Ali Abunimah is editor of the Electronic Intifada and was among the 1400 people, from 42 countries, who recently came together in the Gaza Freedom March. He describes in detail the efforts to gain access to the area, the difficulties with Israel’s and Egypt’s unwillingness to comply with international law, why Egypt has tightened the siege and the Gazans’ continuous suffering under inhumane conditions. He argues why Israel’s use of human suffering to achieve political goals can be categorized as terrorism as defined by the United States.
