Former US Marine and initiator of the Human Shield Action to Iraq, Ken
O'Keefe, was jailed last night by Israeli authorities attempting to enter
the Gaza Strip. He wished to discuss with the people and leaders of Gaza
the P10K plan to bring 10,000 western citizens to act as international
observers in the Palestinian Occupied Territories. P10K also calls for a
cessation of offensive operations from the Israeli Government and the
militant Palestinian Resistance, upon the arrival of the 10,000 strong
P10K Force.

"Israeli state terrorism is fueling the conflict; Israel must stop its
assassinations, incursions, house demolitions and building of the wall,
and fully withdraw its illegal settlements and military from the occupied
territories until there can be any movement towards a peaceful resolution
of this conflict. Palestinian human rights must be respected, most
importantly the right to life, but also the right to travel, which I was
denied today."
