One year ago Israel launched a 22-day ferocious military attack against
the 1.5
million residents of the Gaza Strip, the majority of whom are children.
<br>
More than 1,300 Gazans were killed in the attacks. <br>
<br>
Since then Gaza has been a closed prison as Israel, with the blessing
of the
US, has maintained its nearly 4-year-long blockade. The Palestinians in
Gaza
are being forced to live in the wreckage of the war with essential
supplies
being smuggled from Egypt through dangerous, hand-made tunnels.<br>
This year in Gaza an historic Gaza Freedom March will take place on
Dec. 31,
2009. Some 1,400 internationals from 42 countries — including 14
participants
from Massachusetts - will marching with the Palestinian people to call
for an <b>immediate
end to the siege</b></span><span
