Colonel Ann Wright
Gaza Freedom Flotilla Participant Tells Her Story
Colonel Ann Wright is a former United States Army colonel and retired
official of the U.S. State Department, known for her outspoken opposition to
the Iraq War. She is most noted for having been one of three State Department
officials to publicly resign in protest of the March 2003 invasion of
Iraq.
She was a passenger on the Challenger 1, which, with the Mavi Marmara, was
part of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla that was attacked in international
waters while trying to break the blockade and take humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Ali Abunimah, The Electronic Intifada (invited and working on his schedule
to make it possible)
Author of the book One Country: A Bold Proposal to End the
Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, which proposes to revive the idea of one state shared by two
peoples.

In the aftermath of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla massacre and world-wide
scrutiny of Israel's attack on and continued siege of Gaza, Israel has mounted a
public relations campaign to whitewash the facts. Yet Gaza is still under
siege, an open-air prison for 1.5 million Palestinians, backed by the U.S.
government.
This fall, joining a flotilla of ships from around the world, Americans
are launching a U.S. boat to Gaza "The Audacity of Hope" to join Gaza Freedom
Flotilla II
