown since 2008 when the siege was broken for the first time by two small boats and last year the first Freedom Flotilla was launched. A well known fact, the Israeli army attacked this Flotilla in international waters, in what constituted a flagrant violation of international shipping laws, murdering nine activists, injuring 50 others, kidnapping everyone on board, and hijacking the boats.
More determined than ever to break and end the blockade, the Coalition announced today that during the second half of May 2011 Freedom Flotilla II will sail. To this end there will be at least twice as many boats carrying many more volunteers and more aid. The expedition will sail in order to force Israel to respect international law and to mobilize civil societies' support and solidarity with the Palestinian population of Gaza as well as bring attention to the wider issue of the host of human rights abuses carried out by the Israeli state against the entire population of Palestine.
We are closely following the big change that is being brought in Tunisia, Egypt and the wider Arab world by the emergence of civil societies' demand for true democracy, social justice, freedom and respect of human rights. The long Palestinian struggle against occupation and violence deserves the support of the international community. Freedom Flotilla II integrate its action into that large movement focusing on breaking and ending the siege in Gaza. Palestinian people and historically, Mediterranean Sea people, have the same rights on their territory, territorial waters and air space. Therefore our expedition, Freedom Flotilla II, has become more important and necessary than ever.
We will sail to Gaza until Palestine is free!
