Let My People Go (It Took Two Months to Get 7 Tons of Relief Supplies to Gaza)

by Philip Weiss on February 20, 2008 · 3 comments

After weeks of negotiation and frustration and blockade, peace groups two days ago were able to bring 7 tons of relief supplies from Israel into crippled Gaza. Do you understand this? Israel is in crisis. Uri Avnery explains:

“Under conditions of the strangling siege of Gaza, the simple act of transporting a few tons of cargo some dozens of kilometres required two months of intensive effort by dozens of people in Israel and the Gaza Strip, with considerable help from peace  seekers all over the world. This siege should be terminated forthwith. It is a manifestly immoral, gross violation of International Law which causes Israel nothing but damage."

"This [Gaza] siege should be terminated forthwith. It is a manifestly immoral, gross violation of International Law which causes Israel nothing but damage."

We need to send these poor citizens of Palestine some Holocaust Industry Star of David Tee Shirts. Can't have a death camp without them can you?

When Phil Weiss says "my people" to whom exactly is he referring? I really would like to know.
