WRITE! for Justice, International Law, and Human Rights in Palestine
The Free Gaza flotilla is on its way to bring much needed supplies to Israeli occupied and blockaded Gaza. Unlike previous Free Gaza boats, this flotilla includes large vessels and will be carrying substantial amounts of reconstruction, medical and school supplies along with 800 passengers from 50 countries. It cannot afford to fail. This is an opportunity to denounce the inhumanity of Israel’s three year long siege and running. Israel has already said they will stop the flotilla from reaching Gaza’s shore, as they have previously done with other Free Gaza boats. We cannot wait until something happens before we mobilize. If we are to be helpful in this effort, we need to begin support activities immediately. If the convoy has already been attacked or blockaded, our demonstration will be a powerful protest. If it has not yet arrived, our demonstration will be a demand that it be allowed to pass in peace.
