George Galloway Aid-to-Gaza Convoy on Hunger Strike in Egypt
2009-12-29
From AP via Haaretz
More than 400 members of an international aid convoy to Gaza declared a hunger strike on Sunday to protest Egypt's refusal to allow them entry into the Hamas-ruled territory via the Red Sea.

Alice Howard, a spokeswoman for British-based Viva Palestina, said the group was consuming only liquids, as it remained stranded in the Red Sea port of Aqaba.

Led by British MP George Galloway, they had hoped to enter Gaza on Sunday, the first anniversary of Israel's offensive against Hamas in the coastal strip, Operation Cast lead.

Egypt refused to let the group enter through the Red Sea. It says they should use a Mediterranean route closer to the Gaza border.
where they could use a tunnel

#8  Clearly poor Mr. CraiheRa45's school in Los Angeles neglected to teach him the basics of writing, like the first word of a sentence begins with a capital letter, and the sentence ends with either a period, a question mark or an exclamation point. On the rhetoric side, each repetition of a one-word insult reduces its impact by suggesting the writer has an exceedingly limited vocabulary, and an intelligence level to match. This was, of course, confirmed by the vicious inanity of the gentleman's post. I suggest he be sent back to repeat second grade, after which we can address his remaining learning deficiencies.

#4  Galloway could go on Biggest Loser with Al Sharpton.

Unfair to Rev. Sharpton who, for all his myriad faults, actually has one or two scruples left (like NOT pretending to be a cat or wearing a red leotard on national TV).

#2  Give it a few more days. The Egyptians arent going to let them in. And they are just cooking out there in the lack of breeze and its getting late. Its only a matter of time and the pharmaceuticals are baking in the truck.

Give 'em enough cheap beer to hang themselves.

Enjoy it while it lasts. It cant get any better than the Global thingy Farce in Copenhagen.That was hard to top. Pink spandex and kumbaya, y'all.

Go Galloway. And when you wake up in the morning it will all be just like it was a little ways down the road from Crawford, Texas.

yeah.

#1  Alice Howard, a spokeswoman for British-based Viva Palestina, said the group was consuming only liquids, as it remained stranded in the Red Sea port of Aqaba.

In the Red Sea port of Eilat, bar owners were reporting a brisk sale of ice, blenders, techno cd's, Georgian red wines, Long Island Ice Tea ingredients, protein Power Shake ingredients, soy milk and fresh fruit.

Meanwhile, Aqaba authorities are pressuring the Viva Palestina to lower the noise level after 3 a.m., as it's keeping their goats from producing milk.
