As you’ve probably heard the Israeli Navy has intercepted an multinational flotilla of ships carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza. At least ten activists were killed in the conflict, and many more wounded. All the other activists have been taken into custody by the Israeli Government. There are no Canadian ships in the flotilla, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t any Canadians aboard. Kevin Neish is a peace activist who was on the ship to act as a human shield. We haven’t been able to reach Kevin since the ships were attacked, but we spoke to him on Friday as he was walking to the harbor to board his ship. 

Kevin Neish is a Canadian peace activist. We reached him on Friday as he was walking to the port to board his ship, part of the Free Gaza Flotilla carrying aid and humanitarian supplies to Gaza in an attempt to break the Israeli siege there.

Rabble radio will continue to try to get in touch with Neish, and update the program when we do.
