The Dignity has left Cyprus & should arrive in Gaza tomorrow around 10am (local). Watch here for updates and check the website, www.freegaza.org as well. Israel has declared Gaza a ‘closed military zone’, making sure no one can witness the atrocities. Our boat is going to challenge that closure.
The health system in Gaza is in a state of collapse – A medical supplies store was bombarded today – Referrals to medical care outside the Gaza strip are suspended
It is directly because of ‘journalism’ like Bowen’s that we have no understanding of our Palestinian brothers and sisters’ situation, where, according to Bowen resistance to Israeli slaughter comes not from a proud people defending what’s left of their homeland but from religious fanatics.
Even if you set aside the magnitude of Israel’s violations of the Geneva conventions and the long terrible history of its methodical collective punishment of 1.5 million Palestinians in Gaza, consider the vastly disproportionate carnage in the conflict.
As of this writing 284 Palestinians have been murdered, over 700 injured (many in critical condition); most are innocent civilians living in the most densely populated area in the world—Gaza. This is the highest one day total of dead and injured by Israel’s terrorism since its founding in 1948.

More than two-hundred, maybe three-hundred people have died in Gaza under the shelling of Israeli military jets. Hundreds are injured. This Sunday, the killing activities have continued. The wall between Gaza and Egypt has now been torn down by Gazans, according to international Human Rights observers witnessing and documenting the Israeli attacks on Gaza.
