I am really impressed by how well organized they are and how much they have been able to accomplish so little funding. The Global March to Gaza, then the Sumud Floatila have been some great ideas for significant peaceful action.

During the last flotilla and just afterward we saw:

• A general strike in Italy.
• Spanish and Italian war ships deployed.
• Spain’s complete arms embargo is enshrined into law
• Many nations recognized Palestine for the first time and reaffirmed their recognition.
• Even the US, the most significant sponsor of the genocide, proposed the best peace plan of this administration and took a small but material step in opposition to Israel.

I’m hopeful the momentum continues and I think these people have demonstrated their trustworthiness as much as any group.
