A SCOTTISH woman is joining hundreds of international human rights observers on an international convoy carrying 5500 tons of humanitarian aid to challenge the ongoing Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip.
“For everyone’s safety and to ensure that aid reaches those who need it, the FFC will be bringing hundreds of international humanitarian observers from many countries and different backgrounds,” a statement said. “The people of the campaign I’m in – Glasgow Palestine Human Rights Campaign – are also very supportive, along with all the other Palestine groups.
“The fact they gave me a lifetime ban purely for running a Palestinian stall – a humanitarian stall, a human rights campaign – is disgusting.”“Recently ships have not been getting in. It’s now a case of we’re not turning back, we’re going. Whether they come on board and take over the ship, we have no idea.”
“I was devastated at the brutality and asked the Israeli forces why they shot children. Their answer was ‘They are terrorists’. I told him to look at the parents holding their dead children in their arms. I told him I believed they were 5 and 6 years old. Again, he shrugged his shoulders and said, ‘they would have grown up to be terrorists’ and smiled. I never made it to Iraq.
