    URGENT ACTION REQUIRED: CONTACT YOUR MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT NOW

We are confirming that the two ships en route to Gaza, the Canada Boat to Gaza
Tahrir, and the Irish boat Saoirse are under attack by the Israeli Navy. 
Israeli warships are approaching both ships. The Tahrir has received radio
contact from the Israeli authorities, asking about their final destination.
Canadian Ehab Lotayef replied, ‘the conscience of humanity’. When asked
again, he said ‘The betterment of mankind’. Boarding and commandeering are
imminent. On board the Tahrir are three Canadians, Montrealer Ehab Lotayef,
Londoner David Heap, and Karen DeVito from Toronto, as well as Australian
Michael Coleman, American Kit Kittredge and 20-year-old Israeli Majd Kayal. 
Also on board are five international journalists, including Jihan Hafiz of
Democracynow.org.  The boats are presently 48 nautical miles off the coast of
Gaza. The first flotilla to break the siege was intercepted about 35 nautical
miles off shore.

Now is the time to act. Call your local Member of Parliament and Canada's
foreign Minister John Baird and tell them to press the Israelis to ensure the
safety of those aboard the two ships!
