With many thanks to all who contributed in the making of this video and the solidarity received.

In support of the OneWorld single 'Freedom for Palestine', London Rhymes with Palestine hit the streets of London to raise awareness and encourage the public to download this single.

To get this single into the UK charts it needs to be downloaded between now and 9th July 2011 from HMVdigital or Itunes. The single costs 79p and takes two minutes to download.

There are many positive aspects of the single which include sending a clear message to the UK Government; that the UK Civil Society calls for an end to Israeli occupation and Freedom for Palestine. This single also challenges the current regime of media censorship and frigidity/partiality not to mention the injustice in Palestine.

Gilad Atzmon: Gaza Flotilla vs. Diaspora Jewry

The Israelis are preparing themselves for another massacre on the high seas.

This should not take us by surprise: after all, people who are detached from a true notion of history, and driven by a continuous fantasy of destruction, would be the last to draw a lesson from their past.

Earlier today I learned that The Israeli Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs Ministry held a simulation practice, ahead of the Gaza flotilla: in the course of the exercise, Minister Yuly Edelstein formed a ‘special situation room’ that is designated to disseminate ‘public diplomacy’ on the internet ,via messages, 
photos, video clips and additional materials, with emphasis on Diaspora 
communities, Jewish organisations, and friends of Israel around 
the world.

Just in case you weren’t sure what the expected role of Diaspora Jews is, I guess that by now Minister Edelstein has provided the answer.

However, the most interesting part of the story is the detailed description of the flotilla simulation itself: the imaginary scenarios depicted by Minister Edelstein and the IDF provide a glimpse into Israeli collective psychosis.

“The exercise was based on a scenario in which approximately 500 activists on 
approximately ten ships reached Israel's territorial waters at 10:00,” says the Israeli document. 
”Despite having been warned by the IDF, the ships continued on their way. At 
10:30, the Israel Navy began approaching the ships. Stun grenades were 
thrown at the IDF soldiers, as well as one live grenade that caused a number 
of casualties to our forces.”
