The Humanitarian Heroes Who Will Live Forever - Viva Palestina Convoy 5

Salam and hi all,

One of the things that we do in Turkey was to pay respect and visit the graves of the martyr.

Once, I was walking to the grave alongside a young man who said that the martyr was his teacher. And how he loves and misses his teacher so much...

He was an inspiration to his students. His good nature and pure heart has brought him to Gaza before, and he used to bring back some soil from Gaza. And now, his student asked if I can bring some of the Turkish soil back to Gaza pulak...

Ya Allah.... feel so sebak (Jem and Mike: this is choking), geram (upset/angry/tension all mixed up) and sedih (sad)...

3 in 1....

Choking for obvious reasons...

Upset coz how can the world let these brutal Zionist behave like this and not do anything... how can we, human, let our fellow humans being murdered without feeling guilty.... nak suruh stop makan McD, Coke, Nestle and use L'Oreal pun susah and so many arguments even if they are being presented with FACTS that these companies contribute to Zionists regime... like they dont mind helping the Zionist buy bullets to kill babies, children, women, men, activists etc etc...

Sad coz thinking of this man's family, students etc who loves him and misses him....

And when we were in Kayseri, we got the chance to visit the grave of Bro Furkan Dogan, the 19 year old American Turkish who was shot between 4-5 times in his face by the heartless Zionist commanders during his humanitarian mission to send aid to the oppressed people of Gaza last May 2010.

Do you remember the bloody flotilla incident?

Clearly, Bro Furkan Dogan is the pride of his community in Kaiseri.

His story has inspired us in the convoy to continue and not stop no matter what it takes to End the Occupation on Palestine and Break the Siege on Gaza!

I texted Zabrina to ask her to search for Furkan story and Zab told me that she has two youtube videos to share.

Below are his videos and some pictures I took when I was in Kaiseri...
