You will probably have heard of the disgraceful events when the police detained a number of people, their trucks and their relief supplies that were part of the 'Viva Palestina' peace convoy. No reason was given for the detentions and even though the people were released (though I understand the police are still holding the supplies so desperately needed in Gaza)the number of public donations dropped by 80% at the suggestion of some 'wrong doing'.

One does not have to be a genius to know what happened here, pressure was put on police by certain friends of Israel in order to derail part of the relief convoy. No doubt suggestions were made concerning the nature of what was contained on the trucks. I hope that when the police come to review the case and realise that certain people have tried to manipulate them they will charge the culprits with wasting police time and making malicious false accusations.
