NOVANEWS
I am proud of what the GFM did. But we did not break the siege. Viva Palestine did. It’s worth thinking about why, and how, except, I’m still waiting for permission to get into Gaza from the Mu-Barak Zionist regime. So that will wait, except to note that Viva has effectively straddled the humanitarian-political barrier very effectively, despite whatever other shortcomings the convoys may have. They get aid, monetary and political, and are able to bring in real physical assistance and intangible morale to the inhabitants of Gaza, without compromising the struggle. Until then:
“The world will be seeing this image. And what is this image? This image is a humanitarian convoy, with medicine, from 17 countries, with people of all races and creeds, coming together being faced by ranks of riot police and water cannons. That’s what the world will see tonight.”
