The image of activists being restrained on the “Freedom Flotilla” raises questions bigger than one incident.

How can civilians showing humanitarian solidarity be treated this way simply for supporting a besieged population?

Beyond politics, there’s an important legal and ethical debate here:
Where do “security concerns” end, and where do the rights of peaceful activists begin?

And what does it mean when solidarity or humanitarian action is met with force?
