Rafah Today Report

A compelling email to Ken O'Keefe (P10K Force) from friend and brother Mahammed in Rafah in the Gaza Strip.

Rafah Today

Aloha Christiaan,
If you have not already please read my previous email immediately! I am replying to a friend/brother (Mohammed) who contacted me this morning from Rafah; the Israelis are going nuts there. If anything puts our lives in perspective this email does. I ask you to immediately send out this email (that has his email & my response) with the following subject line; Re: shelling us now, shelling usnnnnnnnnowowo heavy.

Please do this right away Christiaan, it is the least we can do for this brother. I am also posting it on IndyMedia and encourage you to do the same, if you can do this let me know which ones you are hitting.
TJP,
Ken

Dear Mohammed,
I am so very sorry that I cannot do more for you at this very moment. I
am watching the bulldozers and helicopter gunships and F-16's in Rafah on
the "news" but I know there is no justice to these images. I want badly
to come to Gaza and I will immediately after our press conference this
Thursday, I have repeatedly asked everybody here in the West Bank if I
could get in sooned but the answer is always "it is impossible." I know
the Israeli's do not want the world to know. But I will come if at all
possible. This seems a petty promise to me given the death and insanity
you are dealing with right now. I so very much want to meet you and I
will send this email to everyone I know and I will post it on www.P10K.net
as an update. Most important I will continue to work night and day to
bring the P10K Force to Palestine so that the world will know exactly who
the real "terrorist" is.

Much love and respect brother, do all that you can to stay safe and any
news you send me will be posted.
Truth Justice Peace!
Ken "Keefe
