George Galloway salutes Freedom flotilla!

George Galloway salutes Freedom flotilla!

George Galloway founder of the worldwide Viva Palestina movement and  leader of three land convoys which broke the siege on Gaza today  hailed the heroic sea-borne aid effort steaming towards Gaza.

Speaking from Miami Florida where he is in the middle of a twelve city speaking tour of the US on Palestine Galloway hailed the Turkish humanitarian organisation IHH which has organised and leads the flotilla as "heroes" who are facing the hardships of the seas and the  threats of violence from Gaza's beseigers the Apartheid state of Israel.

 

Galloway called on all people and governments of goodwill to insist on safe passage for the hundreds of humanitarians on board the ships and  the unmolested delivery of the vital aid supplies on board.

Promising on behalf of Viva Palestina Arabia a second sea convoy later in the year - again in partnership with IHH - Galloway thanked the government of Turkey and it's incomparable prime minister Erdogan for showing the world the way to peacefully confront the international  crime being committed against the people of Palestine.
