Real News: Gaza Freedom March in Israel

ICAHD-USA — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 18:23:05 +0000

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.

ICAHD-USA endorses the Gaza Freedom March

ICAHD-USA — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 04:00:15 +0000

The International Coalition to End the Illegal Siege of Gaza formed after Israel’s 22-day assault on Gaza in winter 2008-09.

To mark the one year anniversary of the Israeli attack the coalition is mobilizing an international contingent for a nonviolent march alongside the people of Gaza on January 1, 2010 in order to end the illegal blockade.

The coalition conceives this march as part of a broader strategy to end the Israeli occupation by targeting nonviolently its flagrant violations of international law from the house demolitions and settlements to the curfews and torture.
