Times readers Get FREE $30 to spend on Amazon, Walmart…When the actions of any nation state are abhorrent, good people rise up and demand better.  Marianne of Gothenburg left her home port at 7 pm on Sunday May 10th (more info: https://shiptogaza.se/en). The trawler, which has been jointly acquired by Ship to Gaza Sweden and Ship to Gaza Norway jointly, departed for a voyage of almost 5000 nautical miles towards the eastern Mediterranean and the blockaded Gaza Strip.

Marianne will join other ships to form "Freedom Flotilla III", a peaceful, nonviolent action to break the illegal and inhumane blockade of Gaza in Palestine.  Canadian delegates and crew will be joining Flotilla III as the ships make their call at many European ports serving as a focus for demonstrations and solidarity events against the blockade.  This is truly an international humanitarian effort.

Canadian Boat to Gaza has been working within Flotilla III for sometime now but for security reasons publicizing details has been kept to a minimum.  Now that Marianne is underway the discussion and celebration must begin.  World opinion has begun to build around a positive future for the people of Palestine and restoring capacity for equitable international relationships.  The time for opening the port of Gaza has come and the world knows it.

All Canadians and Quebeckers can join in this effort by supporting Freedom Flotilla III (visit Canadian Boat to Gaza http://www.tahrir.ca/content/donate). 

You can further support the Flotilla efforts in many ways.  Please ask your families, friends and neighbors too, to “get on board”  this great cause.
