I have taken part in the Freedom Flotilla before. I am comitted to the Flotilla as a non- violent means of bringing attention to the suffering of the Palestinian People. As an aborginial person I understand what it means to be colonized. Taking land, restricting access to home land and undermining indigenous economies are acts on colonialism. This is wrong. As indigenous people we must support one another.
