Viva Palestina US Crosses Into Gaza through Rafah - Short Speech By George Galloway

At approximately 1820GMT on July 15 2009, the Viva Palestina US Convoy finally crossed into Gaza from the Rafah Crossing in Egypt. Headed up by the British Member of Parliament, George Galloway as well as former Congresswoman Cynthia Mckinney, the convoy was due to bring over US$1million of AID and humanitarian assistance into the besieged Gaza Strip. Due to problems created by the Mobarak Regime in Egypt they were finally only able to cross with half of that amount of aid.

This recording was recorded live as they entered Gaza, and has a short speech by George Galloway where he explains the situation and introduces that there will soon be a Viva Palestina Venezuala.

Broadcast on PressTV at approximately 1820GMT on July 15, 2009.

hey man thanks for your comment. I know your main interest is probably the Palestine and Israel Conflict, and I have many more videos up from the "Dignity Action Movement" organization Founded by Cynthia McKinney; but also many other videos on various Political Topics as well as videos on my MixTape/Compialation cd Business etc.

please help spread the word at your Discretion and Convenience?

Israel never left Gaza even though it made a show of doing so back in 2005.

Israel controls the borders of Gaza through force effectively turning the region into one giant open air concentration camp.

If you don't believe me then try reaching Gaza by boat.

See how far you get.

Hamas (an unpleasant organisation in many ways) was elected because Fatah was corrupt and self serving - and as Israel's proxy - did very little for the Palestinians.

The rockets were resistance to Israeli expansion.

[ewingsco]

Israel is expanding it borders slowly by building more settlements - Root cause of the conflict.

On June 8, 1967, US Navy intelligence ship USS Liberty was suddenly and brutally attacked on the high seas in international waters by the air and naval forces of Israel. The Israeli forces attacked with full knowledge that this was an American ship and lied about it. Survivors have been forbidden for 40 years to tell their story under oath to the American public. The USS Liberty Memorial web site tells their story and is dedicated to the memory of the 34 brave men who died.

As the jewish people are very pleased with zionism and even 50% of the israeli arabs are voting for the zionist parties, they have not the slightest intention to abolish it.

[shlomof]

And in 1967 when Israel was forced into war by Nasser, who blocked the Tiran Straits, and Hussein made the mistake and joined him, the territories were conquered by Israel and till now more than 90% were given back - Sinai and Gaza.

[shlomof]

And as it often happens to agressors, they lost and found themselves ruled by Jordan and Egypt.

[shlomof]

As usual your memory is very selective.

The palestinians, not the jews, rejected 181, and they, not the jews, went to war to conquer the part that was given to the jews.
