US VOTERS CAN DEMAND PALESTINE’S FREEDOM
By Cynthia McKinney, The Electronic Intifada, 19 July 2010

Cynthia McKinney comments on the growing grassroots boycott, divestment and sanctions movement for The Electronic Intifada.

Report, Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, 18 July 2010

This historical background is significant, as much for understanding the many and various forms of movement restrictions with which Shurafa Travel has had to deal during Gaza’s 43 year occupation as for providing a rationale for how and why Shurafa remains open under the current restrictions.
