Canadian
civil society has a responsibility to fight the illegal Israeli
blockade of Gaza and to expose the Canadian government's unjustified
support for Israel.
The time has come to send a Canadian boat to challenge the blockade of Gaza, in coordination with similar international efforts.
We need to raise $300,000 (cost of boat and crew, not including aid to
carry to Gaza) over the course of the coming couple of months. We need
to approach Canadian public figures to be on the boat.
The blockade of Gaza goes two ways, it restricts bringing materials into
Gaza and it does not allow anything to leave Gaza either. This, in
addition to starving the population, denies the Palestinians of Gaza the
ability to trade with the world, further suffocating them.
The Canadian boat, working with the Palestinians in Gaza, will aim to
carry exports out of Gaza. Thus asserting their right to export, trade
and provide for themselves rather than be at the mercy of international
aid.
together we'll break the siege
