No one should be banned to go help besieged people under illegal occupation

Israel only harms its image by closing the border with Gaza. Openness enhances democracy. When borders are closed minds follow.

I am appalled that Lora Lucero can not travel to the Gaza strip BECAUSE, as I understand it, the US Embassy in Cairo refuses to grant the necessary documentation.

We as Americans want to be able to cross the borders , to bring aid, and let the world know what the Palistinian plight is about.

U.S. citizens should not be blocked by the U.S. OR Israel from traveling to the Palestinian Occupied Territories and Gaza. Our work and witness in extremely important to Palestinians living under occupation.

Please assist Lora Lucero and other Americans who want to in going to Gaza and showing that Americans can help those in need. If Americans are to be truly safe and true to our professed values, we need to help make the world a better place instead of approaching everything as a military issue.

In November 2012, I traveled to Gaza from Egypt, and I received the written waiver from the U.S. Embassy in Cairo. Also, the Egyptian Press Office at that time provided press credentials to travel to Gaza, which I also received. It was so important that we (a delegation organised by Code Pink and Free Gaza) were able to witness and to share what we experienced. It is frightening to think that U.S. citizens will be denied the ability to show support and report on the situation in Gaza. The current U.S. policy is an outrage and only serves to further isolate the people of Gaza.

Why is Egypt collaborating with Israel?
How can its "Palestinian brothers" count on its support?

Stop supporting the blockade of Gaza Strip. Lora Lucero is a most peaceful person and she and others should be allowed entrance.

Palistine/Gaza is occupied territory and is being isolated by Israel. There is no valid excuse for this. Allowing teachers to help out is the least that can be done.

Whatever can be done to help support people in Gaza must be done - they are in an open air prison. The world needs witnesses and the US must change its , or the US will be considered a terrorist

I'm ashamed of the US government's discrimination against Palestinians and the activists who want to help those in need.

If an American University teacher teaches in Gaza, this is effective personal Peace work. The US Consulate in Cairo should do everything helping her to finish her job!
