Peace Boat protest outside the Israeli Embassy in Tokyo
In response to the horrific May 31 attack by the Israeli Army on the humanitarian aid ships of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, which have left an as-yet-unknown number of activists dead and injured, Peace Boat held a protest action in front of the Israeli Embassy in Tokyo, alongside other Japan-based NGOs, to condemn the attacks and call for an end to the blockade on Gaza.

During the events being held in the ship's call to Copenhagen on June 1, Peace Boat's statement on the attack was presented to the press, and Hibakusha (survivors of the atomic bombings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki) offered their perspectives on the violence.
