    BBC News - Israel asks UN to shelve aid ship raid inquiry
    You have to love this bit from the article:

    "About the coming flotilla, we've heard in the media that some organisation, probably backed by a terror organisation, (is) once again trying to send a vessel into Gaza," he said.

    "We think it's a bit irresponsible to do that."
    Barak complaining about others being 'irresponsible' eh?

    But it's also striking that he 'heard in the media' about the flotilla. so Israel gets its intelligence from 'the media'. Well, given how lousy their much-hyped Mossad has shown itself to be in recent years, that's probably the best tactic.

    Norwegians: 'Ban Israeli products'

    Following the bloody attack on the Freedom Flotilla, a survey shows that 40% of Norwegians want Israeli products to be boycotted.

    According to the survey conducted by the InFact Institute and published Wednesday, 9.5 percent of Norwegians are already boycotting Israeli products, AFP reported.

    The news comes a day after the Norwegian Health Minister and leader of the country's Socialist party, Kristin Halvorsen, called on the international community to ban arms trade with Israel.

    On Monday, Norway summoned the Israeli ambassador to Oslo and slammed Israel's deadly attack on the Freedom Flotilla as an unacceptable act. Norway has also called for an immediate and independent international inquiry.

    Three Norwegians were among the international activists in the flotilla and are now held in custody by Israel.

    The Gaza Freedom Flotilla, which was carrying food and medical supplies to Gaza, came under fire early Monday morning by Israeli naval forces in international waters more than 150km off the coast of Gaza.

    Twenty international activists are reported to have been killed and 50 others injured in the incident.

    Thanks for your post, hanagah. I linked it to the who's behind the flotilla? - thread and also to the Boycott Israel Campaign - thread.

    You can sign an international petiotion at the AVAAZ website.

    Petition to governments and international organisations:
    We call for an immediate, international investigation into the flotilla assault, full accountability for those responsible, and the lifting of the Gaza blockade.
