Activists Are Risking Their Lives To Break The Brutal Blockade On Gaza

Under international law, all countries that have signed onto the Genocide Convention are mandated to both prevent and stop genocides, yet the genocide of Palestinians, particularly in Gaza, has continued unabated. Given the failure of most governments to fulfill their duties, civilians from around the world are organizing humanitarian flotillas to break through the blockade on Gaza. Clearing the FOG speaks with James Marc Leas, a lawyer and Palestine solidarity activist who is in Italy to support the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. He discusses the conditions in Palestine, the laws, and Israel's illegal seizure of Global Sumud Flotilla boats and activists. For more information, visit PopularResistance.org.
