The siege of Gaza continues. Buildings destroyed during the Israeli massacre six months ago remain in rubbles: no building materials are allowed in. Food, fuel, medicine and other necessary materials and equipment are prevented from entering the Gaza strip. The sick cannot leave to receive treatment elsewhere and no one else is allowed to leave for any reason. Philp Weiss posted the video below on his blog Mondoweiss where a Palestinian young woman from Gaza who has won a scholarship was prevented from leaving.
Well I am not sure how much more needs to happen before boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) be imposed on the Apartheid state of Israel. As with the Apartheid regime of South Africa, the Apartheid State of Israel needs to be held to account. Join the call to bycott, divest and sanction Israel for its ctions. Apartheid in South Africa was unacceptable and its unacceptable anywhere.
"We left Gaza with a tremendous responsibility to convey our understanding to the world. Today I'm going to try and execute part of my responsibility by posting videos of two students who have tried to leave Gaza on scholarships but have been prevented from doing so."
"Summer Abu Zayed is the woman. She's 23, and dressed immaculately, in a white jacket. She reminded me of a student council president. She has a formal, outgoing quality, she's a graduate of Al-Aqsa University. She came to our hotel to talk to us about her youth organization. Then--23 seconds into the video--Tom Suarez, a member of our delegation, asks her about the scholarships she's gotten stopped from accepting. Summer begins by telling another student's story."
