Dignity sets sail for Gaza
28-10-2008 22:24
After a succesful maiden voyage, the Free Gaza movement has launched it's second attempt at entering beleagured Gaza by boat. Today the Dignity set sail from Cyprus, bound for Gaza. This time the Israeli state has vowed to stop the boat if it enters Israeli waters. It did not enter Israeli waters on the last voyage, and it has no need to enter them this time. By stopping the boat in Gaza's territorial waters, the Israeli state will be confirming once again that they are still the occupiers of Gaza.

banners stopping the work safely. Some of the digger drivers were very friendly and
were glad to have a break as they work very long shifts, from 7am-6:30 with only
lunch & half hour breaks at 10 & 3. Today work had not been able to start till 10
as nature was fighting it's own corner, with rain drowning the site, and it was stopped again at 1 for 3 hours due to the protest.

Meanwhile the cynic might suggest that they knew damn well that there would be a lot more media interest this year. Due to the de Menezes enquirey, and the presence of Jean Charles' family on the demo. And were therefore told to be on their best behaviour? There was certainly three times more journalists present than last time. Take your pick.
Below are some pictures of the day:
