Code Pink Canadian Delegations to Gaza

In the latest efforts to break the siege on Gaza, Col. Ann Wright shares her observations in this blog as she an eight shift flotilla aiming to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza, and to open the borders.

Following on the successful delegation of March 09 (which included rabble publisher, Kim Elliott), more than six further Code Pink delegations, including a delegation of Canadian Members of Parliament, traveled from Cairo to Gaza this summer to pressure the opening of Rafah border, and an end to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The border has effectively been closed since July 2007, when Israel imposed a blockade. Delegation members Kim Elliott, Sandra Ruch, Ehab Lotayef, Medea Benjamin, and Libby Davies have shared posts in this blog. For more on Code Pink's initiatives on Gaza, see: http://www.womensaynotowar.org/ . In December 2009 Code Pink and other activists joined the Gaza Freedom March. Canadian delegates David Heap and Wendy Goldsmith blogged on rabble while joining more than a thousand activists from around the word in an international action to open the borders to Gaza.

In memory of the children

| January 9, 2010

in her provocative way
she fills the space
with ferocity
rendered gentle by her
beauty
do not be fooled
for when she speaks

this,
the

great

mother

she does so
from the earthy depths
of fire
don't look back
lest you be scorched
engulfed
only forward
complexity in
simplicity
the sacred womb

tomb

erupts,
convulses


stop
killing
the

Advertising

children

stop
killing
the

babies

she calls
on her
earthly sisters
she calls
on her
earthly daughters
whose ears
are tuned
whose eyes
are open

eyes wide open
drawing it in
surge of light

NOT
in my name
NOT
in the name
of
MOTHER
EARTH


goddess of
humanity

goddess of the
soul

goddess of
hope
