Viva Palestina convoy breaks Gaza siege

Viva Palestina's convoy of nearly 150 vehicles, 370 people from 30 countries and $5 million of aid has entered Gaza.

Press TV reports:

"Amidst scenes of jubilation from thousands of Palestinians there to greet the convoy, Kevin Ovenden, the convoy director, expressed his joy at being in Gaza once again. “We have driven more than 3,000 miles to bring this essential aid and to break this illegal siege of Gaza. We have been joined by supporters from Morocco and Algeria and from the Gulf States and Jordan, to make this the biggest convoy ever to break the siege of Gaza. We are absolutely overjoyed to be here and to bring with us the soil from the graves of those who were massacred on the Mavi Marmara which will be used to plant trees as a memorial to their sacrifice.”

The "Failing Gaza: No rebuilding, no recovery, no more excuses" report says the world "betrayed" Gazans by failing to end the Israeli blockade making reconstruction and recovery impossible.

U.S. suppression and co-opting Christian churches to support the US backed Israeli war crimes has prevented louder public outcry of the Gaza genocide. Some of this is documented in the short video, If  Americans Knew What Israel is Doing!  embedded in Gaza: No human rights, only Nuremberg crimes.

    to think how long this aid been in coming - and to realize the USA - "home of the free,
    land of the brave" has helped to isolate the Gazans and support the Israeli genocide - if that does
    not make us sit up and take notice - i don't know what will. supporting crime is
    as bad as committing it directly. people of good heart cannot support any fraction of
    Zionism (and Zionism has nothing to do with the majority of wonderful Jewish people - please
    understand this distinction).
