viva palestina

"It was my pleasure to give the little donation to Vivapalestina. I greatly admire George Galloway, M.P., and all the wonderful people who help this very deserving cause. I watched with horror the Israeli attack on Gaza and how the so called "civilised" world watched this attack by the Israeli army, navy and airforce on a defenseless people: and done nothing to stop it (and they call themselves civilised?). Nightly I saw the bodies of men, women and very young children and babies taken by ambulance to hospital but they were beyond all human help -truly shocking. I could go on and on. I will donate again from time to time." - Patrick

"Good luck with the convoy. My thoughts are with you! " - Louise

"Good luck" - Christian Friends of Palestine

" this little donation is the least I can do. And I hope it will be a help in the progress of breaking the siege of Gaza. And we will always support you, just keep on the good work, and I hope one day I will be there with you physically to help my people in Gaza." - Mirna

" Good luck & God bless you! I think that it very important that you get through into Gaza. " - Brian

" Viva Palestina, jazakum Allah khair" - JG

"I am donating on behalf of Another Jewish Voice, Santa Fe, a group of Palestinian rights activists in Santa Fe, New Mexico USA. Happy New Year, best luck on your trip, thank you for all you're doing, and Free Palestine! " - Lou

Oxford Friends of Gaza salutes the Convoy. May God, Allah, be with you! May we all meet in Gaza someday soon!”

I would like to express my full support for the Viva Palestina convoy which leaves in December. The ongoing siege of Gaza is a crime against humanity, as was the Israeli attack last year. British support for the relief efforts is a contribution to the solution of a human problem. I wish the convoy all success.
Tony Benn (human rights campaigner and former Labour MP)

We welcome the Viva Palestina convoy and its initiative that will bring assistance to Gaza that is so desperately needed. We call on Israel to lift the siege and allow the people of Gaza to be able to get on with rebuilding their homes, schools, hospitals and lives.
Corin Redgrave and Kika Markham (actors)

Best of luck to the convoy and its important work. The world must not be allowed to forget last year's horrific massacre of the innocents in Gaza, and anything which continues to put pressure on Israel and helps relieve the continuing suffering of the Palestinians of Gaza should be supported
William Dalrymple (author)

I warmly congratulate those with the determination and courage to take this convoy to Gaza. It is a disgrace that such a trip is needed. The ongoing blockade, ignored by so many who ought to speak out, is a scandal. The war on Gaza is not over-- it continues every day in the suffering still imposed on those who live in Gaza. There will be no peace in the Middle East until there is justice for its Palestinian people.
Bruce Kent (Vice-President, Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament)

Gaza is truly under siege and the people are suffering dreadfully. Israel is tightening its grip, supported by the USA, the EU and disgracefully, our own country. We must help the people of Gaza in every way we can.
Baroness Jenny Tonge

The Israeli aggression and barbarity against the Palestinians in Gaza must end. Good luck to all of those involved in breaking the siege.
Mark Thomas (comedian and political activist)

I would like to lend my full support to the convoy. It is imperative to get aid to Gaza and to stand together as a nation to force an end this inhumane siege.
Maxine Peake (actor)

I would like to express my strong support for this convoy and the essential relief that it will bring. Following the criminal assault a year ago, Israel has deliberately created in Gaza a ghetto of deprivation and misery. This convoy will do something to alleviate physical suffering but it will also do much to mobilise the international conscience. I wish you every good fortune.
Bob Marshall-Andrews MP (Labour, Medway)

Below are the messages of support from the many people donating online to the convoy and others who have written in. We have had donations from over thirty countries as far afield as Canada, China and South Africa, from Norway and Cyprus to Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Thank you for all your generous support.

Just a suggestion, you may already know, but when driving you guys should encourage the muslim group members to play Surah Baqrah in the cars because it wards off all evils, and the shayateen and etc. This will just help your journey go smoother, because it is the Shaytaan that tries to bring up these blockages, and problems to make you all disheartened and tries to weaken your faith.

I know the initial part of the journey has been a big test for them all, but at the end, the wonderful gifts that they are going to be giving to our human relatives in Palestine will be worth every penny, every drop of petrol, every drop of sleepless nights, every drop of cold and all that goes with this enourmous collaboration.
