DESCRIPTION:Saturday June 5, 2010    Greet Gaza Freedom Flotilla Organizer, Paul 
 Larudee\n\nBay Area Activist Paul Larudee Returns After Israeli Attack on 
 Gaza Freedom Flotilla  - Let Us Welcome Him Home!\n\nLarudee will be 
 arriving at San Francisco International Airport on Saturday, June 5 at 
 12:50 p.m. on Air France Flight #2333. A delegation will be meeting him to 
 take him to the rally in San Francisco. Join us in welcoming Paul back to 
 the Bay Area!\n\nEl Cerrito resident Paul Larudee, co-founder of the Free 
 Gaza Movement and of the Free Palestine Movement, was aboard the Freedom 
 Flotilla as it tried to deliver thousands of tons of humanitarian aid 
 supplies to Gaza. He was injured by Israeli commandos when they attacked 
 and seized the vessels of the Freedom Flotilla in international waters on 
 May 31. Nine humanitarian aid workers were killed by the Israeli forces, 
 including one American.\n\nLarudee had sailed aboard the first ship that 
 ran the Israeli blockade of Gaza with a load of humanitarian supplies in 
 2008.  This was his second voyage running the blockade.\n\nLarudee, a 
 former St. Mary's College linguistics professor, has traveled to Gaza at 
 least five times as a member of International Solidarity Movement 
 delegations. He was shot in the leg during a trip in the late 1990s while 
 defending Palestinian homes from Israeli bulldozers. He was  imprisoned in 
 Israel during one of the visits for two weeks.\n\nA San Francisco Chronicle 
 front page story discussed Larudee's experiences in the Israeli attack: \n
