Flotilla II: Kevin Neish Well-Wishes Rally Hopes to reach Gaza

On Saturday June 25th several people gathered at the Downtown Victoria Inner Harbour to send their well-wishes to activist Kevin Neish, of Victoria.
He is set to travel with other activists/humanitarians from all over the world carrying aid to Gaza a-board Tahrir Canada Canada-Boat-to-Gaza - part of the group of Flotilla II - adventure with specific aim to break the illegal blockade of Gaza. Flotillas are in the midst of leaving port (as we speak) seeking to break this blockade around Gaza and raise consciousness about the plight of suffering Palestinians.
Kevin Neish was one of the passengers who was on board MV Mavi Marmara (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Mavi_Marmara) when it was attacked last May 31, 2010. 9 people were killed by the Israeli Army IDFs and several were injured.
His courage to return is a great inspiration to many. Zoe Blunt, one of the speakers at today's rally, shares her hope that - Gaza Freedom - Flotilla II will reach the goal of getting there. In this video she encourages the crowd to sing 'We Shall Overcome' which is quite moving.
Alice Walker, award-winning American author, was also mentioned today because she is traveling to Gaza a-board US Boat to Gaza. Please read also Alice Walker's comments here in the Guardian at http://tinyurl.com/6yr5pdk
for more information as to why she was inspired to join the Free Gaza Movement.

Why so called Human rights activists demonstrate against Israel,not others?

*Demonstrate in:

-Muslim world?Be killed!

-Russia,China?Be jailed!

*Boycode universes in NATO countries for killing civilian while fighting terrorists thousands of miles away from their home?

Will lose funds,popularity,jobs!

Why demonstrating in Israel?

Not afraid of being:killed ,jailed.

Will receive a great media coverage,glory,funds

They know that they will be protected by the defending Israel values,laws

@bonnibrai1

You want his real name or the name he uses as a "Peace activist"?

[danbr82]

With whom are you expressing solidarity? Hamas? Those who call for the obliteration or dissolution of Israel and the killing of Jews? Those who attack Israel with rockets? Those who use the deaths of their children to successfully manipulate world opinion? I feel for the innocent Palestinian majority It’s a damn shame that this flotilla embodies the profound ignorance among Western Israeli bashers - Try not to provoke more bloodshed.

Peace.

nice report. check out our movie on the flotillas.

Hamas = islamoNazi scum. Napalm them!

The flotilla is so badly infiltrated with informants and saboteurs that it can hardly function.

There are several foreign born, Israeli navy veterans mixed in on each ship. Nobody even knows they are Jewish.

I know one of them.
