On the Israeli Attack on Freedom Flotilla
The College Editors Guild of the Philippines condemns the Israeli attack on the volunteers on their way to the Gaza Strip to give humanitarian aid to the Palestinians. The attack, which happened in international waters, killed 19 people and injured many others.
This is not merely an unwarranted attack, but an act of aggression, for Israel is in the habit of launching attacks. The Israeli forces open fired as soon as they got on the ship. The ship contained civillians. A Holocaust survivor was supposed to join the 300 individuals in that ship. How ironic that she survived the massacre, only to live through the persecution of another race, of which the Jews are the aggressors.
Too many times has Israel’s aggression been whitewashed. We call on the international community to be militant in seeking justice, and to strengthen our commitment of peace for the Palestines.
