Minneapolis, June 1, 2010. About 250 protesters rallied in front of the Minneapolis office of Senator Amy Klobuchar to protest the May 30 attack on the Free Gaza Flotilla in international waters off the coast of Gaza.

The second half of the video is footage of some of the 30 protesters in Sen Klobuchar's office passionately expressing their concerns with her representative.

1. People all around the world are protesting Israel's slaughter

of innocent civilians on a humanitarian mission.

I salute these Minnesotans for taking the moral high ground and speaking up about these cold-blooded murders.

3. Do they also denounce Hamas refusing the flotilla aid after Israel tried to deliver it?

Inquiring minds want to know.

6. right, because the two are completely equivalent.

that is, assuming for the sake of argument that what you're alleging is actually true.

7. Apparently you don't follow the news

Nor read DU enough. There are threads about it. Hamas declined it. The flotilla was not about humanitarian aid. Humanitarian aid is already allowed. Israel just wants to inspect what goes into Gaza first because of Hamas wanting to kill them.

8. I must be missing something.

Is this one of those political straw-men kind of things, because it looks like a humanitarian aid boat to me.

How is this not an aid boat?

10. Who said it wasn't an aid boat?

I'm confused by your question.

11. It was pretty clear

The humanitarian aid from the flotilla was refused by Hamas when Israel tried to deliver it.

12. Obvious thread hijacking is obvious

That was the point of my post you are responding to.

Diversion is the tactic that is being used, obfuscation of the discussion is the intended result.

13. Why did Hamas decline it? Let's see how well you've followed.

4. We need to become more visible here in America with our protests.

Today Israel shot a Maryland girl in the face with a tear gas canister in a jerusalem protest. She lost her eye.

14. wonderful Video

This was not shown in any of the corp media.
Loved the diversity of people speaking out.

How sad Sen Klobuchar is controlled by AIPAC.
