The Palestinian-International Campaign to end the Siege on Gaza was conceived by Dr. Eyad El-Sarraj of the Gaza Community Mental Health Programme as a six-month effort to break the Siege of Gaza, beginning with an international symposium in Gaza in November, 2007 and culminating with the voyages of the Free Gaza Movement in May/June, 2008. The aim of this nonviolent campaign is to put international pressure on the Israeli government to abide by humanitarian law.
Call for Action: End Gaza Siege Campaign
9 November 2007, for contact: end.gaza.siege@gmail.com
Dear All,
At the outset, we wish to convey our gratitude and appreciation for those of
you who expressed interest and support to our campaign: End the Siege-The
Palestinian International Campaign to End the Siege on Gaza.
We believe that without your support, our efforts will have less fruitful
outcomes than wished for. We have been thinking about the type of activities
through which our international supporters and friends could get involved.
1- writing support letters/messages
We are currently developing our website www.end-gaza-siege.ps. One of the
issues the website will include is "Messages from the World", where letters
or messages of support sent from all over the world would be posted on the
website. We welcome your contributions.
2- Organizing activities is another way to show that Gaza's voice has been
heard, and people are actually responding to the call of help. Organizing
conferences/marches/ workshops/galleries/even concerts, to be dedicated to
send a clear message to the leaders of the world's politics that it is time
to end the Siege and save Gaza from becoming a city of death. Do you think
this could possibly be arranged in your area?
3- Meeting the Israeli representatives at your area, to convey the message
that the siege on Gaza must end.
We welcome your ideas and contributions, and please if you wish to take the
role of a focal point for events in your area, please let us know.
Best Regards
Rania Kharma
