Free Gaza: Salute to Courage

Friday August 22, 2008 at 02:01PM

While the governments of the world collude if only by their inaction to the starving of Gaza population--a criminal act by any standard--two boats, full of human rights activits, set out from Cyprus today to try to break the blocade imposed by Israel on Gaza and its people. The people on the boat exemplify principles of commitment to human rights. They also exemplify courage: faced with all sorts of threats to their lives they set off. Hats off to all those decent human beings on these two boats. Hats off to the authorities in Cyprus which facilitated the mission and did all they could to ensure the safety of the boats and the activists while on Cypriote territory.

This is the kind of action that will bring freedom to the opressed not government hot air rhetoric. This is the kind of challenge that needs to happen to bring dignity to all human beings.

Here is a link to the free Gaza movement site where you can get more information www.freegaza.org

Please visit the site and help in whichever way you can.

Free Gaza - this has gone on long enough - and they can tear down that wall too while they are at it.

Yes indeed: this has gone far too long and has to stop. The wall has to come down and people have to find the way to live together as equal citizens of a single country: no borders and no distinctions based on ethnicity, religion, gender or otherwise.
For this to happen, the US and EU countries have to stop meddling and to stop their blind and unconditional support for Israel. It is so disgusting to see the hypocrisy when those countries condemn Russia while they turn their eyes to what is happening in Gaza and the West Bank. Not only they turn their eyes but they actively support the policy of occupation by their political, diplomatic and economic support to the Apartheid regime in Israel. Enough is enough.

A woman who lived in Berlin when the wall came down gave me a little piece of it. I have many times thought that maybe I should sent it to the Israeli authorities - they could recycle it in their own wall. Maybe all of us that have a little bit of the Berlin wall should do it - but then again, I don't suspect that the Israelis would get the point.
