Egyptian police beat Gaza peace activists

Egyptian police beat Gaza peace activists

SEVEN protestors were injured as Egyptian plain clothes police turned violent at a Cairo street demonstration organised by peace activists. Nearly a thousand Gaza Freedom Marchers, representing 42 different nationalities, brought the Egyptian capital to a standstill at one point when they sat down on a main road in Tahrir Square. The surprise demonstration took Cairo police by surprise after they blockaded a hotel nearby where nearly 30 of the GFM were staying. Around 700 maintained their sit-in for 20 minutes until police reinforcements arrived to remove the defiant peace activists who were chanting: "We want to march to Gaza." Mick Napier, the chair of the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign said: "The police used excessive force and at one stage several female protestors were punched and kicked. A couple had their hijabs ripped away from their head. "Many of us were taken aback by the naked aggression of the police as this was a non-violent protest. Around 1400 of us arrived in Cairo a few days ago to go to Gaza but a travel ban was imposed and we've been stuck in the capital."

March at Erez [Beit Hanoun] crossing to protest the Gaza siege

March to Erez crossing to protest Gaza blockade | NECN

(NECN/AP Television) - Hundreds of protestors were marching on Thursday morning from both the Gaza and Israel sides towards the Erez crossing on the border between the Palestinian coastal strip and Israel, in a protest at the long-standing blockade imposed on the Gaza strip.

The protest, dubbed by organisers "the freedom march", took place at the same time on both sides of the border. Palestinians and international activists were marching from Jebaliya in northern Gaza strip towards the Palestinian side of the crossing while Israeli activists were marching from a near-by junction to the Israeli side of the crossing.

Protestors on both sides were waving Palestinian flags and calling on the Israeli government to stop the blockade and on the international community to put more pressure on Israel on the issue.

The coastal territory has been under a crippling Israeli blockade since 2006 when Hamas was democratically elected in a 2006 Palestinian parliament vote . Hamas then broke off with the government of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas following months of conflict over power-sharing with the new government.

The group eventually took control of the Gaza Strip in June 2007, leaving Abbas' government in nominal control of the occupied West Bank only. Israel - with Egypt on one border - then tightened the blockade even further on the 1.5 million people living in the 135 square mile poor and narrow enclave of the Gaza Strip.

The blockade,
according to a United Nations report on Palestine refugees, has seriously affected all aspects of Palestinian life, and has prevented Gazans from reconstructing their shattered infrastructure after Israel's fierce three week offensive a year ago.

The offensive left more than 1,400 Palestinians dead, including more than 900 civilians, amongst them scores of children, according to Palestinian officials and human rights groups. It also destroyed thousands of homes and heavily damaged Gaza's infrastructure. Israel claims the death toll was lower and that most of the dead were armed militants.

EXCLUSIVE...Pink Floyd's Roger Waters Speaks Out in Support of GFM March, Blasts Israeli-Egyptian "Siege" of Gaza

EXCLUSIVE...Pink Floyd's Roger Waters Speaks Out in Support of Gaza Freedom March, Blasts Israeli-Egyptian "Siege" of Gaza

In a Democracy Now! exclusive interview, British musician Roger Waters of the iconic rock band Pink Floyd speaks out about the Gaza Freedom March. “I actually would be very interested to hear what the President of the United States has to say about this nonviolent, democratic demonstration of ordinary people from forty-two countries all over the world,” says Waters. “They feel solidarity with their brothers and sisters, other human beings who are living in conditions that none of us would stand for, for a single second, in any of our countries.” [includes rush transcript]

Guest:

Roger Waters, Pink Floyd band member. Recorded by Miguel Nogueira of Multimind inc

AMY GOODMAN: We turn now to the world famous British musician Roger Waters. He’s best known as a founding member, bassist, singer, songwriter for the iconic rock band called Pink Floyd. The band is perhaps best known for their record The Wall.

Well, Roger Waters is also a supporter of the Gaza Freedom March and an outspoken critic of Israel’s separation wall with the West Bank and the underground wall Egypt’s building with Gaza that Ali Abunimah was just talking about.

Democracy Now!’s Miguel Nogueira spoke with Roger Waters this weekend and asked him about Gaza.

ROGER WATERS: We implore the Egyptian government to allow this peaceful, nonviolent protest at the siege of this country to proceed. I have a feeling they will. This again points to the power, or the potential power, of this demonstration. I think the Egyptian government may find that if they deny this due process of the rights of human beings to peacefully protest when they see a crime being committed, then they will find themselves on very dangerous shifting sands and put into a very difficult position themselves. So this again speaks to the fact that the organizing committee of the Freedom March on Gaza have already achieved—even before they start, they’ve achieved, to some extent, their aim, because this is becoming big news around the world, and it will become bigger and bigger news.


And if, as we all hope, they actually make it across the border and they meet with Palestinians, I think it’s hard to imagine what an amazing surge of hope that could engender in the hearts of the Palestinian people who actually meet with them and get to talk to people from the outside, and so on and so forth, and for them to understand that we have not forgotten them.


We saw a year ago, when the Israelis invaded and razed Gaza practically to the ground, although I know what happened there, as well as it is possible, because I pay attention, most of the media in the US and in the UK really played it down. Otherwise, if they hadn’t played it down, it seems impossible that the uprising of shock and horror at what was done to the Palestinians in Gaza a year ago would have entirely demanded that the US government and the UK government take action and impose some kind of sanctions on the Israelis, or something, or at least say something, deplore the action, or do something. What actually happened, of course, is that when the Goldstone report came out, they sort of went, “Oh, well, maybe this guy is a bit strange, and we don’t”—you know? There is a huge and unfathomable tendency to want this problem to go away. And this is too difficult for us to deal with, and it would mean us actually confronting our Israeli allies.


I actually would be very interested to hear what the President of the United States has to say about this nonviolent, democratic demonstration of ordinary people from forty-two countries all over the world marching into a very uncomfortable place because they feel solidarity with their brothers and sisters, other human beings who are living in conditions that none of us would stand for, for a single second, in any of our countries. So I hope Barack Obama will respond to this, and I hope he makes a statement about it. And I hope he will come out and support this march. And I hope he will come out and say, “Listen, this siege of this country is illegal, and we must support—we must support the law. We must support the rights that human beings have under the law.”

AMY GOODMAN: Roger Waters of Pink Floyd.

GFM Protests Continue in Cairo, Organizers Say Egypt Offer to Allow 100 into Gaza Not Sufficient

Gaza Freedom March Protests Continue in Cairo, Organizers Say Egypt Offer to Allow 100 into Gaza Not Sufficient

Hundreds of activists with the Gaza Freedom March are staging continued demonstrations and sit-ins in Cairo to protest the Egyptian government’s refusal to allow them to cross the border into Gaza.

Organizers say an offer by Egyptian authorities this morning to allow just 100 members of the group to go to Gaza was not sufficient. More than 1,300 people from over 40 countries are in Cairo as part of the Gaza Freedom March. They were planning to cross the border last Sunday to commemorate the first anniversary of Israel’s assault on Gaza that killed 1,400 Palestinians and thirteen Israelis. Around 50 to 80 people with the group did take up the deal and boarded a bus to Gaza this morning. Egypt’s border crossing point at Rafah is the only entrance point into the Gaza Strip not controlled by Israel.

Egypt’s Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit had hash words for the marchers saying, “Those who tried to conspire against us, and they are more than a thousand, we will leave them in the street.”

Meanwhile the demonstrations continue. On Tuesday, 40 US citizens marched to the American embassy in downtown Cairo but were quickly met by riot police who cordoned them into smaller groups. Earlier in the day, members of the Gaza Freedom March joined with Egyptian activists in a protest against Israel’s prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s one-day visit to Cairo for talks with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.

We go now to Cairo where we are joined on the telephone by Ali Abunimah, he is the co-founder of Eletronic Intifada and is taking part in the Gaza Freedom March. He is author of “One Country: A Bold Proposal to End the Israeli-Palestinian Impasse.”

"Marche et commémoration pour Gaza dans les rues de Bruxelles.
Solidarité avec le peuple palestinien.
Soutien à la résistance du peuple palestinien.
DIMANCHE 27 DECEMBRE 2009

La 'Gaza Freedom March', coalition internationale initiée aux Etats-Unis et visant à réunir des milliers de volontaires pour dire NON AU BLOCUS DE GAZA, est désormais lancée ! De tous les pays, des femmes et des hommes sinscrivent pour participer à cette très belle aventure, qui les amènera à célébrer le changement dannée en montrant attachement aux droits de lHomme et au droit international.

Lopération débutera le 27 décembre 2009, un an jour pour jour après le début des bombardements israéliens à la sortie des écoles de la bande de Gaza.

Dans le cadre dune action citoyenne et pacifique, nous organisons une marche symbolique et une veillée de commémoration à Bruxelles, pour :
- La levée du blocus de Gaza;
- Larrêt de la politique sioniste de colonisation et doccupation de la Palestine;

- La libération de tous les prisonniers palestiniens;
- Le soutien à la campagne « Boycott Désinvestissement et Sanctions ».

Le départ de la Marche se fera au croisement de lavenue de Stalingrad et du boulevard du Midi (statue mégaphone) à 13h30, et nous achèverons cette marche sur la Place de lAlbertine vers 15h30.

N'oubliez pas Gaza !!!!

Le 27 décembre 2008, lentité sioniste lançait un déluge de feu contre la bande de Gaza afin de briser lesprit de résistance du peuple palestinien. Après vingt-deux jours de bombardements par ciel, terre et mer, le sinistre bilan des criminels sionistes se chiffrait à plus de 1.350 morts et 5.450 blessés.

Pourtant, déjouant les funestes desseins des stratèges de «Tel-Aviv», lesprit de résistance du peuple palestinien ne sest pas consumé sous le feu des hélicoptères Apache et des avions F-16. Au contraire, lagression sioniste a renforcé la résistance du peuple palestinien malgré le blocus imposé à la bande Gaza depuis juin 2007.

Les massacres de lhiver 2008-2009 ne peuvent pas être séparés de la politique menée par les sionistes contre le peuple palestinien depuis plus de 60 ans. En 1948, pour pouvoir créer lentité usurpatrice, les colonisateurs sionistes ont expulsé 900.000 Palestiniens de leurs terres et de leurs demeures. Ils ont également détruit 531 villages et 300 hameaux pour empêcher le retour des Palestiniens et entériner leur politique de purification ethnique.

Depuis plus de soixante ans, lentité coloniales sioniste na jamais cessé de commettre crimes et massacres à lencontre du peuple palestinien et arabe, en vue de le chasser de ses terres et dy implanter létat colonial sioniste dans une Palestine débarrassée de sa population. Cette guerre a commencé et se poursuit toujours avec le soutien indéfectible des puissances occidentales.

Dans le même temps, les classes dirigeantes de certains pays arabes collaborateurs, semploient à détruire ou à instrumentaliser la cause palestinienne et à soutenir lentité usurpatrice. Le soutien actif au blocus de Gaza de la part de lEgypte, de lArabie Saoudite, de la Jordanie et des pays du Golfe, a révélé le degré de trahison régnant chez les laquais de lOccident dans la région. Les crimes, qui ont été commis à Gaza, sont en grande partie dus à la complicité active des régimes arabes réactionnaires.

approximately 50 soldiers on foot abducted Hamouda Imad Yassin (16) and
Ibrahim Khalil Yassin (16). After searching their homes they were taken to
an unknown destination. It has only been one month since Hamouda and
Khalil were released from prison where they had been held for five months.
This is the latest in a series of raids and arrests that have continued in
Bil'in for the last six months. Just as they try to stop the march on
Gaza, they also try to stop the weekly demonstrations in Bilin."

Palestinian Journalist Remembers Israel's Assault on Gaza

Palestinian Journalist Remembers Israel's Assault on Gaza:

"One year ago this weekend, Israel began its 22-day assault on the Gaza strip. Dubbed “Operation Cast Lead,” 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis were killed in what was Israel’s deadliest attack on Palestinians. We look back on Operation Cast Lead with Palestinian journalist Sami Abu Salem who was in Gaza during the assault."

One year ago this weekend Israel began its 22-day assault on the Gaza strip. Dubbed “Operation Cast Lead,” 1,400 Palestinians and 13 Israelis were killed in what was Israel’s deadliest attack on Palestinians. As protests were held around the world to mark the first anniversary of the assault, the Egyptian government is blocking solidarity activists from entering Gaza to take part in the Gaza Freedom March.

On Sunday Egyptian security forces detained two groups of international activists who were preparing to join the march. Meanwhile Egyptian authorities have also held up a humanitarian aid convoy led by British lawmaker George Galloway.

As we look back on Operation Cast Lead, we turn to Palestinian journalist Sami Abu Salem who was in Gaza during the assault. With the borders sealed, international journalists could not enter Gaza and the world relied on the work of Palestinian journalists like Sami and Al Jazeera, the only international network that was already in Gaza before the military operation began. Democracy Now! producer Anjali Kamat traveled to Gaza in March of this year. She met Sami Abu Salem at his home in Jabalia refugee camp. He recalled the first day of the bombings, which began with coordinated airstrikes by 60 war planes across the Gaza strip, killing over 300 people, including 238 police officers, in a single day.

One year after Israel's war on Gaza, Al Jazeera talks to the UN special rapporteur on Palestine and asks him about his views on that war, the impact of the Obama presidency and the future of the peace process."

Gaza: The War of Words - 28 Dec 09

Gaza: The War of Words - 28 Dec 09 - Part 1:

"A year on from Israel's offensive in Gaza, another battle is still being played out. The war of words between Israel and opponents of last year's war continues, with the latest flare up centred on the UN's Goldstone report. But while everyone is busy apportioning blame, there is little chance of developments to the peace process and hopes for justice are fading. Gaza: The War of Words explores the various claims and counter-claims against Israel and Hamas that have been made in the past year and looks at the international community's rol in that war of words."

Note: the original video was removed and Al Jazeera produced the following ones instead

Gaza's war of words - 28 December 2009 - part 1

A year has passed since Israel's 22 day war on Gaza, but the war of words continues.

Both sides have sophisticated media strategies, and as the message is ever more muddied, distilling the truth becomes yet more difficult.

Al-Jazeera looks at how the War of words between Israel and Hamas is waged.

Locked in: Life in Gaza - 25 Dec 09 - Part 1:

I believe Aljazeera published this before, but I'm reposting it in case they deleted the old one.

"Munzer al-Dayyeh is a mechanic living in Gaza. In a land of ruin and disrepair, Munzer is kept busy fixing generators and repairing motorbikes. In June 2007, Israel placed Gaza under siege and imposed an unprecedented blockade on nearly all movement and supplies in and out of the Gaza Strip. Munzer is a traditional man from a conservative society where inter-marriage is common. In Munzer's case, inter-breeding has brought hereditary problems most of his children are either visually impaired or physically handicapped. But, Munzer can not find any way to get his children out of Gaza to get medical treatment. This film offers an insight into an everyday man struggling to make a living and to find a solution for his family in the unique difficulties of the Gaza Strip."

The stated goal of the action was to stop rocket attacks from the strip into southern Israel. There has been a dramatic decrease over the previous year, but Palestinian factions claim this is a result of the ceasefire, rather than decreased ability.

As Al Jazeera's Ayman Mohyeldin reports from Gaza, factions remain adamant that their capabilities have only improved."
