Israeli Flotilla Raid: Chinese Reaction
Jun 3, 2010
The international outcry over the shooting dead of at least nine pro-Palestinian activists by Israeli commandos is being hotly debated online here in China.
The activists died when Israeli commandos raided the ship they were on early on Monday .Israel says its troops acted in self-defense, but campaigners deny this.
The incident has sparked widespread concern and led to calls for Israel to lift its blockade of the Gaza Strip. Israel has maintained control of Gaza's airspace and territorial waters, as well as most of its land borders, since withdrawing troops and settlers from the territory in 2005.
