Freedom to the Global Sumud flotilla activists: Communist Party of Israel Statement:

Again, the state of Israel illegally and brutally violates International Law as Israeli naval forces intercepted the boats of the Sumud flotilla in international waters, while forcing and dragging other countries to bare the consequences of their violations.

The detention and torture of peaceful citizens of sovereign countries, activists for peace and solidarity, who are taking responsibility which the countries of the world are required to take in order to stop the genocide and ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people in the Occupied Territories of Gaza and the West Bank- is another crime this fascist government committing under the eyes of the entire world.

The CPI, in the name of its Palestinian and Jewish comrades and supporters, wholeheartedly conveys its warmest salutes to the brave activists of the Global Sumud Flotilla,who are defying the siege imposed on Gaza with nonviolent popular struggle means and seeking to break it in a reminder that the killings in Gaza continue on a daily basis, and humanitarian aid is still denied.

Freedom to the abducted activists!

Solidarity with the courageous activists of the Global Sumud Flotilla!

Down with occupation and colonialism!

Freedom to the people of Palestine!
