Passing this along, your pressure has forced the NY Times to lift its black-out of coverage of the 1400 strong international Gaza Freedom March. Robert Naiman now wants us to take aim at the Washington Post.
Excerpt from Robert's recent post at HuffPo: Under International Pressure, Egypt Yields Ground to Gaza Freedom March
...I myself was pulled off a bus today by Egyptian police just outside...
Ismailiya and sent back to Cairo - along with three Australian
tourists who were only trying to reach Port Said.
Ismailiya is some 150 miles west of Gaza, so that gives
you some sense of how large the Egyptian "security
perimeter" around Gaza has been.
The international pressure generated around the Gaza
Freedom March and the Viva Palestina convoy has shown
that internationally, the blockade on Gaza is very
vulnerable politically. More pressure and attention can
end it. It would certainly help if the New York Times
and the Washington Post would stop ignoring the rising
din of protest.
UPDATE: The New York Times is now reporting on the Gaza
Freedom March. Still no word from the Washington Post.
Anyone with better or additional contact information please post it here.
