US Jews to hold flotilla protest

[azurnoir]

"The overwhelming majority of American Jews," said Rabbi Michael Lerner, chair of the Network of Spiritual Progressives and editor of Tikkun Magazine, "are saddened at the killings and wounding that took place on the high seas on May 31st, and want to make clear that this kind of behavior is not a morally acceptable or politically effective way for Israel to achieve security."

Muslim and Christian clerics are also expected to be in attendance.
