Now, I have to admit I'm posting this without trying it myself, as I'm running low on disk space on this machine.

Think to yourself, ‘why is this not in the mainstream media?’:

‘Vessels from the civilian flotilla to #Gaza have again been attacked in international waters and their crews abducted by #Israeli occupation forces on May 18. The #GlobalSumudFlotilla stated the assault took place in Cyprus’ search and rescue zone, 250 miles from Gaza, and overlapped with obstructions faced by a global land convoy attempting to break the blockade of Gaza through a route in North Africa.’

At least 11 Canadians are among those taken.

We're calling on the federal government to drop its usual kid gloves treatment of Israel and exert real diplomatic pressure to secure their immediate release.
