Here are just some of the emails we have received at the website. We are so proud of our convoy members, supporters and of everyone who never gave up hope. Viva, Viva Palestina!

My name is Nizar and am writing this email from far abroad(Muscat) to you. Though I couldn't come, I eagerly follow up each of your emails and happenings. Don't forget to make videos of the beautiful moment and post it on youtube. This is the only way we come to know about your programs.

Convey my Salam to all members(specially for Sister Yvonne & Brother George Galloway) for their outstanding work. May Almighty Allah reward all of you here and in the hereafter.Ameen......

Finally, sorry for wasting your precious time. Fee Amanillahi. Regards, Nizar

Dear All at VIVA PALESTINA,
The ones who visited us at Al-Amal Orphans, and the ones who didn’t have a chance to. You are truly heroes. Your visit not only inspired and re-energized us, it also encouraged people of all the countries that you passed through to keep going the support of the victims and to continue refusal of injustice. With the determination you have ,you succeeded to open borders that were closed for twenty years, you succeeded to show the world that “when there is a will there is a way”. If every one of you wanted to make this trip on his own no one would have succeeded to do it. Only people working together can accomplish missions.

The kids and us were very glad to have you at Al-Amal institute for orphans. Although, it was a very short visit, and we had many things to show you, but it was nice of you to have special time for us in your very busy schedule.

Please find attached a copy of our profile, as to our visitors’ request. Thank you again and best regards, Muneeb T. Abu-Ghazaleh, Secretary of the board, Al-Amal institution for Orphans

Merci à vous tous ! Thank you ! Merci à tous ceux qui ont fait ce voyage extraordinaire et merci à tous ceux qui sont restés pour nous informer au jour le jour. Nous voulions rejoindre le convoi en Egypte, les bagages étaient faits, les places d'avion réservées mais nous n'avons pas pu partir au dernier moment pour une histoire de visa multiples entrées. Une déception immense de ne pas avoir eu l'occasion (unique ?) de serrer nos amis dans nos bras mais une joie indicible à l'entrée de la caravane dans Gaza ! Vive Gaza Vive la Palestine !!!!!!!!!! - Sylviane et Gerold

Thank you,thank you,for all the wonderful,up to date news you have sent about this journey.Our hearts go out to the people of Gaza and all the amazing souls on the convoy. Will Mr Galloway's colleagues in the House of Commons ever have the ability and decency to learn from him.
God Bless and protect all of you.- Mabel Sumner

I wish to thank and congratulate George Galloway for the energy and persistence with which he has dedicated himself to the gigantic task of breaking the criminal siege of Gaza. It is deeply shaming that the western media have chosen to downplay this event, which has colossal practical and symbolic weight - but probably this is why they downplay it. Eventually the moral courage and sincerity of the many will overcome the cynicism and opportunism of the few who "lead" us. George Galloway will have played his part in bringing this to pass.
Viva Palestina! - Raymond Deane, Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Dublin

Many, many thanks for all that you have done in keeping everyone in touch with every detail of the fantastic Convoy. What an epic journey. Needless to say everyone involved has my complete admiration.

Sometimes when watching the news one feels helpless to make a difference. Viva Palestine has changed this. It was very brave of you to go to Gaza. I won't overburden your mailbox as I can see you must have been snowed under with messages coming to you in the last few weeks but just wanted to thank you for everything including all your brilliant photographs. I have just put in an order for the Album, good luck with all your work. With warmest Respect, Terry.

Imagine there's no blockade
It's easy if you try
No Israel below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all of Gaza
Living for today...

Imagine there's no F 16’s
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no terror too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And Palestine will be as one

Imagine no destruction
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And Palestine will live as one.

Thanks and apologies to John Lennon

Dear All:
I would like to thank you all one by one for this historical movement, yes we made the history here at the holy land of Palestine. Thanks for every one who lefts his/her Family , live,job and every thing behind to achieve our goal and we did it. For me it was my honour to be a small part of this convoy for a short distance from Al Areesh to Rafah crossing border. But the Egyptian authorities didn't allow us (Nadeen Al Qaddoumi and me) to enter Gaza because we are Non-UK Citizens. We are Arab Jordanian

Zainab: A special thanks for your continuous help and support 24 hours a day, it was my pleasure to see you in alareesh finally.

Dear Honorable Mr. George Galloway,
No word can describe my feelings for what you and all the convoy did, you are my father and you are our hero for us as a Palestinian. It was my honour to see and meet you in Alareesh , if you remember us we are the two from Jordan.
You are in our hearts and minds now and always
Regards, Iyad AL-Jaberi

Dear Honourable Mr. George Galloway,

I would like to extend my most sincere congratulations and gratitude for accomplishing the incredible mission of "A Lifeline from Britain to Gaza". The unprecedented determination, wisdom, perseverance, integrity, strong ethics, incredible courage that you and the team exhibited throughout this long and challenging journey, that extended across three continents, are highly appreciated and greatly valued by all of us, Palestinians and Muslims in particular,and the whole World in general.

I welcome you as a Palestinian brother of mine...I think Mother Palestine is weeping today with joy not sadness, for having such a son, a hero, that along the many, many long years of suffering, refused to forget.... Refused to forget the horrifying suffering, the tremendous pain, the inhumane genocide...Her rape and torture in every way possible...And he kept on going and going...Until justice and defeat of the siege prevailed. Sir, this is not just a victory for Mother Palestine....but rather a victory for all of humanity indeed.

I salute you my friend, for all what you did and continue to do for my people...We cherish you and admire you.... You are in our hearts and minds now and always.

Best regards, Dalal Alhusseini Muhtadi
(Cousin of the late Faisal Alhusseini)

Please please convey my warmest thanks to all who have undertaken this astounding and momentous journey to deliver emergency aid to a devastated people in the massacred region of Gaza. May Allah bless each and every single one of you and especially those who were unable to get through the border to Gaza- after having travelled so far it must have been a test of their spirits.

I pray God accepts your good deeds and sends his mercy and bounties upon the long suffering people of Palestine. Thank you all for your immense and brave efforts. Thank you for your persevering spirits and thank you for overcoming your nafz and remaining united in this great, noble and charitable mission. More unified and concerted efforts like this in future projects is what will defeat the dark and unjust forces on this Earth. Ameen.
VIVA PALESTINA!! - sister Nayar. xx

From the other end of the world, the most southern tip of Africa, sunny South Africa, I have been with you emotionally on your long, arduous and heroic mission, through the daily e mail updates. On your arrival In Gaza, your tears were my tears, your struggle was my struggle, but your heroism on this trip, was yours alone.

Such courage, bravery and humanity in the face of disdain opposition of governments and media alike, saw the human spirit triumph yet again in the face of such adversity. Each one of the convoy members are remarkable human beings and I salute you all, and to George Galloway, you are a True Man amongst men.
Regards and congratulations to a job well done. - Yusuf.

"WELL DONE to all of you. You were all terrific!" - Jane Jewell, California

Hi. Indeed, you are real angels! Eveyone will be proud of you. You performed what others maybe wished to do but could not. You resolved to undertake a mission that doesn't seem easy at all, yet you managed to make of it a success in spite of all that you suffered.

Real angels are born to serve humanity, relieve suffering, and offer some joy and this is exactly what you did. Real angels are endowed with such hearts, such generosity, and such resolution as you possess. Real angels can never be forgotten. - Faty, Morocco

Many thanks to George Galloway for organising and leading this envoy. Without George's courage and commitment this would have been very hard to pull off. Jazakallah. Never have I admired a non-muslim more so than yourself. You are the real hero and legend. - Rgds, H. Rashid

Dear everyone..
Congratulations and well done to you all! It was a fantastic feat and I am sure along with myself, all your supporters wished that they could have been there to share the great day!Brilliant!!!
Love and best wishes - Theresa.

Al hamdu lillah !!!! Love you all from South America, Paraguay. - Jazak Allah Jairan

I would like to thank all the people who organized the convoy for your bravery. You have made it clear that human kindness knows no boundaries. - Jim Pascual Agustin

This has inspired others to make similar convoys or at least to make donations. The World of compassionate human beings thanks you! - Myna

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

Just a short email Thanking all the Brother and Sisters that devoted they precious time and effort to assist the people of Gaza.May our Creator award you accordingly.Ameen

May Our Creator accepted their efforts and make it a means of uniting the UMMAH.Our duass remain with the people of Gaza and the effort of the volunteers. ALLAH KNOWS BEST

Congratulations on your determination to break the siege. We extend our greetings and solidarity to you, the children and people of Gaza. Yours in solidarity. - Maura Mc Crory Chairperson Palestine's Child Charity, Belfast

ALLAH WE AKBAR , Mr. Galloway made history and he keep his promise he is the man of the century God bless and be with him and with the whole convoy. Love you all. - Haya Al Nashashibi

I just wanted to say how moved I am by your continuing regular updates on the momentous Viva Palestina convoy. Here in West Cornwall there seems little I can do beyond donating which I've already done twice. But, I do wonder. I constantly highlight the convoy and all related sources of information on my Stumbleupon page. Amongst the workers behind the convoy movement, do you have an experienced publicist? You probably do, but I'm just wondering. I'm appalled at the lack of news coverage.
Please let me know if there is anything further that I can do. Best wishes,
Mary

I've been glued to Press TV for the last few days, saw it all happen, and still can't believe it. Well done all of you!
The only regret is that I can't actually be there, and you must feel the same. But none of it would have been possible without the dedication and devotion of you people in the background. Thank you.

I just hope that the Egyptian authorities will keep their word concerning the various vehicules and their contents which are destined to go the other route. Judging by the Saudi, Qatari, and other aid Yvonne saw held up in the Al Arish stadium, it seems that it may not all make its way to Gaza. Another big THANK YOU to you all. You brought a little "light" to the "darkness" that is Gaza. Putting smiles on the faces of children who have so little to smile about and bringing tears to the eyes of grown men, a real reward for all the efforts and sacrifice.

The UK needs a thousand George Galloways. Keep up the good work, keep trying to get Gaza back on the front page where it should be.

Thank goodness for Press TV and Aljazeera. It is ironic that my sisters in the UK where the convoy originated, have been relying on my descriptions of the TV coverage from Doha and Tehran via Tunis!! Shame on the BBC, ITV, and Sky and all the rest, ignoring all these real British heros.
VIVA PALESTINA - Jane, Tunisia

Allahu Akbar - God is Great. I have been waiting with baited breath for this email refreshing my browser, and clicking the inbox button waiting for news of survival and victory. I am overwhelmed with joy, I am very emotional. I am so proud of all the brave men and women who endured the elements, who broke the barriers and now stand victorious,
having built the story that, will be told for years to come.

Words cannot express the euphoria that fills me now. So Proud. So Proud. Viva Palestina. - Parveen

I too am overwhelmed by your achievement; you are the true ambassadors of human kind. Against the odds and with underwhelming support of the “free press” you have achieved what some thought impossible. Competition is a curse, co-operation can move mountains.THANK YOU ALL.. Sincerely. Roger Peach. (Greece)

Congratulations to all of the members of the convoy for their determination which has now paid off in this historic moment. I have read your updates with tears in my eyes and today I am again crying when I read of their reception in Gaza. How I wish I was there also to serve those most deserving people.

This historic day should be shown on BBC but alas we know it will not even get a mention just as the poor people of Gaza no longer get mentioned but we will remember them, they are always in our hearts. God Bless them all. - Kathy

Congratulations ,to everyone and well done to the British people once again proving that hearts are open to love and giving love to all those in need. We are a very active grpoup of women (with supporting men) please look at our website if there is anything more we can assist you with then please let us know. Jean Andrew (co founder) www.womenopposingwar.org

I was born in a refugee camp in Germany after World War II. My father was a prisoner of war in Nazi Germany from 1941 to 1945. When the war ended, much of the infrastructure was destroyed. Food and supplies were scarce. There was a housing shortage due to the bombing raids by the allies. My parents and I lived in a single room in a barrack. I remember waiting in lines with my mother for food and milk. We would have starved to death if it weren't for America's Marshall Plan that provided food, clothing, blankets and supplies to the refugees.

I live in the US now. I have never forgotten my beginnings as a refugee. My experience has taught me humility and empathy.

It hurts my heart to watch the world turn their backs on the Palestinians; to turn their backs on civilians that have been besieged and attacked by Israeli imperialists. These people have been hammered for 60 years. Hamas is no threat to Israel. How can home made rockets compare to sophisticated weaponry valued at billions of dollars that Israel receives from the United States?

I applaud all of you for your courage and love of humanity. Thank you for helping the Palestinians! May you have a safe journey back home. I pray that God will be with you. Olga

Thank you all for bearing witness with such a magnificent effort - John Mason, Mary McNabb, The Netherlands

May allah swt bless you all . each and everyone one of you are good people , i can only imagine your emotions on arrival in Gaza, i know my tears of happiness were flowing freely. i hope the coming days are good for you in order to achieve your mission . i salute you all - Samina Khan

If ever an event merited the writing of great poetry, it would be the historic convoy to Gaza.

My immediate and instinctive response? To cry. I weep for them, but my tears are of joy that the impossible was made possible. Who says we can't make a difference? These are ordinary men and women, only they are better than I am, because they gave up their jobs to make a dream become a reality, they risked being marginalised to follow their hearts and they risked life and limb to make an historic journey across inhospitable terrain and 'forbidden' lands. They were motivated by love and for all the love I possess in my heart, I feel barren by comparison and humbled by their courage and indefatigability.

I salute them all, every one of them. Whereas I talk the talk, they walked the walk and I feel reduced to almost nothing. Viva Palestina. Best wishes from your humble servant, Richard

Bravo.Thanks - Linda Papaforti

Dear Clive and Farid, I would like to congratulate all of you who have been successful in breaking the seige in Gaza. I have been following your efforts from day one and was also overcome with emotion when I saw the news report of you guys finally getting into Gaza. Geogre Galloway, Yvonne Ridley and every single one who has been involved in this historic journey have been a great source of inspiration to me. You are all hero's of Great Britian and a credit to humanity. - Kind Regards, Imran

I just want to say a million thanks to each and everyone at viva palestina for breaking the seige.i pray to God to protect all;yous and your families and may yourll continue to do the good work.this is peoples power at its best.it has shamed many of our arab/muslim gov with alltheir oil,money and military. - Iafulat, South Africa

Dear all, It was really the happiest message I got in this early part of the year 2009, which started so dramatically with tousends of bombs thrown by Israel to the defensless people of Gaza, in order to annihilate the palestinian people. Egypt was a hard bone on the way to Gaza. Mubarak is the big criminal associate to the israeli planned genocide. As the VIVA PALESTINA warmhearted and in solidarity broke the siege yesterday, it was a TRIUMPH OF THE HEARTS OF PEOPLES OVER THE BESTIALITY OF THE ISRAELI TERROR!!!

VIVA PALESTINA has shown that ordinary people can break the strongest siege kept by the most aggressive government in the region in complicity with an slavish arab governor to Zionist commands.

Let us repeat as often as possible this experience of solidarity for the suffering Palestinian people slaughtered since 60 years! Let us triumph over the israeli barbarism and make it tremling by our hearts.
Thank you - Frigga

I have been watching this journey since it started off as well as blogging on it. I am in awe of what you have all accomplished. Some of us can only write and spread the word. And we are in awe of those of you who are doing such wondrous feats. You set an example that borders can, and will, be crossed. On of the first 'hold your breath moments' in Morocco/Algeria was passed. The men held in the UK were cleared and released, and then the rough roads afterward until you reached the Rafah border. There was a reason for the delays. Maybe it was so you could all enter on the day of birth of Rasulallah. It adds a special tone to the accomplishment that you entered the holy land on this day. The political games were all hit with walls that only Allah could have created. Nothing stopped you! Now for the rest of the world to stand up and do the same!

Much love to all the Viva Palestina people and to the people of Palestine. Although we're not standing there with you, we are with you. We're ALL Palestinian! And we are made stronger by your strength.

May Allah bless each of you with copious rewards, high places in Jannah and ease in this life and the next. Ameen - Dee Saville, Michigan, USA

Congratulations to all who defied the odds and touched the lives of the people of Gaza. - Khalil

Every act of aggression should be met by an act of peace. So with the aggression shown by the Egyptians, comes another donation from me for the peace convoy that is, Viva Palastina. Well done for making it into Gaza. - Mark, Ilford.

Thank you for bringing us such amazing news. It's a colossal achievement of great significance and I send my heartfelt congratulations to George, to the organisers, the fund-raisers, the givers, the communicators and above all, the men and women of the convoy who carried not only vital supplies, but the love and compassion of millions of British people. Viva Palestina indeed! Best regards - Richard

"Absolutely amazing! Very Very well done to all involved – I am unbelievably happy that the convoy got through and would like you to pass on my thanks to all those brave people who did it." - Michele de Broglio

As a palestinian never in my wildest dreams did I ever expect anyone to cross into Palestine, I cannot begin to explain what this journey mean to all Palestinians around the world. Love to all - Carol and family

To all concerned, I cannot express how proud I am of all of you and how immense this task is, I'm shaking reading your email and have been moved to tears of sheer joy and a overwhelming admiration at your courage and resilience. You truly have my sincerest thanks for undertaking such an incredible mission. From my heart, I salute all of you. You are amazing! - Kind regards, Derek Hayward

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, I have tears in my eyes!
I love you, - Frigga

Beautiful, beautiful news. Rejoice! - Lee

The Palestine Solidarity Campaign salutes the courage and tenacity of all the participants in the Viva Palestina Convoy which has broken the blockade of Gaza at the Egyptian controlled Rafah crossing.

Betty Hunter, General Secretary of Palestine Solidarity Campaign said: “This is a historic event which should shame both the British and the Egyptian governments for their complicity in the collective punishment of the Palestinian people of Gaza. It is yet another example of the growing support here in Britain for justice for the Palestinians despite our government’s cowardly acquiescence in the relentless Israeli propaganda which justifies its war crimes and illegal occupation.” - PSC

I'm so proud of you guys! I was born in England in 1935 and lived in London through the Blitz so know what it's like first hand to be a child walking through bomb damage to school. I was deeply affected by the Gaza bombing and had flash-backs to when I was small. I found it all so very shocking. I repeat I am so very proud of you all.
I am incandescent with anger about the news blackout. Most of all by the BBC which seems to be a Government propaganda machine. I live in Farnham, Surrey and my MP is Jeremy Hunt, who is Shadow Secretary for Sport, Media and Culture, and I will be contacting him to provide me, as a constituent, with answers. Rest assured, I will hold his feet to the fire! Bless you all! Much love, - Patricia

Assalamu-aliakum-wa Rahmatullah
I watched every second of the convoy entering GAZA through the Rafah crossing. I was so happy I thought my heart would jump out and do a highland fling
Instead I cried, did 2 rakat and made du'a. I thanked our Allmighty Allah S.W.T for His mercy on this blessed day. May Allah S.W.T. accept our charity. I am so happy and very proud to be muslim and British. Thank you all. - Elizabeth

Farid, This must have been a truly emotional moment. Thank for putting it into such beautiful words for us all to share a piece of the emotion. Thank you to all of you for conveying what so many of us feel. Thank you. - A supporter, New York
