On Sunday 11th January, I went and visited the Raytheon campers . Unfortunately the police have been a little more heavy-handed of late, so I couldn't stop and chat for long. A bag of food was quickly hoised to the roof, and I was off... Still, spirits seem to be high, the camp grows day-by-day (see the photos), and there is every reason to believe that the campers will win this battle, and Raytheon will be driven out...

This is a short letter that I have sent to the Israeli ambassador in London, his excellency Ron Prosor concerning the current situation in Gaza.

The Smash EDO campaign has been contacted by a group of campaigners who
forced entry into the ITT/EDO MBM arms factory early this morning,
Saturday 17th January. They destroyed equipment inside the factory that
is used to make the weapons used in Israel's wholesale slaughter of
civilians in Gaza.

This Week in Palestine, a service of the International Middle East Media Center www.imemc.org, for January 10th 2009 through to January 16th 2009.

Caoimhe (pronounced "Cueeva") Butterly is an Irish human rights activist presently in Gaza working in Jabaliya and Gaza city as a volunteer with ambulance services and as co-coordinator for the Free Gaza Movement.

"There are many ways to “light” a battle field. In Gaza, no such area exists anyway. There are just people’s hovels, holes and “homes.” Such as they are after years of blockade and bombardment by Israeli forces. The White phorpous is a terror weapon perfect for driving people away, “never to return.” The Zionist dream is and has always been for many, at least, to remove the native Arab population and posses all of “Greater Israel.” This inhuman weapon nicknamed “Willie Pete.” is perfect for the effort. When it comes into contact with human flesh it moves down toward the bone, tissues evaporate. Victims may survive for some time before vital organs are compromised, effecting death. Parents may be forced to end their children’s wild sufferings by shortening their lives in “other ways.”

The Guardian is reporting that thanks to Amnesty International, Greek and maybe some other EU officials, the weapons shipment that was due to leave Greece for Israel this week has been stopped and for now, "no EU member state will allow their ports or other facilities to be used to transit these or any other weapons to any of the parties to this conflict."
