OV Newsflash (1/7/2010): The Gaza Siege Is Broken

But that's a drop in the bucket....
Gaza continues to be under siege. Although I understand and am well aware of the position of the Israeli Government, what is clear is that the people of Gaza have not been getting the supplies. Even school textbooks are on the list of banned material that the Israelis do not allow in. But the Viva Palestina Convoy did get through. It got through after quite a struggle though.
What I found disturbing was how the Egyptians blocked the Viva Palestina Convey. The fact that one person died was one person too many. The convoy has finally made its way to Gaza. Aid is being distributed. What I hope will happen is the Palestinians will reconcile and figure out how to responsibly govern themselves going forward. The wild card continues to be the Israelis. The Israelis are continuing their settlement building and have continued their disregard of the wishes of the International Community in general and the Obama Adminstration in particular.
One Convoy got through. But, as George Galloway noted it is only a drop in the bucket.
