| Aid convoy sets off for Gaza,Israel`s navy will have its work cut out | | Al Jazeera -
"
The biggest attempt by international aid groups to break the Israeli siege on the Gaza Strip has gotten underway..."We are trying to send a message to everybody that the situation in Gaza will not go on," Sawalha said...From Israel`s perspective though, it is understandable why it shouldn`t allow this humanitarian convoy reach Gaza. Doing so could dramatically change the status quo. For starters, it severely questions Israel`s continued and illegal occupation of the Gaza Strip, bringing to light that whilst Israeli troops may have left Gaza, they still control the territory`s, air, land and sea entry points - all but suffocating the coastal territory."

| Alert: Tent of Nations Receives Demolition Orders | | Rabbi Brant Rosen -
Blog
"I visited Daoud and the Tent of Nations in March, and Brant is wrong. The sign at the gate does not say “We will not be enemies”; it says “We REFUSE to be enemies”. Not only must we help stop this cynical order for demolitions, we must find where orders like this are coming from. If more Americans learn that this kind of treatment of those sincerely working for justice and peace takes place routinely in Israel, we will finally summon the will to say, “enough, no more”."
