The fishermen in Gaza have not been allowed to fish since late June, and even when they are allowed to fish, they have to stay within a six mile radius and are shot at by Israeli gunboats if they try to go further.
No matter that the Oslo Accords agreed that the Gazan fishermen could fish out to twenty nautical miles.
Around 35 000 people in Gaza depend on the fishing industry for their survival. Imagine how it feels not being allowed to fish on your own fucking coastline.

I'm sorry to butt in, I just wanted to pass this on:
You can now raise money for ME Research UK as you shop online, at no extra cost to you.

"ME Research UK have now teamed up with Affinity Shopper, so that you can help our charity while you shop in comfort. The ME Research UK Shopping Mall is a gateway to millions of products and 700 retailers, all of whom pay a commission from sales generated via our shopping mall. This commission is then passed on to us to help fund the research we all want to see. Many of your favourites are available: Tesco, Thorntons, Currys, Boots, B&Q, John Lewis, Halfords, etc., so why not start browsing through the wide range of topics from 'Books, Films and Music' to 'Travel and Holidays', and "earn" commission for us without any cost to you."

Please pass this on.
Thanks for that, Anonymous. Yeah, the pesky illness, I try not to refer to it *too* much on my blog, prefer to do that through my book extracts. But the next time you lovely readers of mine buy online, please put some money in the ME hat. Wish I could do the same for the Gaza fishermen, guess I can do something by still NOT buying coriander from Israel...
