Yes, We Can! - Video for Free Gaza Movement

Here is a short video that I put together to honor the brave and inspiring participants of the Free Gaza Movement. December 10, 2008 will mark the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and what better way to celebrate than to congratulate the latest voyage of the SS Dignity in her breaking of the Siege of Gaza by Israel, bringing badly needed medical supplies, human rights activists, journalists who have been blocked from entering Gaza, and experts in education who have chosen to risk their lives in order to highlight the human rights abuses that are occurring in Gaza because of this siege. The Israeli government is preventing Palestinian students from being able to leave Gaza to get to the schools at which they have been accepted, many with honors and scholarships. This is an outrage! What better way to assure peace, security, and success for all than through education, so that doctors and teachers and engineers and many other skilled citizens can create positive changes in their communities. The cycle of violence must be broken, and peace can only begin when all human rights are respected - when we recognize that we are all one human family.
