Gaza convoy faces huge detour (From Bradford Telegraph and Argus)

I think this is totally disgusting that they were sent back.I for one will be writing a strong worded email to the Eygpt embassy and my mp.For Gods sake they are taking aid through.

They are indeed, but some convoys taking the original route have been intercepted by Hamas gunmen and their contents forcibly removed, could it not be that the various authorities involved are just trying to overcome the potential of that being repeated?

Refrain from listening to Israeli army radio (aka 'Zionist propganada') for what's happening in Gaza, albion.
.
And re. Egypt's refusal, these bast*rds are in the hands of the Zionists in Washington (they pay Mubarak's regime over a billion dollars a year to make sure they do as they're told).

I simply asked a question based on previous events, such as those last January when Jordanian aid trucks were attacked.
It isnt up to you to control what I might listen to read or watch (you just wish it was).

I'm just giving you some advice. And it's funny no-one's blaming the sickening Israeli regime for what's happening in other parts of Gaza (i.e. the exits and entrances).
.
The IDF control who goes in, and who goes out. Sounds like a concentration camp to me, albion. Rather ironic, don't you think ?

No! but I think if the boot were on the other foot and this was an aid convoy to Israel you would be applauding all the restrictions and obstacles and probably the Hamas looters.

I was expecting that to happen - why didn't the people running the convoy expect it, and organise it better?

Far too many wannabees intent on their 15 minutes of fame with Galloway heading the Pallywood rush for glory.The Egyptians have made it abundantly clear from the outset that all goods ,medicines etc must be turned over to UNWRA for delivery into Gaza .
Unfortunately for Gaza , Galloway and the rest are intent on turning the whole farce into a propoganda scoop with Galloway acting out delusions of grandeur as a latter day Lawrence of Arabia .
Quit all the showboating and put the needs of the Palestinian people first and foremost. The goods could have been shipped from the UK and would have arrived at Al Arish weeks ago.
An utter disgrace and testimony to Galloways monumental ego.

It's funny you use the offensive term ('Pallywood'), to dismiss what certain people are doing for the average Palestinain.

Only hardened (and cowardly) Israeli terrorist supporters tend to use that sick term. Don't be afraid in showing your true colours now.

http://en.wikipedia.
org/wiki/Pallywood
For those who are unfamiliar with the term.

They were not aid convoys from this country, but there has been incidents of aid convoys and aid warehouses being looted, if you google= jordanian aid trucks, that will give an account of one such incident.

Iona Brainscell is one sad case. What contribution does he make to this country and It's people, he hates so much? He talks about partition and predjudice but is proud to brag that muslim women should not participate in society. He is quite happy for allah to permit him to pick up 'benefits' earned by other people whilst he plays the tug in his two 'mates' honda as they cruise round the beauty spots off Oak Lane. The fool is happy to see Bradford deteriorate due to the colonisation of country bumpkins from mirpur, happy that people who have history going back generalisations can't wait to leave and happy that Bradford is a joke city.

reduce crime in Bradford; keep the 'good lads' in at night and let the women out

Interesting that you should dwell on the term Pallywood while choosing to ignore the fact that Galloway is prepared to risk the whole operation rather then simply have the provisions placed in the hands of UNWRA. Not that UNWRA has any real control of final distribution . Hamas seized part of the last Viva Gaza shipment breaking into UNWRAs bonded warehouses and claiming the food and medicines for Hamas fighters and their families. A repulsive act but unsurprising given Hamas treatment of the Palestinian Authority in Gaza in 2007

Galloway will shortly resume his role as a mouthpiece for tyranny on Press TV .

Perhaps that bothers you as little as the reality of Gaza and the misguided gestures of naive dupes who put adventurism and You Tube imagery first rather then take Route One to Gaza.

Quite sad really.

Either back up what you've said (re. the so-called looting), or remain silent.

It seems your ignorance (and hatred) of the Palestinians knows no bounds. *That's* sad.

Bit harsh , however I do not buy into the looting either, I am being told by people that were in the convoy earlier this year , the reason they went was because aid was being stored in warehouses and not distributed hence the reason some people took in on themselves to take from these warehouses and make people aware they were not being given the aid that was being donated.subsequently there are jews on the current convoy who know of what is being done so they joined.

Do your own research . Simply google 5th Feb 2009 Hamas police raid UN RELIEF supplies . You will come up with several hundred results including the BBC .

You still avoid the main thrust of my post.

Are the Palestinian people best served by Galloways 'Relief of Mafeking ' posturing or should the provisions have been sent direct to Gaza by sea container under the auspices of the Egyptians and designated Relief Agencies .
An honest answer if possible

This doesn't suprise me. Egypt & Mubarak never let the Gazan's cross the border into Egypt when Israel was bombing them indiscriminately (Illegally - as ruled by the UN recently).

Egypt is a puppet of the West and Mubarak is not democratically elected by the people.

Zionists pulling their strings as ususal

Hamas, allegedly, stole relief supplies through desperation. Israel, definitely, has been stealing land for the last 60 plus years and killing any that puts up a fight - including British aid workers

Which is worse, an honest answer please?

Whatever the reasons for George Galloway to lead these convoys , the fact is he has shown that there is humanity in British people, any mp could have done the same but chose instead to stay put.It is far easier to question his integrity sat at a laptop.I was no big fan but the fact he has gone out there three times puts him on my christmas card list.

I haven taken your lead on this and composed a very 'strongly worded' email to the Egyptian Embassy to tell them what I think of their decision.

Also made a decision to never visit Egypt again.

Members of the Viva Palestina group, which includes 45 Bradford people, had begun a hunger strike in protest at the decision but called it off after;
A) they got a bit peckish.
B)meadiation.
C) no-one would give a fLlck if they starved to death.

Mubarak has put the shutters up on Hamas because he has no intention of letting a radical Islamist terror network join forces with the Muslim Brotherhood . He is well aware that such a combination would generate violence and the potential to overthrow the secular government replacing it with a fascist theocracy reminiscent of what we see in Iran today.
Mubarak is mindfull of what took place in Jordan during Black September 1970 . He will not allow a repeat of that hence the blockade . Nothing more nothing less.

Yeah, Im sure Egypt will lose sleep about someones concerns in a tin-pot city in the north of England.

Couldn't they have just sent the stuff by DHL? At least they know the rules and regulaations for sending stuff around the world...

I am truely disgusted at the way Egypt has acted. They are clearly following the orders from America/Israel.

Well done Egypt.

Having spoken to a friend who was in the last Bradford convoy , he tells me whey they drove through Eygpt in the convoy police with guns were outside houses telling the owners to turn their backs to the convoy.they were not even allowed to look as the convoy passed their houses.

The hunger strike didn,t last long.....
what about giving the aid to Bradfords homeless....no thought not

I take it this is a off the cuff remark and you are not seriously comparing the Gazans with the homeless here....for one I am proud to be British and know for a fact the homeless here receive the donations I as well as many give everymonth,secondly you don't see many children as young as 5 with their arms and legs blown off as a result of all the shelling.Anyone with a bit of humanity in them will be sickened to the stomach with the scenes that are coming from Gaza......

Radical Islamist terror network or not - Hamas have been democratically elected by their people. The UN ruled the elections as valid and Jimmy Carter was the head of the validation committee. The west wasn't happy with this , and as usual, we are sticking our noses where we are not wanted.

It is the same with Iran, we are accusing them of having WMD's, but everyone knows Israel has the biggest arsenal of WMD's in the region. Cannot see the zionists allowing us to go into that illegal state though.

We in the west ultimately want to have arab leaders that are puppets and do as the zionists say.

The arabs don't invade European countries because we have nuclear weapons and force regime change, so why should we go there and interfere.

Live and let live

Even the BNP (who I'm not a supporter of) want us to stop interfering where we are not wanted i.e. Iraq, Iran and so on

The billions we would save would be better spent in the UK.

Latest from the convoys website...



​The boats were loaded with aid today and ready to leave for AL Arish, the plan was that we would meet them there, as we would fly to Al Arish and arrive before the boats.​

​​However, the update is that the ​Israelis​ have just announced that they will be ​performing military operations​ in these waters and therefore the aid has no way of passing through these waters.​​

​So there is no point getting flights to Al Arish tomorrow as the aid wont be arriving. Of course, it now seems highly unlikely that we will get to the Rafah crossing between the 3rd and 6th when Egypt said the gates would be open to us. The Convoy is now brought to a total standstill. The Israelis have pulled a very dirty tactic here if what we are hearing is true. For now this is all we are hearing. More updates when we get them.

​​Derry to Gaza Team​​

Please keep us updated of progress. Bradford saves the world but don't let the women mingle with non-believers at home.

Boring , who cares , not m eI don,t care at all about them ha ha ha

Recent update

Things are chaotic there and rumours are spreading, people are fed up angry and lacking sleep. We just got the most recent update, there are two of them, here they are:

FIRST:
They expanded the waters by 12 miles but boat going around it. will be internet in 1 hour with fill update. All systems go 4 now!!

SECOND:
Ferry left at 10 last night. The airline has confirmed first of four flights will depart at 4am 2m,verbal assurance frm Egypt but airline going ahead anyway.we should arrive 2 nite all of us. Well get to internet shortly and update in detail. New craic.

So from my take it looks like Israel had a problem with the route and they are having to go round some 12 mile limit. This most likely last night was spread as a rumour that Israel was blocking the convoy by sea. Makes sense that way. Again, we are posting what we get because people are interested, however, we must all remember these people are exhausted and suffering from lack of rest for 30 days now. So cut them all some slack, as we all sit here in our comfy homes. Now I’m going to have an online chat with the boys in 1 hours, back after that with more.

Reminds us that Hamas were "democratically elected"

True but then so was Hitler when the Nazis polled 99% of the vote in 1935. The June election in Iran was similarly rigged . Like the Nazis who murdered anyone who stood in the way {Romer] Hamas have no problems killing and persecuting members of Fatah ,pushing them off of tall buildings the preferred method of disposal.

Democracies in your book perhaps but to most people vicious totalitarian tyrannies.

Try to use some objective rationale rather then merely trotting out the same tired old leftist reactionary agitprop.

I too wld want to see it delivered directly to the people who need it and not stuck on a football pitch under covers....
So all you f****rs against that, lets see if you would risk your own life to help others, No you fckng wldnt, u just sit on your arses and believe wat the media say and portray...ive seen it first hand, been there whilst bombs have being going off, how isreal and america influence what goes in to GAZA...

are they them special 'halal' sweets that someone muttered over religiously during their manufacture?

I see some of the convoy members have had a good hiding from the Egyptian police.

Thanks for passing on the excellent news, I'm so glad the aid got put to good use by the Egyptians rather than being allowed to fall into the hands of the terrorist scum in Gaza. You've made my day.

WELL STOP READING IT. LOG OFF.

Maximum respect for whoever went on the convoy...takes a lot of stamina to go on such a long road journey.
Somehow I get the feeling that if so many Muslims were not taking part on the convoy, the convoy members would have been hailed as heroes...no matter, as long as the objectives of delivering aid and drawing attention to the continued siege on the Gazans were met, all's good!
