ABOUT US - SOBRE NÓS
The International Coalition to End the Illegal Siege of Gaza formed after Israel's 22-day assault on Gaza in winter 2008-09.
We are a diverse coalition that represents all faiths (and no faith) and is focused on human rights in conformance with international law.
To mark the fact that is has been one year since the Israeli attack, the coalition is mobilizing an international contingent for a nonviolent march alongside the people of Gaza on Dec. 31, to end the illegal blockade.
The coalition conceives this march as part of a broader strategy to end the Israeli occupation by targeting nonviolently its flagrant violations of international law from the house demolitions and settlements to the curfews and torture.

Flotilla Attacked!
Israel has used military force on the peaceful, humanitarian flotilla and murdered several unarmed civilians. This was not a confrontation, this was a massacre!
The Emergency Response Plan is in effect.
This includes planned protests at all Israeli embassies worldwide.
Let Israel know that it cannot get away with its crimes against humanity!
In response to Israel's of launching a military attack or naval blockade on the convoy, the Gaza Freedom March has issued the following Emergency Response Plan!
