It's a small mercy that: "The Viva Palestina convoy is now steaming towards Egypt after facing down all efforts to delay or stop its mission to bring relief to the besieged people of Gaza" (Alice Howard; Viva Palestina).
It's a large crime, a crime against humanity that Egypt, a client state of Israel and the US, cold-bloodedly obstructed vital humanitarian aid reaching the desperate Gazans and brutally assaulted the Gaza Freedom Marchers and prevented them from breaking the medieval siege of that suffering land. read full story / add a comment

The following eyewitness report of yesterday's Gaza solidarity demonstration in Egypt. The author, Mary Hughes, was born in Bolton, England and immigrated to Canada, then to the United States. She is a member of the Writer's Guild in Los Angeles.

She's been to the occupied West Bank six times, and this was meant to be her first to Gaza. In 2002 ,she was beaten by illegal settlers from Itamar near Yanoon, where she was helping Palestinian farmers harvest their olives and was on the first voyage to Gaza.

Mary is a co-founder of the Free Gaza movement and was on board the FREE GAZA in 2008, when it was the first boat to land in Gaza in 41 years. read full story / add a comment

Vanity asks the question - is it popular? But conscience asks the question is it right?
And there comes a time when one must take a position
that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular;
but one must take it because it is right.”
