For many months international, Palestinian and Israeli activists planned the Gaza Freedom March. Organizers hoped an international delegation of 1300 or more activists from around the world would break the siege by crossing into Gaza from the Egyptian side through Rafah, marching through Gaza to the northern border and through the Erez crossing, joining the delegation on the Israeli side of the border. The Real News attended the protest at Erez, and though the Egyptian government prevented the 1300 activists from entering Gaza, hundreds gathered to raise awareness of the desperate situation in Gaza a year after Operation Cast Lead. ICAHD director Jeff Halper is interviewed by The Real News.
