There are rumors that the MV Rachel Corrie is returning to Ireland and that a massive flotilla for Gilad Shalit will be organized to sail into Gaza. They demand Gilad Shalit be given the minimum rights according to the Geneva Convention that is recognized throughout the civilized world.
Throughout Europe many government politicians and news media are condemning the fact that the Iranian-backed Hamas government in Gazahas not allowed any visits to Gilad Shalit since his capture from International Committee of the Red Cross. They have not allowed or accepted any Geneva Convention for a prisoner. His humanitarian rights being violated are strongly protested.
There are many massive demonstrations throughout Europe, the US and many other countries around the globe. A massive demonstration in Istanbul demanded Gilad Shalit right to be visited by the ICRC had become violent and an unknown amount of people have been injured.
Since the people who plan on being aboard are peace activists and law-abiding humanitarians, they recognize that the Government of Gaza is run by the Hamas. Though they were not truly elected, the Hamas through the military takeover of Gaza is today the recognized government of Gaza. Spokesman for the new flotilla group, Achmed Kishme’en Tu’hash , is quoted as saying "The era of justice and Islamic rule has arrived."
There has been UN condemnation of the brutal repressions of these massive demonstrations and government leaders are trying to negotiate and calm this situation.
Millions throughout the world are waiting to see the Free Gilad Shalit Flotilla set sail.
