Zionist Egypt kisses Israel's ass once again. They send in the storm troopers to physically harass and attack the Viva Palestina humanitarian convey.
The zionist American media is silent. See Irish 4 Palestine for updates.
Egyptian government halt and attack aid convoy for Gaza News from the roadAround 55 people have been injured in clashes between Egyptian riot police and
Viva Palestina activists at the Egyptian port of El-Arish.
MP George Galloway In Egyptian Police RiotMr Galloway said: "Together with myself and other leaders of the convoy we were in negotiations with the Egyptian authorities about their determination to remove more than 55 of our vehicles and send them to the Israeli checkpoint.
"We refused this because it is a breach of the agreement we reached in Akabar between the government of Egypt and the Turkish side and it completely unconsciounable that 25% of our convoy should go to Israel and never arrive in Gaza.
"Because nothing that ever goes to Israel, ever arrives in Gaza."

Many thanks to “D from Turkey” who gave us these links to videos of the pre-meditated attack tonight shown on Turkish television. The first link is a longer version, the second is a shorter version. Both are in Turkish, but no words are needed to see what happened, this is a disgrace!
Long versionShort versionWe spent almost
3 hours in a blind panic unable to locate our people, only their phones were found on the ground and answered by strangers. Some people are STILL missing.
THIS is what it was like for us on this blog as it happened. God knows what tomorrow will bring after this attack. Hopefully the Egyptians have had enough fun and games and will now let them get on with their work of delivering the ambulances and aid to those who are in need of it.
Small amount of news to report. Still recovering from the last several hours of our boys being missing and under attack. That was an awful time! Especially when only their phones were found and not them!! So spoke to one of them again just now and they say 20 members were injured in the attack and there are some people for the convoy who are missing and cannot be found. For those following the convoy from Cork Ireland, just to let you know, I asked and your people on the convoy are all OK as well. Just thought you'd want to know that:) Up da Irish!! haven't heard about the Dungannon team, but I was told all the Irish are OK. Well done! More when we get it. What a night, had enough of this already let them in!!
Here's the latest news. Managed to finally get JJ on phone for few minutes his phone died after that. but he said they are alright, THANK GOD!! Also said what we reported before, outsiders arrived armed with sticks and stones entered the compound and attacked the members and were joined by Egyptian police squad. There are several members injured, heads and arms bandaged. Rumours are flying around about other things as well, like people still missing and such. for now i'm glad our guys are OK. More when we get it. At least we can breath now knowing they are alright for the moment. Thanks for everyones support!!!
Ok I’m trying to calm down and gather as much information as possible. Here is the story from people at the scene. People we dont even know, who answered phones that belong to our boys who are missing right now! I need to preface this by saying that NONE of our boys can be located at this time!! One of their phones was answered by an Arabic man who found it on the ground and said the convoy members were currently under attack. Then later we tried to ring the other boys and got no answer either. Then we tried again later and ALL the phones were turned OFF they did not even ring! Later still, we tried Derek’s phone and a British lady answered named Pat. We do not know “Pat” she found Derek’s phone on the ground and answered it. She said that the whole thing happened when convoy members were still locked inside this gated compound, then suddenly a very large group of plain clothes “people” arrived at the compound with sticks and stones, they were then allowed into the compound by the Egyptians and began attacking the convoy members trapped inside with no where to go. The Egyptians then joined in the attack when the plain clothes vigil antes arrived and went inside to attack. “Pat” said people are hurt and on the ground.
“Pat” said she is unable to find any of our boys. She said there are injured people and she has been going round to help them but so far have not seen out boys, she will keep looking. We continue to try their phones but no contact. I can tell you that our people would be the type to keep their heads down and not get involved in attacking people. But when you are cornered into a fenced compound with no where to go everyone is a sitting duck target, even if you are minding your own business.
We are all so very worried here in Ireland and we continue to try to contact our people. We will update more as soon as we can.
We are very worried, very worried indeed!!! Riot police earlier moved barriers forward and went after convoy members who were confined. Tear gas, water cannons rock throwing, they are under full on attack as I type this!!! Tried to call JJ and unable to get an answer. Tried another Derry man and an Arabic man answered saying the phone had been knocked away to the ground. Said the convoy members are cornered. god help them!!! Unable to contact ANY OF OUR BOYS!!! we will keep trying!!!!!!!!
This is UTTERLY OUTRAGEOUS!!!

"Egypt has had every opportunity to redeem and to recast itself in the role of the hero. Instead they have needlessly and voluntarily cast themselves in the role of villain. (...) I fear that if it does not change its policies immediately they will be branded irrevocably with the same label deserved by Israel, War Criminals and villains of modern history."
