END THE GAZA BLOCKADE
The human catastrophe of Gaza continues unabated. Israel cuts off the overpopulated area it has continually devastated from the outside world, and needed food, medical supplies, and other necessities are not able to get in. Do we hear at all about this? nope. Do we care? I should hope so. Well a group of people who picked up the slack for the rest of us have done something about it. They have travelled by boat from Cyprus to Gaza and have enterred Gaza with the intention of breaking the blockade. Although the aid they are delivering now is nominal (hundreds of hearing aids and balloons) as compared to the crisis and need, it is a step and a powerful one. God Bless them and any who try to help those who are oppressed.

Also, if you feel underinformed (or misinformed as it may be by the media) about the Palestinian crisis, I would highly recommend you check out the award winning Occupation 101. This wonderful dvd highlights the every day lives and history of the conflict. You can see it at
