"9/11 became an excuse, a pre-text, to launch the kind of sweeping political changes the ruling elite of the US desperately wanted, but could not pass off yet, on the American public."- #1 of 6 Reasons to Oppose the War in Afghanistan.

Chronicling the Experience

Through the month of December, 2 members of this convoy from London to Gaza will recount their experiences and provide their thoughts. We will feature these dispatches along with pictures and videos from all over Europe, Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Egypt and war-ravaged Gaza.

Members of the convoy would like to share their experiences with everyone. Have 1 or 2 or ALL of them come speak at your event. Fill out the request form to get started.


T Shirt will be mailed upon my return from the convoy. It’s included with your support pledge!

A Relief Mission From London to Gaza

Organized by Viva Palestina, over 200 vehicles carrying medical supplies and volunteers will depart London on December 5th and travel across Europe, the Middle East, Egypt, and finally Gaza. With the success of the US convoy this past summer, this international convoy will aim to deliver more medical and humanitarian aid as well as several vehicles not allowed in this past July.

“ ‘We Are All Palestinians’ is more than a slogan. It’s a vantage from which to view the world, our relationship to each other, and the collective imperative to act.” - Martin Smith

For dispatches from the successful US Convoy, see below for multiple accounts.
