"Israel" did not distinguish anyone on board of the humanitarian Freedom Flotilla during its attack and arrest, neither by religion, background, nor by the stance of the activists' hometown regarding "Israel".

It neglected the fact that each of these activists is a citizen of a country, and a member of an International organization that would react to its aggression.
It simply acted upon its usual "over the law" attitude.

In addition to the international laws it overstepped in its Monday aggressions, "Israel" also attacked and seized journalists from different backgrounds.

Reporters without Borders organization, who had a minimum of 15 journalists aboard humanitarian Freedom Flotilla, and until now cannot be reached directly, is urging the "Israeli" authorities to release them, or to say where they are being held.

On the other hand, in addition to the three seized Aljazeera crew members who were on board of Freedom Flotilla, reporter Abbas Nasser, photographer Andre Abi Khalil, and Mr. Hussein Shukur, another Al Jazeera TV crew was attacked by "Israeli" citizens in the port of Ashdod Monday after the "Israeli" war minister announced the attack on the flotilla.


Aljazeera's bureau chief in the Palestinian territories, Walid Al Omri was injured in the attack.
Another case is that of Press TV British national correspondent Hassan Ghani.
He was onboard of the humanitarian flotilla, and three days after the deadly "Israeli" attack, his fate remains unknown.


All contact with Ghani was lost soon after "Israeli" commandos intercepted the Freedom Flotilla in international waters.
A short video obtained by Press TV shows Ghani on board a ship that was coming under attack on Monday.

His father, Haq Ghani, said the British Foreign Office has not provided him with much information on the situation of his son Press TV reported.

"I haven't been able to learn much from the Foreign Office in the British government, whose job is to inform us about British subjects who have been caught in these sorts of situations," Haq told Press TV on Wednesday.
