An Australian journalist and photographer on an aid boat headed for the Gaza Strip is among the many wounded or dead, after Israeli commandos once again decided to massacre unarmed civilians. The "commandos" boarded the ships, led by a Turkish vessel with 600 people on board, in international waters. Israeli commandos boarded the ships in international waters overnight, backed by warships and heavily armed military helicopters. Communication with the civilian victims of this unprovoked Israeli attack was not available, since the Israelis apparently jammed all communications, in order to prevent the civilized world from hearing about yet another Israeli atrocity against innocent civilians. Mr. McGeough, one of the Australians on that ship, reported that the Israeli massacre was unprovoked, and was representative of the usual disregard for the lives of civilians by the Israeli military. Turkey reportedly has "strongly protested" against Israeli's action, and the European Union has called for an inquiry into the deaths aboard the Gaza aid ships. In a statement, the EU's foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton expressed her regret for the loss of life by this unprovoked attack of the Israeli military, and called for an immediate and unconditional opening of the crossing into Gaza to allow the delivery of humanitarian aid, while the Arab League has condemned Israel's actions as
a terrorist act!
