"Viva Palestina" Aid Convoy Heads to Gaza on September 18
Local Editor
Former British MP and author George Galloway pointed out in an article published in the British daily newspaper "the Morning Star" that the "Viva Palestina" convoy will be taking off to the besieged Gaza Strip on September 18.
"It will leave in three co-ordinated legs to deliver aid to Gaza from London, Casablanca (Morocco) and Doha (Qatar). It aims to sustain the momentum to lift the siege on Gaza, now condemned by the EU, UN, many governments and every major international aid agency," Galloway said in his article.
Former MP praised British Prime Minister David Cameron's speech in Turkey where the latter regarded Gaza as a "prison camp".
Galloway considered Cameron's speech an indication of how isolated "Israel" has become in its illegal siege on the people of Gaza.
"The point for all friends of Palestine is surely this - we are at a moment when pressure can be brought to bear as never before to frustrate "Israel's" moves to crush the Palestinians," he added, pointing out, "So the Viva Palestina convoy heading off on September 18 comes at a crucial point."
Furthermore, Galloway considered, "The direct challenge to this criminal policy is also generating a far wider base of support for isolating "Israel" in the way that apartheid South Africa was isolated."
He indicated, "There will be further initiatives this autumn, building on the work done by established campaigns, trade unions, churches, mosques and others."
Viva Palestina, is a "global lifeline to Gaza", founded by British MP George Galloway, and had already succeeded, after loads of "Israeli" assaults, in entering Gaza earlier in January, delivering some few aids to the Gazans.
