[shira]

Zouara, Libya - A Libyan ship loaded with more than 3,000 tons of food aid and medicines leave the Libyan port of Zouara, 120 km west of Tripoli, on Tuesday for the Gaza Strip in Palestine.

The donation being made by the Libyan Fund for Aid and Development in Africa is made up of 500 tons of oil; 750 tons of milk; 1,207 tons of rice; 500 tons of wheat flour and 100 tonnes of various drugs.

In a statement to PANA, the Chief Executive Officer of the Fund Lakhdouri Abdelhamid said the shipment would arrive in the Gaza Strip in one week.

He said the aid was only the beginning and marked the solidarity of the Libyan people with the Palestinians, "who are victims of an unjust embargo imposed upon them by Israel".

1. are the Zionists going to let it across the boarder...?

[henank]

2. Who are these Zionists whereof you speak?

Are they Israelis? If so, why not just say "Israel", "Israeli government" or a generic "Israelis"? Why does their political opinion matter? Do you refer to the US government controlling its borders as "The Republicans"?

Furthermore have you ever looked at a map of the Middle East? If not, please do so now. Then you will note that Libya borders Egypt which has its very own non-Zionist border with Gaza. There would be no need for this aid to enter via Israel, whether Zionist or not.
