In the face of ongoing Israeli military actions directed at the Gaza Strip, which have taken the lives of over one-hundred Palestinians within the past week — including multiple children — a popular committee has formed in Gaza, which has been coordinating a series of popular direct actions and appealing for protests lead by social justice movements throughout the world.
On Monday, February 25th, the Popular Committee Against the Siege in Gaza, organize a major protest, bringing tens-of-thousands of Palestinians on the streets of Gaza, to protest the ongoing Israeli closure enforced on Gaza, which has left the 1.5 million Palestinians of Gaza without basic supplies, without regular electricity and often without clean water. The protest aimed to highlight the realities of the ongoing Israeli siege on Gaza, which Amnesty International recently deemed a violation of international law.
This interview with organizer Sam Hadeeb provides a direct perspective on popular, or grassroots organizing taking place in Gaza in opposition to the ongoing Israeli siege on Gaza, which has been maintained in the context of ongoing Israeli military operations throughout the Gaza Strip, that have drawn international condemnation, including from the Secretary General of the U.N.

On January 25, 2002 a remarkable group of 52 soldiers and officers of the Israeli army reserves published a quarter-page letter which appeared in the Israeli daily newspaper Ha’aretz. In this letter, they called on their comrades-in-arms to join their act of refusal to serve in the occupied Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza. In a manifesto published in a book in 2003 entitled “Breaking Ranks: Refusing to Serve in the West Bank and Gaza Strip,” they further declared: “we shall not continue to fight beyond the 1967 borders in order to dominate, expel, starve, and humiliate an entire people.”
Sherif Fam speaks to Oded Na’aman, a 26 year-old former crew commander in the artillery corps of the Israeli Defense Forces, who spent a year as a soldier and commander in checkpoints all over the West Bank, then became a member of “Breaking the Silence.”
