Europe needs to get its act together for Gaza
It's been a week since I blogged but I've a good reason for that. I've been back at work and finishing the books I started reading over the holidays and .... writing this article about Europe's stance on the situation in Gaza. Rather than republish it here, I'm sending you to the website "destiNation", the brainchild of Julie Hepburn, because if you've not already bookmarked it as a favourite, then you should! So once you've finished reading my article, don't forget to read what everyone else has to say - it's all good! Blogging back to normal as of now :-)

Hi Anne! Stewart here! Long time no speak or see! I hope you're well!
I liked and agree with much of your article about the war in Gaza... The only thing I don't agree with is labelling Hamas, a democratically elected government, a terrorist organisation.
I do agree that the Zionist adventure in wider Palestine must stop and Israel must bring justice by receeding to its pre-1967 borders.
Here is an excellent article -

Talk about getting back to blogging,
I see Osama Saeed (SNP British parliamentaty candidate for Glasgow Central) is back to his old blogging ways as well, which is also great to see -

Just to note that,
Gordon Brown is a patron of the Jewish National Fund, which is an Israeli organisation dedicated to racist ethnic cleansing of Palestinians.
Sorry for another comment so quickly.
Israel is threatening to attack the SS Dignity, which is at least a terrorist crime, if not a war crime -
Regev: "I can assure you that Israel will respect international law
Free Gaza
12 Jan 2009
At 8:30 a.m. Pacific Standard Time, official Israeli Prime Minister Spokesperson Mark Regev discussed the current voyage of Free Gaza boat `Spirit of Humanity` with Free Gaza co-founder Paul Larudee.
Larudee was seeking assurance that Israel would not harm the boat or prevent it from entering Gaza with medical supplies and personnel, as well journalists and human rights workers. The boat is currently at sea, heading for Gaza. Israel is threatening to use `all available means` to stop the boat. On Dec. 30, an Israel gunboat rammed and almost sank a previous boat....
As you probably know,
this is the boat in which both MSP Sandra White of the SNP, and Lib Dem Hugh O'Donnell MSP ran the illegal racist Israeli
blocakade of Gaza.
