Mavi Marmara Attack- A Barrier To Peace In The Middle East

The Mava Marmara set out from Istanbul for Gaza on 22nd May. It carried $20m worth of aid. As everyone knows, the ship was however attacked, killing 9 of the 500 or more peace activits and injuring dozens more. Israel's continuing disregard for international law, its blockade of Gaza and the construction illegal settlements in East Jerusalem will affect the security of the United States and ally nations as well. It will also be an insurmountable obstacle to peace in the Middle East.
