This assault on humanitarian aid vessels constitutes not only a blatant violation of international law but also a grave breach of the most fundamental values of humanity. This atrocity, directed against the right to life of innocent children, women, and civilians in Gaza, amounts to an unacceptable massacre.

The ILC calls upon the international community to take immediate action to put an end to this barbarity and to ensure that Israel is held accountable for this crime.

Freedom, equality, and the right to life are the most natural rights of all human beings. Those who remain silent today will have no legitimacy to speak of these principles tomorrow.

Israel represents a common threat to the future of humanity and the entire world.

You may remain silent while children sleep — but never while they are being shot, bombed and starved to death.
