INTERNATIONAL CRISIS GROUP - NEW MEDIA RELEASE
Flotilla Attack the Deadly Symptom of a Failed Policy
Brussels/Washington/Jerusalem, 31 May 2010: The International Crisis Group condemns Israel’s assault on a flotilla of humanitarian aid bound for Gaza, which resulted in a tragic loss of life.
At the same time, the incident is an indictment of a much broader policy toward Gaza for which Israel does not bear sole responsibility.
For years, many in the international community have been complicit in a policy that aimed at isolating Gaza in the hope of weakening Hamas. This policy is morally appalling and politically self-defeating. It has harmed the people of Gaza without loosening Hamas's control. Yet it has persisted regardless of evident failure.

Joint Statement of
Robert Serry, UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process and
Filippo Grandi, Commissioner-General of the UN Relief and Works Agency
31 May 2010
We are shocked by reports of killings and injuries of people on board boats carrying supplies for Gaza, apparently in international waters. We condemn the violence and call for it to stop. The situation is still ongoing and we are awaiting confirmation of what has happened. However, we are in contact with the Israeli authorities to express our deep concern and to seek a full explanation. We are also urging them in the strongest terms to ensure that no further steps are taken that could endanger civilian lives. We wish to make clear that such tragedies are entirely avoidable if Israel heeds the repeated calls of the international community to end its counterproductive and unacceptable blockade of Gaza.

Statement from Dr Rhona MacDonald, former senior editor, The Lancet
After two months of disciplinary procedures in which I was not allowed to talk to anyone, I have been dismissed from my position as senior editor of The Lancet for putting my ethical obligations before the policies of Elsevier, The Lancet’s publisher.
Although Elsevier acknowledge that I acted with integrity, that they understand the reasons for my actions, and that my actions were “moral,” I have been dismissed for “gross misconduct.”

Whatever you may think progress looks like — a rebounding stock market, a new house, a good raise — the governments of the world have long held the view that only one statistic, the measure of gross domestic product, can really show whether things seem to be getting better or getting worse. G.D.P. is an index of a country’s entire economic output — a tally of, among many other things, manufacturers’ shipments, farmers’ harvests, retail sales and construction spending. |
