Israel Attacks & The People Fight Back!

Early this morning, Israeli forces attacked a flotilla of aid-carrying ships aiming to break the blockade on Gaza. According to Aljazeera, at least 19 people were killed and dozens injured when Israeli troops attacked the convoy of ships, dubbed the Freedom Flotilla, in international waters about 75 miles off the Gaza coast.

Gaza has been blockaded by Israel since 2007 with full backing by the U.S. government. For background on the Freedom Flotilla and the Free Gaza Movement, visit http://www.freegaza.org/.

Emergency actions are taking place worldwide in protest of the atrocious massacre. In Los Angeles, a demonstration is taking place TODAY at 4:30PM at the Israeli Consulate: 6380 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles (Between Crescent Heights and San Vicente). Come out and show your solidarity! For more information, check out http://www.answerla.org.
