Rendezvous Gaza! Support the Free Gaza HOPE FLEET and help SHATTER the Israeli Siege!
DEAR FRIENDS: The Free Gaza Movement will again challenge Israel's illegal closure of the Gaza Strip and collective punishment of its civilian population by sailing the HOPE FLEET, a flotilla of passenger and cargo ships, to Gaza at the end of May 2009 - to be followed by freedom riders this summer. We are turning to you, our friends & supporters, to help make Hope come alive. Our small yet committed group has already made five successful voyages to Gaza, delivering needed human rights workers & humanitarian supplies, taking out Palestinian students and medical patients, and helping to lessen Gaza's terrible isolation from the world. We are confident that with the universal outrage over Israel’s massacres in Gaza we will be able to send a flotilla of ships to shatter the siege and deliver a message of international hope and solidarity to the people of Palestine. March 30th, 2009 marks the BDS (Boycott/Divestment/Sanctions) Global Day of Action against Israeli violence [1]. Responsible BDS actions were used to end apartheid in South Africa. Today, Israeli policies of racism, ethnic cleansing and the brutal military occupation of Palestine demand equally determined & direct action to overcome them. When our governments fail to act, we - the citizens of the world - must stand up and make our voices heard.
Article 13 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights grants all people the right to leave and return to their own country - a right that Israel summarily denies Palestinians. We are looking for ships wishing to join the Hope Fleet and sail to Gaza in late May, and we are looking for high-profile people, including parliamentarians and celebrities, who want to join us and demand that a besieged Gaza cannot forever remain an open-air prison with no access to the world. ....... List of Passengers thus far — www.freegaza.org/en/boat-trips/passengers Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney speaks about the Free Gaza boat, on which she was a passenger, being rammed by the Israeli navy. She also refers to U.S.S. Liberty, attacked and sunk by Israel in 1967 with the loss of 34 American lives — [url=http://www.google.com/search?q=USS+LIBERTY[/]google search for USS LIBERTY
[/url][/i] .......[/center] The Free Gaza Movement will continue to challenge Israel's brutal policies. We will go to Gaza again, and again, and again, until the Israeli siege is broken and the people of Gaza have access to the rest of the world. If you are interested in joining or supporting this action, please email Iristulip@gmail.com. We will begin collecting names and information as we ready for this historic voyage. With your help, we will make the HOPE FLEET a reality. For more information, please visit our website: www.FreeGaza.org[/b] ....... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cm0ANuw5u6MThe Free Gaza Movement is a human rights group that in August 2008 sent the first international boats to land in the port of Gaza in 41 years. We want to break the siege of Gaza. We want to raise international awareness about the prison-like closure of the Gaza Strip and pressure the international community to review its sanctions policy and end its support for continued Israeli occupation.

This post is with regards to those who choose to attack Dan and Marcia: It's important to take the higher road here...Challenging, but doable. Let's stick to the facts: - We don't know these people (background, motives, mental health, etc.) - No matter how negative a spin they may be placing on things, they have chosen to do so just as we have chosen not to. There's many ways to arrive to a conclusion, some are positive and some negative. - They may or may not be frustrated with their path to seek the truth or maybe they are having trouble accepting the truth? It's difficult to speculate as there could be numerous reasons, but it is best for us not to label these people. (Labeling people is akin to casting stones and most know the saying, let he/she who is without sin cast the first stone...). They too, are spiritual beings having the human experience. You're only as good as what you produce. Let us show compassion by letting the facts speak for themselves. For those watching the negative comments: Please find the facts to support the truth and post them. No more and no less is needed. They, along with more positively oriented truth seekers will see what they choose to see, but everyone has the right to their own opinion...Just as they have the right to change it or not. We all grow at different rates. By posting the truth, we'll be supporting their growth or potential for growth by sticking to the facts. Take care everyone and keep up with the great posts! AL

~*29*~ Lao Tzu's Tao Te ChingDo you want to improve the world? I don't think it can be done.
The world is sacred. It can't be improved. If you tamper with it, you'll ruin it. If you treat it like an object, you'll lose it.
There is a time for being ahead, a time for being behind; a time for being in motion, a time for being at rest; a time for being vigorous, a time for being exhausted; a time for being safe, a time for being in danger.
The Master sees things as they are, without trying to control them. She lets them go their own way, and resides at the center of the circle.THAT WAS HILARIOUS!!!!! I watched it a long time ago when you first put it up and I just have to throw it out there again thank you very much!

Hope for Gaza ConvoyAn Invitationwww.savegaza.eu/European Campaign to End the Siege of GazaHope for GazaIt’s now three years since Israel imposed this tight and deadly siege on Gaza. The brutal siege is devastating every aspect of life in Gaza. Thousands of families continue to suffer, while many others are dying due to the lack of basic treatment and medical equipment. The basic infrastructure supplying water, power and sanitation is in devastation making life unbearable for the 1.5 million inhabitants, which further compounds the misery of the people. The war totally destroyed what was left from the siege. Thousands were killed and injured and thousands turned disabled. It's the time we move; European Campaign to End the Siege of Gaza, (ECESG) is sending a big convoy of more than 100 trucks. We are going to deliver wheelchairs, medical tools and toys for the people of Gaza. We are going to provide medicines that currently ran out in Gaza. The convoy is to move early in May from many European countries like Britain, France, Ireland, Scotland, Denmark, Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, Spain, Germany, Italy, Austria and Norway. Yes You Can! Let actions speak louder than wordsLet us save more lives; let us cure the pain of wounded Gazans IF you have a van, a bus or any vehicle and you want to go to Gaza; there is no better time but this! Seize the opportunity and Join us. The convoy is expected to leave Milan directly after the end of the 7th conference of Palestinians living in Europe. A considerable number of activists, officials from Europe and MPs would take part. Participants wishing to join will drive their vans from their countries to Milan. Vans and trucks to leave Milan on the 3rd of May and sail from Genoa towards Alexandria in Egypt. Drivers will leave for Alexandria directly to drive their vans towards Gaza within 3 days of ships departure. The convoy would leave for Rafah crossing from Alexandria. In coordination phase, vans must be checked to make sure they are correctly prepared for movement from Egypt.

Hi Everyone .. I just watched this movie and thought it would be of interest to post the synopsis and link here .. ;D It's called What the Bleep do we Know ? www.watch-movies-links.net/movies/what_the_bleep_do_we_know/If this link doesn't work you can find it in installments at GOOGLE VIDEO What the Bleep Do We Know!? From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_the_Bleep_Do_We_Know!%3F What the Bleep Do We Know!?is a 2004 film which combines documentary-style interviews, computer-animated graphics, and a narrative that posits a spiritual connection between quantum physics and consciousness. The plot follows the story of a deaf female photographer; as she encounters emotional and existential obstacles in her life, she comes to consider the idea that individual and group consciousness can influence the material world. Her experiences are offered by the filmmakers as an illustration of the movie's thesis about quantum physics and consciousness. Synopsis Filmed in Portland, Oregon, What the Bleep Do We Know blends a fictional story line, documentary-style discussion, and computer animation to present a viewpoint of the physical universe and human life within it, with connections to neuroscience and quantum physics. Some ideas discussed in the film are: * The universe is best seen as constructed from thought (or ideas) rather than from substance. * "Empty space" is not empty. * Matter is not solid. Nuclei pop in and out of existence and it is unknown where they disappear to. * Beliefs about who one is and what is real form oneself and one's realities. * Peptides manufactured in the brain can cause a bodily reaction to an emotion. In the narrative segments of the movie, Marlee Matlin portrays Amanda, a deaf photographer who acts as the viewer's avatar as she experiences her life from startlingly new and different perspectives. In the documentary segments of the film, interviewees discuss the roots and meaning of Amanda's experiences. The comments focus primarily on a single theme: We create our own reality. The director, William Arntz, has described What the Bleep as a movie for the "metaphysical left".[10] The Institute of Noetic Sciences, a New Age research organization that "explores phenomena that do not necessarily fit conventional scientific models", has supported What the Bleep Do We Know!? and published a study guide.[13] In the film, during a discussion of the influence of experience on perception, Candace Pert notes a story, which she says she believes is true, of Native Americans being unable to see Columbus's ships because they were outside their experience. According to an article in Fortean Times by David Hambling, the origins of this story likely involved the voyages of Captain James Cook, not Columbus, and an account related by historian Robert Hughes which said Cook's ships were "...complex and unfamiliar as to defy the natives' understanding". Hambling says it is likely that both the Hughes account and the story told by Pert were exaggerations of the records left by Captain Cook and the botanist Joseph Banks. Historians believe the Native Americans likely saw the ships but ignored them as posing no immediate danger. Best Wishes Nodstar*
