BREAKING NEWS: GEORGE GALLOWAY AND VIETNAM VETERAN RON KOVIC ORGANIZING CONVOY WITH AID TO GAZA

Comment: This is great news! a U.S. Convoy to help the people of Gaza who are literaly starving slowing, due to the Israeli Siege. This by itself is a War Crime. The Israelis only allow two and half trucks a day to a population of 1.5 million people who live in one of the most densly populatated areas in the world. The Gaza strip is 2.5 miles wide and 5 miles long. Thank you George Galloway and Ron Kovic! The convoy will start on 4 of July, on Ron Kovics Birthday, what a great day to start the Convoy! Ron Kovic is best known as the author of the memoir Born on the Fourth of July, which was made into an Academy Award–winning movie directed by Oliver Stone, with Tom Cruise playing .

Viva Palestina US: ‘We aim for $10 million in aid and 500 vehicles for Gaza’, say George Galloway and Ron Kovic

Fresh from the success of the Viva Palestina aid convoy which took over 100 vehicles to Gaza from Britain, George Galloway MP has linked up on his US tour with the Vietnam veteran and peace campaigner Ron Kovic to launch a similar, but bigger venture from the States.

Galloway announced the initiative at a 1000-strong meeting in Anaheim, South California, rounding off a packed-out, coast to coast speaking tour highlighting the Palestinian cause.

“There’s a new atmosphere in the US over Palestine,” says Galloway, “the phenomenal response to this tour demonstrates that.”

Ron Kovic, whose story was immortalised in Oliver Stone’s Born on the Fourth of July, will be the co-leader of the convoy, which will form up in Egypt and make its way to the Rafah crossing and into Gaza.

Organisers are aiming for 500 vehicles and $10 million of aid.

“And what better day to head off,” says Galloway, “Than July 4 – Independence Day!”
