🇮🇹 All roads truly led to Rome tonight in solidarity with the #GlobalSumudFlotilla.
Crowds filled the streets singing Bella Ciao, waving Palestinian flags, and showing the world that Italy has awakened. ❤️🇵🇸
Rome, you were beautiful tonight!
Brother of @gbsumudflotilla activist, @carsieblanton, speaks out tonight in NYC—demanding the release of the flotilla activists, acknowledging their resolve and highlighting that the world is waking up to demand an end to the brutal genocide in Gaza!
This is American activist, Chris Smalls. He worked in an Amazon warehouse for over four years.
In 2020 he was fired for protesting unsafe conditions and quarantine violations.
In 2021 he started the Amazon Labor Union calling for higher pay, better benefits, and better anti-discrimination policy.
In 2024 he joined the calls for a #FreePalestine. In June 2025 he boarded one of the original ships of the #FreedomFlotilla, whereby he got surrounded, beaten and captured by Israel Occupying Forces in international waters on his way to #Gaza, and was thrown in prison. In July 2025, Chris Smalls got out of prison to immediately join the #GlobalSumudFlotilla movement to try and reach Gaza once more! Chris Smalls is one of the detainees who were taken in by IOF yesterday and is with the rest of the #Flotilla members in Ashdod!
#FreeGaza
Israel is exterminating more than 2 mill people in Palestine without any consequences because it has the cover and support to do so from the USA, UK and EU.
Italy general strike against the genocide in Gaza - huge demos everywhere (Rome 300k, Milan 150k, Bologna and Florence 100k each, Naples 80k, etc) 2 million in total- roads, railways, harbours all blocked - the power of the working class
The French crowd gathers at Place de la République to denounce Israel’s kidnapping of the Global Sumud Flotilla activists and demand an end to the genocide in Gaza.
