"We have been attacked while in international waters. That means the Israelis have behaved like pirates. . . . The moment they start to steer this ship towards Israel, we have also been kidnapped. The whole action is illegal." Henning Mankell, aboard the Gaza Freedom Flotilla

At 4:30 AM on Monday, May 31, 2010, Israeli commandos, boarding from sea and air, attacked the six boats of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla as it sailed through international waters attempting to bring humanitarian relief to the beleaguered Palestinians of Gaza. Within minutes, nine peace activists were dead, shot by the Israelis. Scores of others were injured.

Within hours, outrage at Israel's action echoed around the world. Spontaneous demonstrations occurred in Europe, the United States, Turkey, and Gaza itself to denounce the attack. Turkey's prime minister described it as a "bloody massacre" and "state terrorism."

In these pages, a range of activists, journalists, and analysts piece together the events that occurred that May night. Mixing together first-hand testimony and documentary record with hard-headed analysis and historical overview, Midnight on the Mavi Marmara reveals why the attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla may just turn out to be Israel's Selma, Alabama moment: the beginning of the end for an apartheid Palestine.

Moustafa Bayoumi is an associate professor of English at Brooklyn College, the City University of New York. He is co-editor of The Edward Said Reader and the author of the American Book Award-winning How Does It Feel to Be a Problem? Being Young and Arab in America.

"A retelling of the attack by eyewitnesses, and analysis of the blockade and the conflict in the region."—New York Times

    This book has a collection of upwards of 50 editorials or short essays on what happened that night and the conditions before and after in Gaza. It has a collection of Israeli, Palestinian, Turkish, Palestinian, etc writers who discuss various topics relatively relevant to the issue. If you have little background on the subject, it is very interesting, otherwise you might be bored. It has some interesting facts and figures about Gaza that are in various reports etc, but has no original research. It is a nice break from general academic reading on Israel-Palestine, but lacks in solid research and analysis.

    This is the true account of the Israeli carefully planned and premeditated attack on the unarmed relief ship 'Mavi Marmara' by Israeli armed commandos. This book gives the true eyewitness accounts of the passengers who were on board to help deliver baby food, wheelchairs and other relief supplies to the Palestinian people. The Israeli government will not allow any relief supplies or any humanitarian act by anyone to be given to the Palestinian people. On board the 'Mavi Marmara' were Jews and Gentiles, who had no weapons. The Israeli government knew this. Nine unarmed people from the International group on the ship were killed in the assault, and many were wounded. This is just one example of the Diabolic actions the Israeli government has been inflicting on innocent victims on a daily basis, for over 60 years.
