Three Bay Area residents in flotilla raided by Israelis are unharmed (California Activists)

Three of the nine Americans reportedly on board a Gaza Strip-bound flotilla raided by Israeli soldiers early today are Bay Area activists but they were apparently not among those injured or killed, according to news reports, friends and family.

At least nine pro-Palestinian activists were killed and dozens were wounded when Israeli naval commandos seized the boats about 70 miles offshore.

Meanwhile, about 200 demonstrators gathered in front of the Israeli consultant in downtown San Francisco this aternoon to condemn the raid before marching through the city.

A few dozen counterprotesters waving Israeli and American flags confronted pro-Palestinian demonstrators, but police kept the groups apart. No arrests were reported.

Bay Area residents on the flotilla include linguist Paul Larudee of El Cerrito; retired math teacher Janet Kobren and construction engineer Eugene St. Onge, both of Oakland.

Members of the San Francisco Bay Area chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-SFBA) today expressed concern for the safety of the Bay Area activists.
