Free Gaza Movement's Success as Israel Cracks Under Pressure

Israel's announcement that it is easing the illegal blockade of goods into the Gaza strip is a resounding success for the Free Gaza Movement, and shows that Israel is crumbling in the face of international opposition. According to the latest announcements, Israel will no longer restrict any food items, toys, stationary, kitchen utensils, mattresses and towels into the Gaza Strip.

Clearly, none of these newly "approved" items poses or ever posed any threat to the security of Israel. It is further unequivocally clear to anyone not wearing blackout lenses that the sole purpose of imposing an embargo on food items, toys, books, stationary, and many other such items of personal comfort with no weapons value was for the singular purpose of breaking the spirit and will of the Palestinian people. Not only has this policy failed to break the will of the Palestinian people, but it has crystallized into a rallying call of support for these embattled civilians. History will record Israel's embargo of the Gaza Strip as the springboard for the establishment of a Palestinian State.

And yes, you can quote me on that.
