German Jews join the international effort to break the blockade!

Yesterday we mentioned the Turkish effort to break the blockade. Last week we mentioned Congressman Brian Baird calling for the Berlin airlift. Well here’s more, this is calling on humanity, sister: German Jews. What goes around comes around. My heart is lifting. "Jewish ship to Gaza." All aboard:

We are a group of German Jews who want to send a ship with goods and musical instruments to Gaza. We intend to cooperate with a European project that is sending supplies in the spring of 2010. We are acquiring a ship, loading it up in Germany, then picking up passengers (Jewish and non-Jewish, German and non-German) at a Mediterranean port.

Among the goods being shipped will be urgently needed things like medicines, baby food, bedding, children’s clothes, school materials; also painting equipment and especially musical instruments. We believe cement is not the only thing necessary for rebuilding – we call on our politicians to provide these urgently needed building materials! – but also things to help cure the soul.

We hope our musical instruments will contribute a little towards this. Our schools can also make a very significant contribution: Children in Gaza are prevented from studying through lack of materials. This is why we are looking for schools to donate school material. Later perhaps we can work on twinning schools or classes.

    Babble translation of German to English–I think you can get the drift:

    Jew for peace – ships after Gaza We are a group of German Jews, the goods of the everyday need, as well as music instruments after Gaza to bring want. We follow with this project of a European initiative, which wants to send 2010 ships in the spring to Gaza. For this purpose we want to acquire a ship, which will load German and Jewish passengers (not only from Germany) in Germany with goods and in a Mediterranean port on board takes. To the goods urgently needed materials will belong, like medicines, baby food, laundry, child clothing and learning material. Also mark implements and music instruments will also be thereby. We are the opinion that to the reconstruction cement does not only belong, – for the import of urgently needed building material we appeal to our politicians! – to the reconstruction also cure for the soul belongs. Our music instruments are to help to contribute to it. Our schools can make a completely important contribution. Children in Gaza are prevented from learning, because school material is missing to them. Therefore we look for schools, which want to take part in our action with donations (for example filled Schulranzen). Later partnership with schools grades not impossible.

    Looks like it isn’t just Israel’s siege of Palestine that is being recognized and eroded — their siege on Jewish identity might be coming to an end as well.

    Why hasn’t someone questioned the authenticity of these so-called German-Jews? My sense is that they were probably collaborators with the Nazi regime, or are at least pathologically self-hating types. There can’t be any other explanation.

    This brought tears to my eyes. Good for them. It’s very touching and I wish them all the best.
