Viva Palestina USA, an offshoot of British MP George Galloway's anti-Zionist, pro-Hamas, Viva Palestina convoy initiative, crossed into the Gaza Strip on July 15th, 2009, with 200 Americans as well as more than $1 million worth of aid for Palestinians in Gaza. Viva Palestina USA claims to be a humanitarian initiative desiring to help needy Palestinians. But behind the headline-grabbing trip, events prior to, during and after the trip reveal the anti-American, anti-Israel, revolutionary and pro-Hamas sentiments of its organizers.Continue reading
When Galloway led a Viva Palestina UK convoy to Gaza in March, he started out with 110 trucks filled with supplies. That doubled during a stop in Libya when the Gaddafi International Charity and Development Foundation donated a matching volume of supplies. The Foundation's chairman is Safi Saif Al-Islam Gaddafi, son of Libyan dictator Muammar al-Gaddafi.
Once in Gaza, the convoy was greeted by Hamas representatives. Viva Palestina UK gave thousands of pounds of aid and tens of vehicles to the Hamas government. The convoy also included 12 ambulances, a fire engine and 1 million pounds (approximately $1.4 million U.S.), which was given to Ziad al-Zaza, the Economy Minister of the Hamas government.
In July, Viva Palestina USA led a similar convoy to Gaza, with more than $1 million in what organizers said were medical supplies. There, Galloway and a crew of approximately 200 Americans met with Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who praised the U.S. convoy as "proof that the American people is not entirely a people of occupation and is not entirely on the side of the criminal Zionist regime."
U.S. law prohibits providing material support to Hamas, even when that takes the form of humanitarian aid. Five officials at the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF), a now-defunct Texas charity, are serving prison terms ranging from 15 to 65 years for violating that law. In that case, jurors found that HLF routed more than $12 million to Hamas through a network of charities controlled by the terrorist group.

Convoy is Front for hamas
That disgusting mutant, British MP george galloway, should be barred from entry into the United States because of his support for terrorism. But instead he is allowed to come here and raise funds for hamas with the rest of the anti-American and anti-Semitic riffraff. Isn't this activity illegal and shouldn't these creatures be imprisoned? We can only hope the next convoy to Gaza sinks.
