Dear Senator Landrieu, Vitter and Congressman Cassidy, I urge you to advise Israel to allow the peaceful Freedom Flotilla of 10 ships and 1,000 peaceful people to proceed to Gaza to offload humanitarian supplies of the sort blocked by Israel since June 2007 to punish the Palestinian people for voting the wrong way. They voted for Hamas, which has been declared a "terrorist organization" by the United states and Israel. But Israel has committed far worse terrorist acts against the Palestinians than vice versa. The Israelis use U.S.-made F-16s, Apache helicopter gunships, naval bombardment, drones, illegal white phosphorous (burns to the bone and keeps burning), and countless other weapons (many "experimental"in nature, and of unknown chemical provenance) against the relatively defenseless Palestinian people in terrorist acts abhorred by the international community. Force by Israel will not be appropriate nor necessary against these peaceful, unarmed people coming by ship to Gaza. If you will remember, the 2010 Freedom Flotilla was met with violence from Israel --- Israel killed 9 unarmed Turkish civilians in an act of terrorism condemned by the world. Any blood shed will be on your hands if you fail to warn Israel not to use force this year.
