Fifteen Palestinian fishermen along with three internationals have been
kidnapped in Palestinian waters by the Israeli Navy. They were fishing
seven miles off the coast of Deir Al Balah, clearly in Gaza fishing
waters and well within the fishing limit detailed in the Oslo Accords of
1994.<br><br>
The fishermen and the human right's observers were transferred from 3
separate boats to the Israeli warships. Other Palestinian fishermen
reported that the 3 boats were seen being taken north by the Israeli
Navy.<br><br>
The three internationals are Andrew Muncie from Scotland, Darlene Wallach
from the United States and Victor Arrigoni from Italy. The U.K., U.S. and
Italian embassies in Tel Aviv have been contacted and know about the
abductions.<br><br>
Please call the Israeli Ministry of Justice at +972 26 46 66 66 and
register your outrage over these illegal actions by the Israeli Navy.
Then call the Embassies in Jerusalem and make sure they know that many of
us are appalled by Israel's illegal search and seizure.<br><br>
