Bloggersunite.org is calling on all bloggers to unite on July 9 to blog about Gaza. The site is asking bloggers to make “a simple promise: ‘Gaza, We will not forget You.’”

Humanitarian aid cannot address the hardship faced by
Gaza's 1.5 million people. The only sustainable solution is to lift the closure. Israel's raid on the Gaza aid flotilla brought the issue to international attention. We must act now to put an end to the humanitarian crisis once and for all.
On 9 July 2004, the International Court of Justice issued an advisory opinion condemning Israel's infringement of the Palestinian right to self-determination and violations of the Fourth Geneva Convention. The ICJ explicitly affirmed the international community that the burden also falls on them not to recognise or assist the illegal situation.
This year, on 9 July, remind your own government of its own obligations not to recognise or assist Israel’s violations of international law. Urge that there must be an independent and international inquiry into the attacks on the Gaza aid flotilla. And make a simple promise: "Gaza, We Will Not Forget You."
