Global Research's Julie Levesque's participation in another mission to bring food and medicine to the starving residents of the Gaza strip was organized by (PGPF), the Perdana Global Peace Foundation. On May 16, 2011, when the "Spirit of Rachel Corrie" (a young and determined woman) who was brutally killed by an Israeli bulldozer, entered Palestinian waters undetected and was immediately attacked by the entire Israeli Navy, which is supported by US contributions to the Zionoist cause, despite the fact that Israel destroyed and machine gunned our USS Liberty. At the time, I was the Intelligence Operations Officer of our 4th US Armored Division in Goeppingen, Germany. When I brought the information to General Sherrer, our division's commander, who commented, while I was standing in his door way: "With friends like these, we have no need of enemies". But, I digress: The idea of sending flotillas to Gaza came originally from former Malaysian Prime Minister, and Perdana Global Peace Foundation's founder Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, who had been an outspoken advocate of the rights of the Palestinians. Like most people who take a firm stand against the illegal actions of the state of Israel, he was labeled "antisemitic". This type of "ad hominem"attack is the only is the only stratagem left to those who wish to defend an illegal and immoral occupation.
