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
