Gaza Aid Flotilla

EDM number 152 in 2010-12, proposed by Simon Hughes on 03/06/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Middle East, Military operations and Terrorism.

That this House expresses its deep sorrow at the news of the tragic loss of life resulting from the action of Israeli forces against the aid flotilla bound for the citizens of Gaza and the pain which this has caused to the families of those who have lost loved ones; recognises the anger around the world; understands that while continuing conflicts between Israel and Palestine remain unresolved more lives may well be lost on both sides, further deepening hatred and distrust between many of those involved; urges all parties in the region to renounce violence, including the indirect violence of the blockade of Gaza, to commit themselves to wholly non-violent means of resolving these conflicts and to seek out and employ proven methods, and experienced practitioners, of non-violent conflict resolution to help end and heal the decades of death and suffering between the Israeli and Palestinian peoples.
