George Galloway, British MP, spoke out strongly in support of the cause of a free Palestine. He ripped into Israel's military siege of Gaza, along with its ongoing blockade, which continues to put 1.7 million of its residents at grave risk to their health and safety. Galloway said the people of Gaza are "locked up." He also traced the history of Palestine, the evils of the British Empire and the massive crime of Colonialism. He referred to Israel as an "Apartheid State." The event, entitled, "Viva Palestina: A Lifeline from the U.S. to Gaza," was held on the campus of American U., in Washington, D.C., on Sunday evening, June 28, 2009. It was a fundraiser for a "special U.S. convoy, which will travel from New York City to Egypt before making its way across the Rafah border into Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid," according to the organizers press release. Galloway, who is also an author, is in the finest tradition of another legendary British MP, and champion of justice, liberty and humanity--John Wilkes.
