Israel has attacked Gaza Flotilla (dead and wounded)

[Mark Stapleton]

I heard through Spanish media that only activists who agree to sign a statement (in what anguage, perhaps Hebrew, I don't know) saying that they have been treated well by the Israelis and that they agree not to make complaints or charges against the Israelis are being released.

I heard two different radio broadcasts yesterday claiming Aussie journalist Paul McGeogh was asked to sign a declaration that he had entered Israel illegally. His continued detention presumably indicates he refused to sign the statement.

Fellow Sydney Morning Herald employee, photographer Kate Geraghty, was reportedly tasered.

The Netanyahu Government won't survive this incident and its quite possible Israel won't either.
