An international fact-finding mission of the UN Human Rights Council concluded that Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip is "collective punishment"--a war crime--and that its May 31, 2010, attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, which killed nine passengers, in order to enforce its blockade was "illegal."

Solidarity activists from around the world, including US Campaign member group U.S. Boat to Gaza, are preparing "Freedom Flotilla II--Stay Human," to break Israel's blockade in June. Tell President Obama that his administration must ensure the flotilla's safe passage and prevent Israel from perpetrating another bloody attack.
