CONVOY VIVAPALESTINA
support the Palestinian struggle is a struggle in defense of all the peoples of oppression. It 's a struggle for human dignity
A convoy of trucks loaded with medicine and school started on September 18 from London to travel to Gaza following a path through France,' Italy and Greece ...
Yesterday, 16 October VivaPalestina5 the convoy had completed all the steps to prepare for boarding on the freighter greek which was to take place this morning starting at 9. Completed
, for free, full dibenzina for all vehicles, located vehicles in running order, cleared the field that hosted us, delivered all the passports to facilitate the operations of the border, provide the supplies of food and Cheil water as the carrier is not a passenger ferry and offers no opportunity to eat, the evening was provided for a final meeting and farewell party with the community to the Palestinian refugee camp and with the Syrian community that welcomed us and generously hosted for 15 days.
But, to dampen the enthusiasm, came suddenly countermanded: le autorità egiziane hanno di nuovo bloccato l’operazione di ingresso con una nuova e vessatoria richiesta:
17 degli attivisti considerati persone non gradite, non possono entrare in Egitto.
Richiesta immotivata e ricattatoria che subito la direzione del convoglio ha dichiarato inaccettabile riservandosi di adottare oggi, con l’arrivo a Lattakya di George Galloway, tutte le contromisure per rispondere a questa ulteriore pretesa egiziana.
Non si conoscono i nomi dei 17 “indesiderati”, ma è evidente ormai che dietro a questa ennesima richiesta c’è l’intervento di Israele.
Israele vuole interrompere questa crescente catena di iniziative (convogli e flottiglie) crisis that is putting in the siege and boycott adopted against the population of the Gaza Strip.
The Egyptian government lends itself to this dirty game trying to wear down the resistance and compactness of participants in the convoy, delegations from over 30 countries, 380 activists with 145 vehicles full of humanitarian aid.
Take into account that the convoy, in talks in Damascus had already carried out, with a great sense of responsibility, accepted very heavy conditions, in particular the abandonment of the convoy's leader, George Galloway to enter Agazio.
But not only that. She had accepted the Egyptian-Israeli claim to exclude the transfer of the cargo of cement in Gaza, this weapon di distruzione di massa che avrebbe permesso di ricostruire quelle case e quelle infrastrutture distrutte dall’esercito israeliano nell’operazione “piombo fuso”.
Era stata pazientemente accettata la condizione di riclassificare tutti gli aiuti e di caricarli su pallet per facilitare eventuali operazioni di controllo.
Tutto questo non è bastato, e non sono bastati 15 giorni di sequestro e di blocco del convoglio a Lattakya, con disagi immaginabili per i 380 attivisti, ma anche con un peso notevole per le autorità siriane che ci ospitano, fornendo cibo e bevande a tutto il convoglio.
Ora questa ulteriore e odiosa condizione. Non conosciamo i nomi della lista di proscrizione;
the direction of the train has avoided for now to make it public to avoid creating further tensions and not to play Egyptian.
But it is likely that you want to decapitate the head of the convoy and, as required in the request, a referral to court and block it permanently, this and the possible future convoys.
The Egyptians broke with this move and already rejected an agreement signed in Damascus and were responsible for an inevitable escalation of the confrontation.
The response of the convoy, as peace can only be very hard.
E 'shameful and intolerable that we impede the arrival of humanitarian aid to a population like that of the Gaza Strip so sorely tried by a siege that has lasted since 2006.
But it is also intolerable that Egypt would prevent the exercise of a fundamental rights that international conventions guarantee to all citizens, free movement of people across all borders of all countries in the world.
But the Egyptian is reckless operation. Because a large part of its economy is based directly on the free movement of all those citizens, many are the Italians, who visit Egypt every year and its most famous and popular tourist and localitàarcheologiche.
tourists, activists, right? The Egyptian government is exerting in this insane and dangerous challenge against a convoy of activists and citizens around the world must then be very careful. The Italian delegation, in these times of tension and confrontation, and reiterates its determination to resist this discriminatory action, calls on the Italian movement of solidarity with Palestinian resistance to show his protest outside the embassy and the Egyptian legations, working on the Italian Foreign Ministry to take charge of a strong protest against the Egyptian government, but also to prepare to put in place, nothing happens if the situation quickly, a boycott against the flow of tourists from Italy to Egypt . At the end of the evening there
time for a new exhibition, much applauded, the Italian team who sang Hello Beautiful, which was preceded on the initiative of a Jordanian activists from reading the text in Arabic and English.
A further demonstration of the strong spirit of humanity that characterizes the convoy. updating at 15 Sunday, October 17
visit to the camp at noon in the second of the representative of Hamas, welcomed with great enthusiasm. Then press-conference with the presence of George Galloway, a highly anticipated speech after the new claim by the Egyptian government to exclude from the arrival in Egypt and Gaza to 17 activists.
With his extraordinary ability to communicate Galloway browse the list of proscribed, showing that the reasons given by the Egyptian authorities are sometimes cruel, absurd and in other cases in other cases it is cruel nonsense.
Cruel exclusion of two Turkish activists, relatives of victims of Mavi Marmara, intending to bring in Gaza, a land destined to collect on the graves and plant flowers and olive trees in Gaza.
Absurd exclusion of a young British activist, Amena Saleem, identified as the wife of Galloway (soloperché his name is similar to that of the former British leader's wife), cruel and absurd with the exception of Sheikh Ismail Nashwan, a anzianodi 83, erroneously stated to have nazionalità turca (e che nell’apprendere la notizia non trattiene le lacrime) L’intelligence egiziana, sottolinea Galloway, non ci fa certo una buona figura,rimarcando in ogni caso che la responsabilità di questa irricevibile lista diproscrizione è del Presidente Hosni Mubarak che deve avere “cattiviconsigleri”.
Conclusione: domani il convoglio, con tutti gli attivisti, partirà per El Arish; le autorità egiziane avranno tutto il tempo a disposizione per riflettere,prendere atto della assurdità ed inconsistenza di questa ennesima richiesta dilatoria e prendere atto degli errori commessi.
Si annuncia un attracco a El Arish alquanto movimentato.
