Two different delegations of the US organization Codepink visited Gaza by entering through Egypt from May 28 to June 5. Codepink is an US women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement working to end the wars and reject foreign policies based on domination and aggression. We interviewed Stephanie Westbrook, Codepink’s member. “We was 66 people, mostly from United States, we realized our government rules in financing Israeli occupation. In Gaza we saw the incredible
distruction caused by the conflict but, at the other side, we saw the amazing work done by the civil society in Gaza, the wonderful determination of the Palestinian people to continue the resistance”.
During the trip the delegation also meet Richard Goldstone, leader of the United Nation council to investigate on human rights and law violations related to the 2008-2009 Israel-Gaza conflict.

The Free Gaza Movement trip started the 25th June. In three days, the human rights organization will cover by boat 240 miles from Cyprus to Gaza in its eighth mission to break Israel’s siege on 1.5 million Palestinians living there.
“Our small yet committed group has already made five successful travels to Gaza, delivering the needed humanitarian supplies, and helping to decrease Gaza’s terrible isolation from the rest of the World” said Greta Berlin, a Free Gaza Movement’s activist. “We are confident that with the universal outrage over Israel’s massacres in Gaza, we will be able to send a flotilla of ships to shatter the siege and deliver a message of international hope and solidarity to the people of Palestine”.

The 2nd of May the International Congress for the Right to Return took place in Milan, Italy. Many Palestinians living in Europe participated to the event. In this episode we talk about the main issues discussed during the initiative with Doctor Mohammad Hannoun, president of the Palestinian Assembly of Italy. “In this congress we discussed about the right to go back to our homes, an inalienable right for all the
Palestinians forced to leave their country” said Hannoun. Many Palestinians attended the event, more than ten thousands; several keynote speakers - such as Shaikh Raed Salah and Mustafa Barghouti among
others - were present to the congress.
