Do not prevent Americans from traveling to the Gaza Strip

I hope you get to go to Gaza, Lora x

Please let her cross. She is doing important humanitarian work.

By preventing people from going to Gaza, you're showing the world that you condone all the hardships that the Gazans go through everyday of their lives. As long as some American citizens want to go for humanitarian purposes, I don't think it's wise to prevent them.

The U.S. Embassy in Cairo is totally neglecting their responsibility to an American citizen.

Prohibiting our citizens from doing good is NOT the "American Way".

Do let people in to areas they wish to travel. It is their life and choice. If they do not intend any illegal activities toward other human beings, let them be.

Important to go there

Build bridges, not walls. :-)

Yes! And stand on the side of justice!

Shukran (thank you) Ellen for signing my petition. When I return to Gaza, I hope to share what I see and learn about the situation there. Hmmmm! Maybe that's why the US doesn't want to assist Americans traveling to Gaza.

Marsha --- I agree completely. It's time to shine a light on Gaza and let people see what is really happening there. The mainstream media doesn't do it justice.

Thank you Joyce ..... I appreciate your support! If you know others who might sign, please share my petition with them. Happy New Year!

teddy ..... I think Israel, the US and Egypt are all in cahoots to keep Americans out of Gaza. :-(

Thank you always for your steadfast support. Peace and justice in 2016!

Thank you Father for signing my petition. I hope I will be able to return to Gaza in 2016.

David, I believe there are many, many Americans who would choose to visit Gaza if access wasn't so difficult. Thank you for signing my petition. Please share it with your friends. My goal is 1000 ..... I need 300 more people like you. Happy New Year!

I agree completely Rob ....... bearing witness to the tragedies unfolding in Palestine is very important. Thank you for signing my petition.

Dear Naki, Thank you for signing my petition. You are right .... the Gaza Strip is just like an open air prison. Hopefully that will change in 2016.

Thank you Sally-Alice. I heard that the Rafah border was open only 22 days in 2015. Hopefully, the Egyptians, the Americans and the Israelis will facilitate greater ingress and egress for the Palestinians and foreigners who wish to visit Gaza in 2016.

Lora is a dedicated humanitarian. She should npt be detered from her work!
