MARIA STARTS HUNGER STRIKE IN SOLIDARITY WITH PEOPLE OF GAZA
Monday, January 12 2009
Maria Gallastegui, founder of the Peace Strike, has started a hunger
strike this morning in solidarity with the people of Gaza and to protest
against the escalating military assault on the people of Gaza.
Maria set up the Peace Strike in 2007 which urges people to go on
‘strike for peace’ from their daily activities. She has since personally
delivered over 400 daily petitions to No 10 Downing Street calling for
peace and justice in the Middle East.
Maria said, “I have food, drink, shelter, warmth, contact with my family
and the rest of life’s necessities whenever I need; the people of Gaza
don’t have these. They have almost no access to basic necessities and
are living each day in dreadful fear for their lives and those of their
families. I am starting this hunger strike in solidarity with the people
of Gaza at this moment of extreme crisis. I urge everyone to go on
strike for Gaza, take a day off work, come and join us on the Vigil for
Gaza in Parliament Square or make a stand for Palestine where ever you
are. Every single individual can make a difference.”
Come and join the vigil, support Maria and let parliamentarians know how
you feel about what is happening in Gaza.

Of course you were out there protesting every rocket sent into Israel from gaza right? All 3,000+ of them?
that Israel should have to live with that . . . that Hamas should tunnel into Israel and attempt to kidnap another soldier to torture . . . that they should teach their children to hate . . .
The hypocrisy of those who support ending war (so the terrorist and suicide bombers can re-arm to begin again) is blindness!
Please come to my site and read the first 2 or 3 (short) positngs (skipping the first post on P/E Obama) and leave a message . . . maybe we can talk? http://www.josiahe.wordpress.com
