The ‘Audacity of Hope’ Ship Sails from New York to Gaza in Human Rights Mission
Farrakhan Dogan, 19-year-old American killed by Israel
- Will there be another Massacre in the Mediterranean; does Israel dare? -
By Greta Berlin at witnessgaza.com
They said it couldn’t be done, that Americans couldn’t raise money fast enough to buy a boat to join Freedom Flotilla 2 in the fall. But never underestimate American determination in the face of Israeli intransigence and brutality. The launch of the US Boat to Gaza began last night in New York, and Free Gaza was there to participate.
Listen to Col. Ann Wright’s eloquent speech at witnessgaza.com.
And this is just a beginning, as witnessgaza.com gets ready to go live for events across the US and across Europe.
“The Audacity of Hope” is more than just a book title. It is a call to everyone who believes in justice for Palestine… that there is hope, that civil society will do what governments refuse to do, that we will sail again and again until Palestinians gain the human and civil rights that have been denied to them for 62 years.
WE SAIL UNTIL PALESTINE IS FREE.

Most excellent! Safe travels…
You can be SURE that Mossad has at least one “plant” on board.
I’m beyond being STUNNED with the Horrific nature and egregious impunity with which
Our Ruling Zionist Occupiers Slaughter, Steal, Lie, Betray, and now COMPLETELY control our Government and Major Media.
The Internet and its ability to Expose these Naziesque Miscreants is Ours to use while we can.
How long did it take them to “Buy” “The News” with the advent of T.V.
You can be sure that our time to Read Information like this and Exchange CAMERA-free Facts is limited.
I fear for the compassionate, decent and courageous Jews and Israeli’s that are “breaking Tribal Ranks” IF a parallel to the Crassly Exploited, Multi-Ethnic Cleansing backlash occurs in the U.S.
The 30% of Congress that is Jewish has proven itself to be Strident Right Wing Zionists while the % of Jews serving in OUR military is about two-tenths of one percent and very unlikely to be among the Zionist ilk; certainly not my reciprocal parachute checker in Jump School……Robert Cohen, where ever you are.
Many thanks and Best Wishes to Robert and ALL my fellow Vets & current G.I.s (future Vets)
We Veterans are the one “Club” you can’t buy your way into
God speed and keep you from harm!
Amen!
On July 21, The Washington Post reported that Professor Rashid Khalidi (Columbia University), whose past friendship with Senator Barack Obama had irked the Jewish Lobby during the 2008 election – along with other peace activists in the US Boat to Gaza movement, is trying to raise $370,000 for the 1.5 million Gaza people (how could AIPAC allow such anti-Semitic activities in the ‘Jewish State of America’?). Not onlt that – Professor Khalidi even plans to name the vessel, which this group is planning to use to send humanitarian goods to Gaza – after Obama’s best-selling book The Audacity of Hope. The said move has really pissed-off some of pro-Israel groups who have asked the Justic Department to probe the academic for his possible material support (F16s, heicopters, gunships, mini nukes, etc.) to “a terrorist group”. So far there is no comment from the White House. I suspect, Obama maybe consulting Benjamin Netanyahu on this national security issue.
Across the border, Israel’s most trusted government of Stephen Harper had been approached by some ‘anti-Semitic’ individuals who are planning to raise $300,000 to send a Canadian vessel to join the Free Gaza Movement coming adventure to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza residents, who were crazy enough to elect an anti-Zionist Islamist group Hamas in 2006. Canadian Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon (extremely allergic to Ahmadinejad’s policy towards Israel) has advised the group to make sure they follow the rules set up by Israel for getting supplies to Gaza. In other words, the Israeli rules are more ‘sacred’ and should not be challeged – but the Canadians are quite free to break the Biblical commandments.
In response, the Canadian Boat Gaza has come up with a novel idea. Instead of taking aid material to Gaza, it might help Gazzan to export some goods to boost their economy.
The Zionist entity still refuses to return the seven vessels of Free Gaza which it hijacked recently by force at the international waters and the ‘Spirit of Humanity’ it hijacked in June 2009.
The video below shows how British MP George Galloway blasted some of Zionist Hasbara (propaganda) lies about Palestine.

This is truely a courageous and brave move. Good luck to all those on board. We must continue to send flotillas, until the Gaza Seige is lifted, until the people of Palestine are freed from the evil zionists. The young jewish woman whose eye was destroyed will be on board. You can see a clip of her interview with Amy Goodman on Democracy Now….last thrusday’s program.
How stupid can you people be???
Don’t you understand and see that you’re just playing the same old jewish hating role, just like old times, just like the many thousands of years of our history.
It’s always been like that for us, the world has always hated us and tried to destroy us.
It’s our destiny, and it’s also yours.
This is it, the time has come, the end of days is upon us (actually the later days in hebrew)
Your world will collapse in an instance.
Europe will burn in volcanic flames.
The US dollar will burn as it becomes worthless.
The islamic world will burn by the wrath of god and the flames of his people.
brace yourself
it’s gonna be a bumpy ride
Put aside your tribal mentality and demonstrate your allegiance to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob rather than to the Talmudic abomination that betrays “the lesser brethren” as it does the “goyim” with its Luciferian aims of destruction and self-aggrandizement and self-enrichment under the duplicitous guise of being the defenders of Judaism.
Maybe then you might wake up from the false beliefs of collective victimhood propagated by the real victimizers, the Sabbatean apostates at the head of Global finance and in control of the US, Israeli and many other governments.
You are being played for a fool and you will discover that you and those you love, Jew and Gentile, are nothing more than grist for the mill of their elite ideological agenda.
