Soulful sound makers from East and West raise their voices to help launch the Canada Boat to Gaza. The Canada Boat to
Gaza is the ambitious vision of Canadian advocates for justice, peace and rights for Palestinians. The goal is to raise $300,000 to send a Canadian-registered ship as part of the international Free Gaza flotilla, to join boats from the U.S., India and many European countries.
Since the killings on the Turkish ship Mavi Marmara in May, Israeli officials have been under growing international pressure to end the blockade of Gaza, which bans the flow of virtually all goods - medical, food, fuel, water, construction, etc. The Canada Boat will set sail loaded with vital supplies for civilians and return to Canada with exports from Gaza.
