Eighteen years ago today, our two small boats landed in Gaza, the first boats to visit this slice of the Mediterranean in 41 years. This one-minute clip, filmed by passenger Courtney Sheetz, shows our sheer joy as the shores of Gaza come closer.
That’s Maria del Mar Fernandez saying, “I can see Gaza, Oh, my God, Oh, my God.” Palestinian boats came out to greet us; 40,000 Palestinians lined the shores of the port as we sailed into port.
And that last shot is me, Greta Berlin, saying, “I can’t believe we made it,” to Dr. Mona Al Fara and her brother, Mushier, who was on the Free Gaza.
Swiss national Samuel Crettenand, co-organizer of the World March to Gaza and the Global Sumud Flotilla, is confronting government officials about Switzerland’s complicity in the genocide perpetrated by Israel.

Moroccans denounce being stopped and deported by Egyptian police at Cairo airport despite having valid tourist visas.
This comes at the same time as thousands are expected to participate in the Sumoud convoy to #Gaza.

🔴⚡️URGENT : ❌⚠️LA SITUATION EST ABSOLUMENT CATACLYSMIQUE À GAZA.
Le monde est confronté à une catastrophe historique à tous égards. Des centaines de milliers de palestiniens meurent et suffoquent de faim, c’est l’anarchie totale. La situation est totalement hors de contrôle.

L’émotion est immense à l’écoute des noms des martyrs, lus par des Palestiniens.
Sur le parvis des Droits de l’Homme, l’intensité est palpable : les noms résonnent, symboles puissants d’un peuple qu’on tente de déshumaniser et de priver de ses droits fondamentaux.
Merci aux blouses blanches pour Gaza
Un jour, si l’on apprend que la signification du mot Bahloul (idiot, bouffon, crétin) a déteint sur la personnalité de Julien Bahloul, qui serait vraiment surpris ?
Depuis des années quand je me rends dans une librairie je demande régulièrement au libraire s’il a des auteurs / autrices palestiniens / palestiniennes ou des livres qui traitent du sujet, je suis systématiquement frappée par le fait qu’il y ait si peu de références disponibles pour les lecteurs et lectrices. C’était sans savoir que le @Le_CRIF s’amusait à demander aux libraires de retirer des livres qui parlent de la Palestine.
Je participerai le mardi 18 février à 19h à un live Tik Tok, organisé par @1Camelias, en compagnie de Gamal Abina, sur le thème du naufrage médiatique appliqué à #Gaza
Viendez nombreux ! 😁

JFK : le secret d’État qui ne doit jamais sortir
Jacques Baud sur @Tocsin_Media lâche une bombe : ni la CIA, ni la mafia, ni les militaires ne seraient derrière l’assassinat de Kennedy.
Alors qui ? Un État étranger. Un allié si proche que révéler la vérité ferait vaciller la confiance… et exposer l’influence réelle de cet acteur sur les États-Unis.
60 ans après, les documents restent classifiés. Pas pour protéger des individus, mais pour éviter un séisme géopolitique.
Qui est donc cet allié si proche de Washington ? Il n’y en a pas 36 🤨
The University of Munich has canceled my talk, a decision I hope they will reconsider. If not, I look forward to seeing you elsewhere, German friends. May freedom of expression and your right to be informed prevail.

@AliAbunimah Dear Ali @AliAbunimah bunimah, I arrived 5 min after your kidnapping. I experienced similar police violence in Switzerland in December 2023 during my hunger strike to denounce the genocide of the Palestinians. We will not be silent!

I’m free! I wrote this on the plane and I’m posting it just after landing at Istanbul. On Monday evening I was brought to Zurich airport in handcuffs, in a small metal cage inside a windowless prison van and led all the way to the plane by police. This is after three days and two nights in a Swiss prison cut off from communication with the outside world, in a cell 24 hours a day with one cell mate, not even permitted to contact my family. On Saturday in a police interview in the presence of my lawyer they accused me of “offending against Swiss law” without ever telling me what crime I had committed in Switzerland or listing any charges. As far as I know I have not been charged with any crime whatsoever and I was held in “administrative detention.” On Sunday morning, they took me from my cell for questioning by Swiss defense ministry intelligence agents without the presence of my lawyer, and they again refused to allow me to contact her or my family. I refused to talk to them without my lawyer and told them take me back to my cell. During my imprisonment I refused every meal and every cup of coffee or tea they offered me except the last meal, after I knew I would be going home. I accepted only water, which is the right of every human being. All of this was after I was abducted off the street around 1:30pm on Saturday while on my way to the Palestine teach-in by undercover agents, handcuffed, forced into an unmarked car and sped straight to the prison. My “crime”? Being a journalist who speaks up for Palestine and against Israel’s genocide and settler-colonial savagery and those who aid and abet it. I came to Switzerland at the invitation of Swiss citizens to talk about justice for Palestine, to talk about accountability for a genocide in which Switzerland too is complicit. But while I was hauled off to prison like a dangerous criminal before I even had a chance to say a word, the Israeli president Isaac Herzog, who declared at the start of the genocide that there are no civilians in Gaza, no innocents, received a red carpet welcome in Davos, a carpet soaked in the blood of the more than 47,000 known victims of the genocide and the thousands more still under the rubble, or who died of deliberately inflicted starvation and denial of medical care. And on this very day Netanyahu freely travels to Poland to make a mockery of the Auschwitz commemoration despite an outstanding ICC arrest warrant. That is the perverse, unjust world we live in. This ordeal lasted three days but that taste of prison was more than enough to leave me in even greater awe of the Palestinian heroes who endure months and years in the prisons of the genocidal oppressor. More than ever I know that the debt we owe them is one we can never repay and all of them must be free and they must remain our focus. The police gave me my phone back only at the gate of the plane so I’m only seeing now the extent of the overwhelming support and solidarity from all over the world. I’m deeply grateful to each and every person who stood up for me. I’m especially grateful to my lawyer Dina Raewel and her team, to our friends in Zurich who I learned afterwards demonstrated outside the prison, to my family and my colleagues at EI and so many others. I honestly had no idea what was happening outside that concrete room! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I want to tell the whole story of what happened, perhaps in an @intifada livestream in the next day or two, because I think it’s important for people to know the depths to which their Western so-called “democracies” have sunk in the abject service of genocidal Zionism. Right now I’m glad to be on my way home. I’m looking forward to hugging my mom and dad, taking a shower and sleeping in my own bed. Journalism is not a crime! Speaking out for Palestine is not a crime! Standing against racist genocidal Zionism is not a crime! Say it with me:
From the River to the Sea Palestine Will Be Free! ❤️🇵🇸✌️
