22nd June 2009 Video Free Gaza News PRESS CONFERENCE

Special Edition : Press Conference in Doha, Qatar - 21st June 2009.
Two of the organizers, Huwaida Arraf and Greta Berlin, as well as the Honorable Cynthia McKinney, former U.S. Congresswoman from Georgia, held a press conference yesterday in Doha, Qatar. All three called on the world to recognize Palestinian human and civil rightsrights that have been denied for 61 years.
In three days, the Free Gaza movement sails 240 miles from Cyprus to Gaza, its eighth mission to break Israels draconian siege on 1.5 million Palestinians there. In the holds of the FREE GAZA and the SPIRIT OF HUMANITY will be tons of cement, and suitcases full of toys, crayons and coloring books for the children, all items banned by Israels government.

Speaking to Al Jazeera and eight other news organizations, Ms Arraf emphasized, International donors pledged over $4bn to rebuild Gaza, yet none of them are doing a thing about the fact that Israel allows no building supplies into the territory. So 36 of us from 16 countries are leaving on Thursday to tell the world to do something.

The group intends to go at least three times over the summer; June 25th, July 14th, and August 16th, near the anniversary of the first successful voyage.

We will not ask Israel's permission to go. We will not stop. We will make sure that the world knows that Israel occupied and brutalizes the Palestinians of Gaza, that they make money off their occupation, and that the major reason they want to stop us is because they are busy stealing the Natural Gas of Gaza.

So long as the people of Gaza are imprisoned by Israel we will continue to sail our boats to Gaza, carrying basic materials denied them by Israel and so desperately needed to rebuild lives and homes destroyed by Israeli terrorism. If the Israelis stop us they only prove that Gaza is still occupied.
