Stopping the Flotilla, for now, does not stop the work of peace, the struggle for justice, the humanitarian surge which is coming from the people of the world. It does not stop the hope or the love for the life of the Palestinian People that can overcome the worst of human crimes. It does not stop.

Guilt

Genocide:

“I don’t like the G word”
“That’s just your opinion”

Because to admit
to the impunity
and collusion
and arming
and profiteering
will indeed bring
Court hearings
aplenty,
in time.

Guilty.
The G word that will
bring justice.
