If You Stop 6 Ships We Will Send 6,000

If You Stop 6 Ships We Will Send 6,000

By David Swanson

I received this by Email from someone who asked to remain anonymous. I've only tweaked it slightly and think it deserves to be read:

FACT: people in Palestine suffer tremendously under the terror of occupation from Israel
FACT: people in Palestine are treated as animals and die on a daily basis due to Israeli blockade of any supplies coming to Palestine
FACT: people in Palestine have no food, no water, no medical supplies and have no chances whatsoever to live a normal human life

THEREFORE:

People from our planet try to help these civilians. We show our solidarity by sending them food, water sanitation systems, medical supplies, medicine, and many other things that enable them to survive the horrors of Israeli Apartheid and occupation.

The Israeli government chooses to:
- ignore international law
- ignore countless UN resolutions
- ignore international calls for ending the blockade of Gaza
- ignore international calls to stop the illegal occupation of Palestine

Instead Israel chooses to use any possible means to suppress the Palestinian people and stop the humanitarian necessary aid for Gaza. They use excessive violence to commit these acts and are internationally condemned for these actions.

We – the people of the world –

will NOT be tempted by their violence and their hatred
will ignore the Israeli aggression
and will continue to help the Palestinian people

this has nothing to do with politics
and has nothing to do with religion
nor with race or prejudice
this is solely a humanitarian necessity due to the unbearable suffering of the Palestinian people who die each day due to this Israeli terror

we sent 6 ships and you stopped the ships, killed unarmed civilians, stole the cargo and illegally imprisoned the peacefull civilians who came to help the Palestinian people

NOW WE WILL SEND 60 SHIPS
AND IF YOU STOP US
WE WILL SEND 600 SHIPS
AND IF YOU SABOTAGE US AGAIN
WE WILL SEND 6000 SHIPS

No force or hate can stop the power of compassion and love

It is like the ways Mahatma Ghandi has showed us
We will not accept your violence and terror
We will not stand by and let you commit your crimes
We will resist, with all we have, in nonviolent ways

If you fight us the world will see what you are truely like
And more people will come and help
And in the end, you will not be able to stop the power of human solidarity

WE WILL HELP THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE

FREE PALESTINE!
