The link to the Globe piece is broken or else the editors of the Globe have decided they don't want to cover that story.
Meanwhile here is a press release covering the same:
Montreal, 20121021-11h45
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition is concerned about the treatment of the Estelle crew by Israeli authorities.
The Estelle was attacked by the IDF at 10AM local time on Saturday.
Eighteen hours later the crew had still to meet consular representatives or lawyers. Circulating reports about theuse of force and tasers during the attack on the Estelle increase our worries about the well-being of the crew members.
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition is also concerned about reports that Israeli crew members were transferred to Ashkelon prison and will face persecution.
“Despite the confirmed deportation of some of the crew members (from Greece and Italy) we are deeply concerned about the continuing detention of the others, including Jim Manly,” said Ehab Lotayef, noting Manly is a former Canadian MP (1980-88) and retired United Church Minister.
“We call on all governments to increase pressure on the Israeli government to ensure the Estelle crew are treated with dignity, that their rights as non-violent protesters be respected and that they all be released immediately,” said Lotayef.
even in the camps the prisoners were allowed to make music - but shitty little Israel seems to hate the fact that Palestinian children might make music
I see we have a poster from an American Holocaust denial site being displayed.
good poster though isn't it?. Are you denying that this is true about the musical instrument ban?
Or are you trying to smear the poster because you cannot attack the truth of the FACTS it is highlighting?
Just goes to show you, even nasty holocaust deniers can still create a poster that presents some damning concrete facts about the stupidity of israeli policy in a very striking fashion!
from the usual suspects.
Never can pass up an opportunity to use the Holocaust for political gain
That's one of the main reasons that more and more people are beginning to despise the Zionists -
Wolfhound thinks that just by posting about "Denial" he can distract people from the fact that Israel likes to punish little children and make their lives as miserable as possible
Not only are Palestinian children not allowed musical instruments but the Israelis make sure that they do not receive enough food either
This is after they actually made the cold-blooded calculation of the absolute minimum calorie requirements (something the Nazis also did to camp inmates) but then made sure prevent many food shipments getting through, making ti impossible to provide the calculated minimum that they themselves acknowledged.
So essentially they are deliberately attempting to create malnutrition amongst the captive Palestinian population they have penned into the largest prison camp in the world.
IMHO the Nazis would look at the Israelis and say "wow I wish we could have got away with that without being criticised by the US"
Israel is a VERY sick society
He's trying to smear the poster because he cannot attack the truth of the FACTS
The Zio-racists are getting desperate.
It's bad alright when even when the Zio-racists scream "Denier" the Zionists still look like the bad guys
So it's ok to trawl through American ( labor ! ) White Power and conspiracy theory sites just as long as the link is only to something nasty about the Jews ? Well, FYI, there were no " orchestras" in the death camps...music was played as the trains decanted their soon-to-be murdered passengers...to give a soothing impression !
Secondly, Hamas has banned music in Gaza as un-Islamic...and music shops have been firebombed. Hamas are islamists...not Islamic.
