More inspiration. A three-week-long, mile-long convoy of trucks and vans from Britain has entered Gaza with relief goods, clothes, food, you name it. Where governments have dithered and failed to act, this populist solidarity movement succeeded. From Viva Palestina's website on the end of the journey in Gaza a day back:
Along the way, thousands of Palestinians, the other heroes
of this beautiful story of resistance, defiance and hope approached
every vehicle kissing, touching, hugging the bravest of Britain.
They handed their babies, their young children, to the convoy
members so that they could be embraced, as if the angels were
in town. Drenched in flowers, tears were flowing on both sides.

On the video at Paul Woodward's site, you will see Irish soccer boys embracing Arabs in robes. At Viva Palestina's site, you will find various pro-Islamic and pro-Hamas statements. Do we care? No. Relieve the suffering now. Talk to Hamas.
