‘Al-Jazeera’ Uses Blockade Running Boats to Describe Gaza’s Shocking Conditions

Here's a great youtube of an Al-Jazeera report on Gaza, which the anchor describes as an "open-air prison," pegged to the international-volunteer boats that just got into Gaza with humanitarian supplies. You
can see the sewage the Palestinian kids have to walk thru, you can see

pretty too. You can see an Israeli aide Ranaan Gissin talking about the Palestinian
"reign of terror" that justifies Israel's measures.

Then there's an argument between Arraf  and Gissin.
"Why don't you sit down and talk with your enemy?" Arraf says. Gissin

shouldn't be on the boat. I know she must have been horribly
disappointed. She's been looking forward to it and last time here got
our [Kansas City] group to contribute." Arraf says there were two Israeli Jews on the boats…
