A huge convoy of over 110 vehicles will leave London today for Gaza, delivering more than #1 million worth of aid, including ambulances and a fire engine. The size of the convoy and the amount of aid it is carrying have exceeded the expectations of the organisers, grouped under the umbrella Viva Palestine and supported by many Muslim organisations as well as the Stop the War Coalition.

The Viva Palestine convoy of more than 110 vehicles will deliver aid to Gaza
The size of the convoy and the amount of aid it is carrying have exceeded the expectations of the organisers, grouped under the umbrella Viva Palestine and supported by many Muslim organisations as well as the Stop the War Coalition.
The convoy will travel 5,000 miles through France, Spain, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt, crossing into Gaza at Rafah in early March.
Hundreds of volunteers are driving the aid convoy, which includes 12 ambulances, a boat and trucks full of medicines, tools, clothes, blankets and shoe-boxes as well as gifts for children.
Respect MP George Galloway, who will help to drive, said: "There is an intifada sweeping Britain. It is a massive and peaceful movement in support of the beleaguered population of Gaza and Palestine.
"It is happening everywhere, but is especially strong in the north of England and especially among young Muslims.
"This convoy is material manifestation of it. In barely a month, it has metamorphosed from an aspiration I threw out at the 100,000-strong pro-Palestine demonstration on January 10 to more than 100 vehicles and nearly 300 people from across Britain.
"We will lead the biggest convoy of British vehicles across North Africa since Montgomery."
The vehicles are heading to Ramsgate, Kent, where they will board a ferry to Ostend, Belgium.
After arriving in Ostend the convoy will travel down to Bordeaux in south west France for their first major stop.
Mr Galloway is expected to join up with the convoy frequently throughout the trip.

some one said:Justice including jews.

I SAY THAT VICTIMS ARE PALESTINIANS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES,HOUSES ,FAMILIES AND WERE BOMBARDED BY ZIONISTIC AMERICAN MADE WEAPONS,SO IT'S JUST NOT FAIR AND HYPOCRICY TO TREAT THE KILLERS AND THE MONSTERS AS VICTIMS.

WHEN A THIEF COME TO YOUR HOUSE WITH A GUN?IS THE QUESTION HOW HOW TO TREAT BOTH AS EQUAL?

END THE OCCUPATION . FREE PALESTINE !

What I have said, I have said in good faith. I have challenged my own pre-conceptions many times. Die to the old self and be born in the new. Love conquers all and truth will prevail. God is the beginning and the end and all of man's petty politics will be damned to oblivion. For Ego and pride and racial superiority read Satan. Truth is lived out and borne out in actions. That is where the all powerful and creative act of love abides. Hatred is on the march. Are you for it or against?

...and I was pointing to the rather ludicrous suggestion that you were inferring that Zionists, and presumably you are referring to your average joe Israeli, or most of them will refer to Arabs as dogs which is madness and wholly nonsense. That is not to say that that there are no bigots, thre are, but to generalize you mislead and demonize.soulwam.

[soulwam]

nevskixx , Please refer to the earlier , shallow, hateful, simple minded comments. I am addressing the state of mind that you can see on display there. You have misread my words. I did not make the ludicrous statement that I had spoken to EVERY ZIONIST. Shalom.

[nevskixx]

Soulwam you have been to Israel and spoke to everyone who was a Zionist,and they all called Arabs dogs?

[nevskixx]

Firstly I have not called Arabs dogs or any other name. I support Israel and I support Palestinian self-determination too, so long as this does not entail the dismemberment of Israel. Secondly history has shown that the" wildness" that you soulwam describe has little to do with conditions and much to do with a sustained hatred of Jews that exists not only in Gaza but all over the Middle East and much has to do with terribly corrupt and tyranical leadership.

[soulwam]

I have been to Israel and have heard Zionists say that all Arabs are dogs. Now I love dogs and thank God for the gift of their companionship. If you hate dogs and you beat them into a corner with a stick and then they bite you as you try to kill them, i say good dog, fighting for your life to the end. Another person says 'Look I told you they were dangerous. We have to kill them all!' The other person says this because they have a missing aspect of their humanity.

[HopeInFuture]
