This call is for activists, individuals, groups, communities and all others who are shocked and outraged at the Israeli breach of not only international law and UN conventions but also the values and principles of humanity.
The idea is simple. We need to focus the message that Freedom Flotilla is conveying of breaking the Israeli siege in Gaza and also challenge Israel’s blatant barbarism towards humanity. Global ‘Break the Siege’ day is about connecting efforts happening all over the world in response to Israel’s impunity on one day dedicated to speaking out on breaking the Israeli siege for Gaza.
In this action, we are collectively calling for:
- an end to the siege in Gaza
- complete isolation of Israel in line with the global movement of boycott, divestment and sanctions.
- sanctions to be place on Israel until they abide by international law, UN conventions and basic human rights principles.
so, on June 5th, 2010:
- organize pickets, rallies, demonstrations marches in front of Israeli consulates in your countries
- if you don’t have an Israeli consulate in your country then organize around any complicit allies of Israel that you find strategic such as, major israeli companies or institutions, non-Israeli companies and institutions that support Israel.
- if there is already a rally organized then endorse the call to encourage other countries to get involved, send it to your contacts in other countries to start organizing their own protests and add a creative action at the protest or rally.
- forward this call to all organizers and activists to start protests or any kind of action
- if saturday does not work, then organize around that day such as friday, sunday or monday
- send us pictures and other documentation from your action
Thanks for all your support and looking forward to the day of action!
Please

Hi there I simply wanted to drop in and say many thanks for the knowledge in this article. I somehow wound up here just after reading up on loads of celebrity fitness stuff over on Google… guess I lost track of what exactly I was doing! Anyway I’ll be returning in the near future to check out your blogposts down the road. See you later!
