[People may finally begin to recognize Obama's disgusting behavior for what it 
is. --CGE]

We are outraged, stunned and broken-hearted that the Israeli Navy has not only 
intercepted 6 ships that were carrying humanitarian aid to the 1.5 million 
people in Gaza who are living under an Israeli-imposed siege, but has actually 
killed and wounded dozens of these brave humanitarian activists.

This must be a turning point for U.S. policy toward Israel. Nobel Laureates from 
Nelson Mandela to Jimmy Carter and Aung San Suu Kyi have condemned Israel's 
brutal action.  Where is Obama?

A White House spokesperson stated that President Obama "deeply regrets the loss 
of life and injuries sustained." We need to hear a STRONG CONDEMNATION of this 
abominable attack, and it must be accompanied by action: an immediate cut off of 
all aid to Israel and sustained pressure on Israel to lift the siege of Gaza.

Join us in calling on Obama to condemn the attacks!
Pass it on to your friends and colleagues!

Organize or join protests in your community against Israel's attack on the 
humanitarian flotilla. Call for the aid workers to be released and allowed to 
complete their humanitarian mission. Find events near you and post your event 
details here.

For people in the U.S., call or sit-in at your elected officials' offices and 
demand that they condemn Israel, call on Israel to lift the siege of Gaza, and 
cut off all U.S. aid (learn more about the deadly impact of U.S. military aid to 
Israel here).

For the latest news on the Gaza Flotilla, check www.gazafreedommarch.org.  The 
over 700 human rights activists, including Ret. Col. Ann Wright, who were aboard 
the boats need your solidarity.  Take action now!
