The first 5 of the 7 items below are about the flotilla, but each from a different angle.
Item 1 responds to an Israeli warning (which is not true) that some of the ships have chemicals aboard with which to attack the soldiers. Israel, in other words, is preparing Israelis and members of the flotilla for the worst!
In item 2, “Gaza bound_ a mystery worthy of Henning Manhell” Amira Hass comments on some of the stranger things that are occurring regarding the flotilla.
In item 3 the LA Times gives both sides (Israeli and flotilla passengers) a chance to express themselves. Don’t be fooled by the Israeli military video. More is left out than is in. Even the LA Times tends to take sides in this one.
In item 4 Marwan Bishara responds to 3 questions about the flotilla. Very important piece. Please don’t miss.
In item 5 Bradley Burston pleads (almost on his knees) with Israeli authorities to let the flotilla get to Gaza. Actually, Israel is doing wonderfully. Had Israel kept quiet and allowed the boats to reach Gaza, the media would have had much less to report on. Thanks to Israel’s leaders loud mouths, they keep all eyes on the misery that is Gaza.
Items 6 and 7 turn to other subjects.
Item 6 is the first of the series promised yesterday by Merav Michaeli. It is about the discrimination against Arabs in Israel’s sports, the title being ‘No Arabs, No Goals.’
And item 7, as you might guess, is yesterday’s compilation of ‘Today in Palestine’ plus a CPT report of a live experience of the kind that you don’t want to have.
In the compilation a number of the items are about the flotilla. These are the less important ones, as you have several here. But don’t neglect the articles about Gaza and the West Bank. Don’t let the flotilla be a smoke screen hiding these 2 areas.
All the best, dear friends. May tomorrow bring a hint of light at the end of this long long tunnel, and may the flotilla be safe and sound, wherever and whenever it will be.

Gaza flotilla organizer: We have no intention of attacking IDF soldiers
Israeli officials say passengers may be stowing chemicals on ships to be used against IDF soldiers and have threatened to ‘spill their blood.’
By The Associated Press, Amos Harel and Barak Ravid
Tags: Gaza flotilla Gaza IDF
The organizer of the Gaza-bound flotilla dismissed Tuesday Israeli allegations that extremists aboard the ships plan to harm Israeli soldiers who would be dispatched to stop them.
Dror Feiler says the hundreds of people planning to sail soon in a bid to break Israel’s naval blockade of the Palestinian territory have signed a declaration of nonviolence.
Feiler told Army Radio on Tuesday that if Israel has information about specific suspects, it should pass it along to flotilla’s organizers.
Israeli military spokeswoman Maj. Avital Leibovich on Monday cited intelligence reports saying extremists in the flotilla have “dangerous incendiary chemicals” for use against Israeli forces.
Senior Israeli officials said at a press briefing on Monday that even though the Turkish organization IHH has withdrawn from the upcoming flotilla to Gaza, information recently obtained by Israel indicates that some passengers are planning on carrying out violent acts.
Since IHH was chiefly responsible for the violence aboard last year’s flotilla, its withdrawal had initially seemed to obviate that threat. But it now seems that members of the group will be sailing on some of the ships, along with other Arab and Muslim activists, the officials said.
Two of these activists, they said, have known ties with Hamas: Amin Abu Rashad, who formerly headed a Hamas-linked charity in Holland that was shut down by the Dutch government for financing terror, and Mohammad Hannoun of the Italian ABSPP foundation, which Israel claims is also involved in financing terror.
The information also indicates that flotilla organizers may be stowing chemicals aboard for use against soldiers who board the ships, the officials said, adding that a few extremists among the organizers had been heard threatening in recent days “to spill the blood” of Israel Defense Forces soldiers.
Senior defense officials told Haaretz that the chemicals, including sulfur, are aboard ships carrying French and American passengers, among others.”This is a dramatic development,” one defense source said. “The picture emerging here is that some of the flotilla participants clearly intend a violent clash.”

Gaza-bound: A mystery worthy of Henning Mankell
Swedish author Henning Mankell, who took part in last year’s flotilla and is joining the currently planned one, said that the flotilla was not a declaration of war, but a declaration of peace.
GREECE – The organizers of the flotilla to Gaza yesterday remained vague about the date it would set sail and its ports of call. The unexpected delays are worrying the organizers although they are trying not to show it.
At a press conference yesterday in Athens, they promised that despite the open and covert pressure by Israel and other governments, about 10 ships – among them two cargo vessels – will set sail this week to Gaza. They also stressed that the departure of a French ship from the port of Corsica on Saturday is proof that there is a limit to the pressure Israel can exert.
The press conference was held before it became known that Israel had decided to backpedal on the Government Press Office’s threat Sunday that foreign journalists who took part in the flotilla would not be allowed into Israel for 10 years. The speakers at the press conference called on the free press to prove that it is indeed free and not to be frightened by Israeli threats.
The uncertainty about the date the flotilla will set sail is not detering hundreds of activists, who are already in various locations throughout Greece and are set to board the ships. Dozens of activists attended yesterday’s press conference, armed with well-made signs and rhythmic calls that sometimes turned the press conference into a pep rally.
But the organizers of the briefing did not share the various reasons for the delay. A few days ago, the Greek port authority required the Greek-Swedish cargo ship to undergo repairs, soldering work and the addition of equipment that its crew said were completely unnecessary. As for the American ship, an anonymous complaint had been lodged that it was not seaworthy. According to Army Radio, the group behind the complaint is Shurat Hadin, the Israeli Law Center.
Yesterday, a port authority inspection team checked out the American ship. Also yesterday, a surprise “stricter than usual” inspection was made of the Canadian vessel, the Tahrir. According to information that reached the organizers Sunday, a similar inspection is planned for the Italian ship.
Delaying tactics
Prof. Vangelis Pissias, a member of the flotilla’s steering committee, told me that the Greek government has not acceded to the call by an extreme right wing Greek political party, LAOS, to prevent the flotilla to Gaza for reasons of “national interest,” but it has meanwhile taken various administrative steps to delay it.
Pissias also said the fact that officials in Israel were able to report “the prevention of the departure of six ships anchored in Greece,” even before the organizers of the flotilla knew about it, shows Israel’s involvement. The surprise and meticulous inspections of the ships a few days after they had already been inspected and vetted as seaworthy, are the “technical” version of an outright prohibition on sailing.
At the press conference Pissias said the Greek government is under pressure not only from the Israeli government but by other governments as well. But Pissias also said that, at the same time, popular pressure is being applied that’s making it hard for Greece to give in to Israel.
Dror Feiler, the spokesman for the flotilla and chairman of European Jews for a Just Peace, explained how popular support is expressed: Today and tomorrow, a general strike will be held in Greece against the austerity steps the government intends to adopt at the behest of the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. But the port workers’ union announced that in solidarity with the flotilla to Gaza, the stevedores who would be loading the flotilla vessels had been exempted from the strike.
Also, in Syntagma Square in Athens, where daily protests are being held against Greek government policies, the protesters – supporters of direct democracy – voted to support the flotilla and to install a giant screen so they could follow the progress of the ships.
Pissias also said that in the end, the Greek government would not be able to break the law and prohibit the ships from departing. That was also the message the government conveyed indirectly – through members of parliament that support the flotilla – to its organizers.
The French representative at the briefing, Thomas Sommer-Houdeville, said the French government had received “advice” (he did not specify from whom ) on how to prevent the departure of the flotilla. Right wing groups in the Jewish community also demonstrated against the flotilla, he said. Nevertheless, on Saturday the flotilla’s French ship set sail for Greece (another French ship is already in Greece ). That is proof, Houdeville said, that there is a limit to Israel’s ability to apply pressure, and that Israel cannot decide who has the right to sail the Mediterranean.
A French participant in the flotilla told Haaretz that representatives of the flotilla’s organizers had met with government officials who “advised” them on how to hamper the ships by various technical means, but that the advice was rejected.
The African-American author Alice Walker said at the press conference that she would sail on the American ship because, when African-Americans were slaves and during the fight for civil rights, they were helped by outside communities. Walker said this was a noble tradition that defined people as human beings. Walker complained that U.S. President Barack Obama had forgotten this tradition when his government opposed the flotilla.
The Swedish author Henning Mankell, who took part in last year’s flotilla and is joining the currently planned one, said at the press briefing he imagined there were people in the room who would report directly to the Israeli government and the Shin Bet security service. He said he asked that the report say that the actions of the flotilla was not a declaration of war, but a declaration of peace.

Freedom Flotilla 2 determined to reach Gaza; Israel determined to stop it [Video]
[use the link to see the 2 videos—the first propaganda, the next Yonathan Shapira explains why he is participating in the flotilla]
A year and a bit after the ill-fated interception of the Mavi Marmara that headed last year’s flotilla to Gaza, Israel is bracing for another one. This time around, say authorities, they are more prepared, having learned the lessons from operations to public relations and media. (We’ll get back to that second point later.)
Israel launched a diplomatic, legal and bureaucratic offensive to prevent the flotilla well in advance and for months has been appealing to governments to block their citizens’ efforts to participate, with a certain degree of success. Easing restrictions on goods entering Gaza certainly helped, as has the recent Egyptian decision to open the Raffah crossing, which Israel did not like but quickly recognized as advantageous in this context.
The ships are supposed to rendevous in the Mediterranean and then sail to Gaza but some of the likely candidates in the region are dropping out. Cyprus has announced it will not let the ships in, Greece will let them in but is stalling them with red tape at Israel’s request, activists complain. Greece has its own issues this week and will have limited energy to spend on this, one way or the other.
Elsewhere in Europe, delegations met with problems as insurance companies were reluctant to issue policies for the ships and their passengers, after an Israeli legal group, Shurat Hadin, sent letters to the world’s leading marine insurance companies advising them they could be held accountable for damages and complicit to violating the law. Other initiatives seek to block satellite communications services to the ships.
The Turkey-based IHH was to be the biggest contingent of the flotilla, its massive passenger ship the largest by far of the dozens of vessels originally slated to sail. Last week the organization announced the ship was staying home.
Icy relations between Israel and Turkey, once-tight allies, are thawing out these days. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated Turkish Prime Minister Tayyep Erdogan on his reelection, then deputy foreign minister Danny Ayalon reached out to Turkish journalists and vice prime minister Moshe Yaalon was dispatched abroad for discreet talks with Turkish counterparts.
With Syria’s troubles spilling into its backyard, Turkey may have bigger fish to fry at this time — and both countries seem keen to work things out in advance of the United Nations report on the 2010 flotilla. Turkey was not impressed with the early draft and Israeli media suggest the final report, currently due early July, is still pretty critical of Turkey. And Israel, for its part, always needs all the friends it can get.
In recent weeks, the military completed a series of comprehensive drills for intercepting the next flotilla. Netanyahu is determined to uphold the naval blockade, which Israel says aims only to prevent gunrunning to Hamas-ruled Gaza and not against Palestinian civilians. On Monday, the security cabinet approved the operational plan presented by the army.
Israel has reached understandings with Egypt about the ships docking in El Arish and inspecting the cargo before transfer to Gaza by land in case participants decline Israel’s invitation to dock at its Ashdod port — as expected. There’s no humanitarian crisis in Gaza, repeat Israeli spokespeople, who call the flotilla a provocation.
The organizers and activists are equally determined to sail for Gaza and are undeterred by the difficulties. And if Israel has eased up some on Gaza, well, if anything, this just proves flotillas work, says the Free Gaza movement . At a news conference in Athens on Monday, organizers said the 10 ships taking part in the voyage would gather at sea toward the weekend before heading to Gaza.
Meanwhile, until any encounter at sea, the skirmish is being waged on YouTube and all sides are uploading fast and furious — some straightforward, others kind of clever.
And back to that media lesson learned. One of the main problems Israel had getting its message across last time (besides the message) was the long delay in releasing timely visual images and information from the scene while the operation was still ongoing, leaving the media stage to activists and semi-professionals and an anti-Israeli angle. For weeks, Israeli officials have been stressing the importance of the media battlefield and assuring outlets that professional and credible material will be much more timely.
That’s good. Less good was the letter from Government Press Office director Oren Helman on Sunday, warning foreign press they could be deported and banned from working in Israel for 10 years if they participated in the flotilla. Besides infuriating both local and international media, the move seems to have embarassed Netanyahu, who ordered the directive be rethought.

Gaza boat: Three questions for Marwan Bishara
Our senior political analyst on the international significance of the Gaza-bound aid flotilla.
The reasons fo the Mavi Marmara’s absence from the current aid flotilla headed to Gaza might be political [Reuters]
On the one-year anniversary of the violent Israeli raid on an aid flotilla that left nine people dead, another international aid convoy is being sent to the Gaza Strip, where an Israeli-enforced blockade has created a humanitarian crisis.
Marwan Bishara, Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst, comments on three crucial issues surrounding the convoy and Israel’s vow to prevent it from reaching the Palestinians.
What is the flotilla trying to accomplish considering Egypt’s recent partial lifting of the Gaza siege?
Any medical and humanitarian aid will save lives in the impoverished and overpopulated Gaza Strip, home to over a million refugees.
However, with Egypt’s partial lifting of the siege, the importance of the flotilla is increasingly symbolic and strategic.
It underlines the role of the international solidarity with the Palestinians, and puts pressure on Israel to lift the siege and allow for free movement of Palestinians within their own homeland.
After all, the 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza weren’t only cut off from the outside world, they were also violently torn away from their homeland.
Strategically, the international civil society activists sailing to Gaza are helping expose Israeli repression and its occupation of Palestine on the agenda of the international community.
People power, as we’ve seen in recent months, can be, well, powerful and effective.
Does it pose security risk to Israel?
It’s rather strange despite last years debacle, that Israel insists on deploying military means to confront peace activists trying to deliver humanitarian aid to a besieged people.
The Israeli security cabinet has instructed Defense Minister Ehud Barak to stop the flotilla after failing to pressure European governments to block their exit to sea.
But Israel’s security justifications don’t add up. Could anyone imagine that France, Greece or Turkey would allow a ship carrying European civil society activists and more than a few journalists to sail from their shores carrying arms, and/or “terrorists”!
Even the claim that there are “extremists” on the board of the ships doesn’t hold water, since according to Israel, Gaza is already infested with and dominated by extremists and terrorists.
In reality, Israel could either swallow its false pride and “let the flotilla go” – as proposed by the daily Haaretz – or face the embarrassing consequences of another violent showdown against peaceful activists and journalists.
For the peaceful activists risking their lives, Israel has long held the population of Gaza hostage until the release of its captured soldier [I don’t use the name of the soldier, because tens of thousands of Palestinian detainees in Israeli jails remain nameless in the media] and the unseating of Hamas.
Why won’t the Mavi Marmara join the dozen ships sailing to Gaza?
The declared reason is technical difficulties. I heard that several times when I was in Turkey to explain frequent delays. Clearly that’s not the issue.
There are reports of American and Israeli pressures on the Turkish government not to escalate an already tense relationship with Israel, especially if it expects an apology and compensation for last year’s violent takeover of the Mavi Marmara and the killing of nine people in international waters.
When I asked Ahmet Davutoglu, the Turkish foreign minister, a few days ago about the Israeli threat to repeat its operation against the Turkish ship, he said: “Oh, then they will see the consequences. We cannot tolerate Israel to claim that Eastern Mediterranean belongs to them and they can do any operation in open seas or territory, in international waters. This cannot – this will not – be happening again.”
But apparently neither side is interested in such a confrontation. Instead they are reportedly conducting secret talks to arrive at a deal that turns the page on the Mavi Marmara.
Some European and international activists have argued that the solidarity effort must remain international and shouldn’t be eclipsed by another diplomatic Turkish-Israeli showdown.
With Mavi Marmara out of the equation and the Turkish activists joining hundreds of others on their ships in their peaceful journey to Gaza, Israel is finding it more difficult to justify another assault on the flotilla.

This time, Israel can pass the test of the Gaza flotilla
It’s not the test that Israel thinks it is. It’s a test to see if the country can act in its own rational interest, and let the flotilla simply go.
Friends of Israel, countries and individuals that sincerely wish Israelis well, should send a message this week: Mr. Netanyahu, Mr. Barak, for your sake, for Israel’s sake, let the flotilla sail to Gaza.
Do the right thing this time. Let it go.
Many other challenges are vying for your attention. You have yet to forge a coherent policy regarding the September Palestinian UN initiative. Five years to the week that Hamas captured Gilad Shalit in Israel and brought him to Gaza, the terms of a possible exchange deal deserve close attention.
Protests in Syria and across the region have altered old alliances and spawned new overtures. Recep Tayyip Erdogan has taken his seat as the acknowledged new dealer of record at the Mideast poker table, a man whose hand could tip the balance regarding Damascus, Beirut and Tehran together.
This time, do the unexpected thing. Do Israel a favor. Let them go.
You know that the flotilla is a test for Israel. You believe that it’s a test of your ability to stop the boats before they reach anchor in Gaza. You see it as a test of your ability to keep the siege of Gaza in place, and to fight against the delegitimization of Israel. It’s a test of the siege, all right, but not at all the test you think it is.
What this truly is, is the latest in years of tests of Israel’s ability to act in its own rational self-interest. It’s a test to see if the government will expend time and thought on bringing an end to the siege of Gaza, rather than devoting cabinet meetings, military mobilizations and bizarre media exercises to a flotilla confrontation, relating to the mashat as if it were the battle of Midway.
Once again, as it did a year ago, in making a decision to fight the flotilla, Israel is defending not itself, but the siege. This, at the expense of its own international standing, at the expense of its very freedom to defend itself.
There is nearly nothing which more effectively delegitimizes Israel – and makes Israel look more like an uncaring blockhead state – than does the siege of Gaza. The siege benefits Hamas in a thousand ways and Israel in none. But there is one thing that does the work of delegitimization even better: attacking civilians in order to protect the siege.
Enter the 21st century. Before it’s too late. You’re not young commandos anymore. Grow up. Do your nation a favor – act your age. The flotilla is not a terrorist fleet. It is not an arms shipment. The flotilla is, however, a statement about Israel, a judgment of its policies, and, in the end, the verdict will come directly from you.
The cargo of the flotilla consists of this message: Israel is callous, brutal, insensitive to civilians, heedless of human rights, wholly in the wrong. Last year, from start to finish, all the proof of this that the flotilla organizers and participants needed, was supplied by you.
It’s not too late this time. Last time, you shrugged off the flotilla as unimportant, then, back flipping from blunder to blunder, leapt blindly into a decision of rash incompetence that proved lethal.
Had you simply listened to Army Radio a day before the 2010 flotilla bloodshed, you would have heard MK and ex-IDF chief spokesman Nachman Shai describe his worst nightmare scenario: a raid in which IDF troops – inadequately prepared, sent in because the government related seriously to the flotilla only at the last moment – might open fire on peace activists, aid workers and dignitaries aboard the flotilla.
As, in the end, they did. Nine dead. Israel dishonored, disgraced. Defeated. At its own hands.
Israel can no longer afford the reflex to label anyone doing anything of an anti-Israel nature a terrorist, and to declare all those who fall into that category a legitimate target. Nor can Israel allow itself the continuing corrosion – to Israel, as well as more than a million Gazans – of the siege of the Strip.
This government, already under attack for more than a dozen bills bending the principles of democracy, cannot prepare for the 2011 flotilla by telling the foreign press corps – in a Sunday Government Press Office statement that all but drools in its desperation to proclaim the siege legal – that “participation in the flotilla is an intentional violation of Israeli law and is liable to lead to participants being denied entry into the State of Israel for ten years, to the impoundment of their equipment and to additional sanctions.”
Now, Mr. Prime Minister, you are reported to be reconsidering the press decision. There’s time, as well, to rethink boarding the flotilla.
Mr. Netanyahu, Mr. Barak, the flotilla is very much a test of Israel. You invest a great deal of thought over Israel’s capabilities of deterrence. You expend enormous effort in seeking ways to combat delegitimization. This time, show strength. Let Israel pass the test. Let the flotilla sail to Gaza.
1. As is the case in all other spheres of life, sport in the Arab communities also suffers from neglect, non-inclusiveness and discrimination. There isn’t a single Olympic-size swimming pool in the Arab communities, and regular pools, too, are few and far between. There are many Arab swimmers, but their horizon for advancement and professionalism is a very narrow one. Moreover, the field of women’s sport – such as basketball, soccer, swimming and athletics – which should enjoy widespread interest, does not receive the preferential budget it deserves.
Arab athletes have achieved success in boxing, judo, tae kwon do and karate, but there are no professional bodies to support them. Promise has been shown in tennis, too, particularly in Nazareth, but it’s all just a drop in the ocean. Arab coaches in all these sports earn a pittance, and the profession therefore is not an attractive one. Those who do choose a coaching career do so almost at their own expense.
The most popular sports in the Arab sector are soccer and jogging – perhaps because here and there you can find a soccer field in the Arab communities, and walking/running doesn’t cost anything. But the main reason why these two sports are the most popular is not a lack of awareness for other sports, but rather a lack of funding and sporting facilities. Sports halls and fields are easy to find in the Jewish communities; in the Arab schools, on the other hand, sports facilities aren’t the only things that are in short supply – there is a shortage of some 7,000 classrooms, too.
The relative success of Arab players in the world of soccer teaches that investment – for example, at well-established clubs such as Maccabi Haifa, Hapoel Tel Aviv, Maccabi Petah Tikva and Hapoel Haifa – yields achievement. But Arab athletes want to progress in fields such as swimming and boxing, too. Neglect, however, delivers a right hook to the face.
2. It’s worth noting the fact that Israeli media ignore sport in the Arab communities, bar a few exceptions – Bnei Sakhnin’s success in soccer’s Premier League, or the negative inflation of racist slurs. And here’s the place to demand painful and deterring sanctions against racism in the stands, particularly at the notorious Teddy Stadium in Jerusalem.
3. With support from government ministries and official sporting bodies almost nonexistent, responsibility falls on individuals such as myself, who are humbly trying to bridge the gap. To this end, I made use of my network of connections in the Arab world to erect Doha Stadium in Sakhnin, with the support of the Qatari Olympic committee. And my efforts in dealing with the Culture and Sports Ministry have also yielded funding of NIS 3 million to build a soccer field in Taibeh.
I cannot deny the lack of professional management at some of the sporting associations in the Arab sector, as a result of local politicization and the influence of extraneous considerations – and the examples are horribly plentiful. Nevertheless, a lack of sport and sports facilities breeds hollowness and defiance. No budget means no Arabs in sport; and when there are no Arabs, there are simply no goals.

7. Today in Palestine and a CPT report about a disgusting incident
Masked Israeli Settlers Attack Palestinian Shepherds in Mesheha Valley
June 25th, 2011
At-Tuwani – Eleven Israeli settlers armed with stones and knives attacked Shaadi Muhamari and his brother Kamal Muhamari as they grazed their sheep in Mesheha Valley, next to the Palestinian village of At-Tuwani. The attack occurred around 10 am.
According to Shaadi Muhamari, the settlers came down from the illegal Israeli outpost of Havat Ma’on. Some of the settlers were masked as they ran toward the shepherds throwing stones, yelling blasphemies against Islam and stating that internationals were now not present to protect them. According to Shaadi Muhamari, a settler attacked his donkey with a knife, and when he attempted to stop the attacker and protect his donkey, settlers hit him with stones in the back and torso. The attack left Shaadi Muhamari with bruises and welts on his back.
Settlers also chased the Palestinian’s herd for several hundred meters, throwing stones. According to the Palestinian shepherds the soldiers saw the incident and refused to get involved. Palestinians told internationals that after the attack, they saw IDF soldiers greeting and shaking hands with the settlers as they walked back into the outpost.
Shaadi stated “we need all the people of the world, Europe and America, to see who is the aggressor, and how the Palestinians are treated by the settlers.”
[Note: According to the Fourth Geneva Convention, the Hague Regulations, the International Court of Justice, and several United Nations resolutions, all Israeli settlements and outposts in the Occupied Palestinian Territories are illegal. Most settlement outposts, including Havat Ma’on (Hill 833), are considered illegal also under Israeli law.]
Operation Dove and Christian Peacemaker Teams have maintained an international presence in At-Tuwani and South Hebron Hills since 2004.
