The delegates intended to cross into Gaza from the Rafah border with Egypt, delivering humanitarian aid and marching in solidarity with Palestinians suffering from the Israeli government\u2019s siege and occupation.<\/p>\n<p>As scores of marchers began to arrive in Cairo on December 27 they have encountered massive interference from the Egyptian Government. This interference for the internationals has been just a small taste of the daily Egyptian and Palestinian experience. Restriction of movement and assembly, unwarranted detentions and arrests, combined with bureaucratic harassment has marked the first two days of the delegation. The marchers were scheduled to travel to El Arish today and proceed from there to the Rafah border crossing into Gaza. All this has been made impossible. The Egyptian government has revoked all permits for gathering, refused to allow public and private buses to take delegates to El Arish. They have followed, detained and arrested any members of the March who attempted to try crossing the border on their own.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[<a href=\"http:\/\/vcnv.org\/restriction-of-civil-liberties-nothing-new-for-gazans-our-solidarity-only-a-small-taste-of-the-p\">Read the report<\/a>]<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Solidarity Only a Small Taste of the Palestinian Experience By Joshua Brollier 28 December 2009 Cairo \u2014 About one week before the December 31st march was scheduled to take place in Gaza, the Egyptian authorities announced that the 1300 &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/?p=12319\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12319","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pdXTf-3cH","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12319","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12319"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12319\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12322,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12319\/revisions\/12322"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12319"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12319"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/karmalised.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12319"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
