Mainstream media coverage of Gaza 21
As many of you have noted, Green Party Watch has been a source of both original reporting on this breaking story, and a source of news first developed by others. With only volunteers and no cash resources we have been able to keep you, our valued readers, as up-to-date as we could.

This story from Irish Times covers Irish Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maireád Maguire, who was on board the Spirit of Humanity when it and all crew were taken by the Israeli Defense Force. The article says Maguire remains incommunicado in an Israeli prison
Haaretz, published in Israel, writes that Maguire, Cynthia McKinney and six others are to be released.
The Atlanta Journal/Constitution reported that McKinney was scheduled to leave Tel Aviv for the United States today, as she apparently has, and includes quotes from both McKinney’s mother and Rev. Joseph Lowery.
