Yesterday, thousands marched and demonstrated in London, against the blockade and the collective punishment of the Palestinian people in Gaza. Also the Irish Foreign Minister Dr Micheal Martin’s plea to let “Rachel Corrie into Gaza”, a poignant and poetic request was denied by the Israeli authorities.

News today has been announced that the autopsy report shows that those who were killed on the flotilla were shot in the head at point-blank range. The Israel government continues an inhuman blockade and denial of human rights and the victimisation of a people.

At The Multicultural Politic – we put forward these two voices of non-party political aligned though solidarity and human rights activists.

First, a five minute honest and quietly passionate account by Anne De Jong, a dutch anthropologist and SOAS student about why she joined the Flotilla.
