The Free Gaza Movement began in the Fall of 2006. Seeing all land borders of Gaza controlled by Israel – and by Egypt at Rafah – severely restricting the crossing of urgently needed food, fuel, and medicine for 1.4 million Palestinians – they decided to reach Gaza by sea, and directly challenge the Israeli siege.
In response to the month-long Israeli war on Gaza that began at the end of December 2008 they sent a ship with over 3 tons of emergency medical supplies, and 3 surgeons. Cynthia McKinney, former U.S. congresswoman and Green Party presidential candidate, decided to participate in this journey. This is her story of the ramming of the first boat, and boarding of the second Free Gaza boat by the Israeli navy.
