El Movimiento Free Gaza va a volver a desafiar el bloqueo ilegal de la franja de Gaza y el castigo colectivo de su población civil por parte de Israel con la flota Hope (que significa Esperanza), una flotilla de barcos de pasajeros y de carga que espera alzar sus velas en dirección a Gaza a fines de mayo de 2009. En verano, les seguirá un grupo de ‘viajeros por la libertad', una iniciativa inspirada en el espíritu del movimiento por los derechos civiles en los Estados Unidos y sus acciones de ‘freedom rides', viajes en autobús con que los activistas retaban el régimen de segregación en los transportes públicos. Nos dirigimos a todos vosotros, amigos y simpatizantes, para que nos ayudéis a conseguir que esta idea se haga realidad.

Nuestro pequeño pero comprometido grupo ya ha culminado con éxito cinco viajes a Gaza, con los que se han hecho llegar a la zona a trabajadores de los derechos humanos y suministros humanitarios, se ha garantizado la salida a estudiantes y enfermos palestinos, y se ha ayudado a aliviar el terrible aislamiento de Gaza del resto del mundo. Estamos convencidos de que, con la indignación generalizada que han despertado las masacres de Israel en Gaza, podemos enviar una flotilla de embarcaciones para romper el asedio y trasladar un mensaje de esperanza y solidaridad internacional al pueblo palestino.

Las políticas israelíes de racismo y limpieza étnica y la brutal ocupación militar de Palestina exigen una resistencia resuelta y directa por nuestra parte. Cuando nuestros Gobiernos no actúan, nosotros y nosotras –ciudadanos del mundo– debemos alzarnos y hacer oír nuestras voces. El artículo 13 de la Declaración Universal de los Derechos Humanos garantiza a todas las personas el derecho a vivir en su propio país y a volver a él; un derecho que Israel niega sistemáticamente a los palestinos.

Estamos buscando embarcaciones que deseen sumarse a la flotilla Hope y navegar hacia Gaza a fines de mayo, así como a personas con un perfil mediático –como diputados y personajes famosos– que deseen unirse a nosotros y exigir que Gaza deje de ser una prisión al aire libre. El Movimiento Free Gaza seguirá desafiando las brutales políticas de Israel. Volveremos a Gaza otra vez, y otra, y aún otra más; seguiremos volviendo a Gaza hasta que el asedio israelí se rompa y los habitantes de Gaza tengan acceso al resto del mundo.

Las personas interesadas en sumarse a la acción o darle apoyo, pueden escribir un correo electrónico a: Iristulip[en]gmail.com. Ya estamos empezando a recopilar nombres e información para este viaje histórico. Con vuestra ayuda, conseguiremos que la flota Hope sea una realidad.


Dear friends,

As part of our Summer of Hope campaign, the Free Gaza Movement was planning to make 3 boat voyages to Gaza this summer, one in June, one in July and one in August. On our July and August voyages we had planned to take into Gaza all of the books that you have sent us as part of our Right to Read campaign (see below for update).

Due to Israel's hijacking of our boat, the Spirit of Humanity last month, we have had to change our plans. No, we are not backing down. Now, more than ever, we believe it's critical to continue these missions, and demonstrate the power of the international civilian community to stand up to cruelty, human rights abuses, and oppression. If we let Israel's attack on our last mission stop us, we will be giving in to the violence that is perpetrated 100-fold against the occupied Palestinian people. The risks that we take by getting on these boats are nothing compared to the existential threats that Palestinians face every day of their lives. But to make this next voyage happen, we need your help urgently! We need to raise a substantial sum of money and engage in considerable outreach over the next few weeks in order to be able to send the next mission before the weather changes and the Mediterranean Sea starts becoming unpredictable.

On 30 June the Israeli navy boarded the Free Gaza boat Spirit of Humanity when it was approaching Palestinian waters quite opposite the Gaza Strip. The boat was towed to the Israeli port Ashdod where the 21 persons on board were arrested. It was only after almost a week had passed that they were released and deported to their respective home countries

It was the eighth attempt that the Free Gaza organization made in order to break the blockade on the Palestinian Gaza Strip, where a majority of the people are dependent on aid organizations for their survival. The borders are closed. The inhabitants cannot set off for leaving the Strip and Israel only allows in the most necessary for not dwindling away.
