Press Conference in Gaza Port
Today´s press conference
in support of Palestinian farmers and fishermen held in the port of Gaza
City launched several days of activities leading up to the
International Day of Action for the Boycott of Israeli Agricultural
Products on Saturday 9th February. Speakers were from the Boycott
National Committee, the student boycott movement in Gaza, the Union of
Agricultural Work Committees, PNGO and International Action for
Palestine.
"The boycott of Israeli agricultural exports will remain an essential strategy as long as Palestinian farmers cannot export their produce due to closure and blockade. It must continue as long as Palestinian farmers cannot access their own land and work on it in safety, whilst Israeli corporations profit from stolen Palestinian land." - International Action for Palestine
This is a blog about Gaza farmers, workers and all the civilian population living in Gaza Strip rural communities along the Green Line, suffering from daily Israeli attacks and resisting the implementation of a so called "buffer zone" by the Israeli Occupation Forces.
Note: this blog is focusing on Israeli attacks on civilians inside or around the so called "buffer zone". Attacks on resistance fighters, or attacks, usually airstrikes on civilians further inside the Gaza Strip, or along the Egypt border (apart from the eastern areas such as Al Shoka or the airport area) are usually not mentioned. For the attacks of the Israeli Navy see http://fishingunderfire.blogspot.com/
