This world was told a completely different story.
For decades, one side mastered the art of presenting itself as the victim and defence ,while the people living under siege and attack were heard as "terrorist".
You were sincere in your mission, heroes of breaking the siege. The strongest forces of oppression prevented you from reaching us, yet part of what you carried has made its way to Gaza.
Here, we see pieces of the "Sumud Flotilla" that were destroyed by the occupation. Among them are expensive solar panels, worth thousands of dollars, which arrived in Gaza today carrying a message to the bereaved and suffering families:
"The free people of the world stand with you, and they have not forgotten you, nor will they ever forget you."
Thank you to the heroes of the Freedom Flotillas from all around the world for your solidarity, courage, and humanity. 💙🇵🇸
They sailed to challenge Israel's siege of Gaza.
They returned with firsthand accounts of detention, abuse and the realities of confronting Israeli forces at sea.
Join APAN for a special online event with participants from the Global Sumud Flotilla as they share what happened onboard, why they took action, and what comes next in the fight to end the siege of Gaza.
Hear directly from those who put their bodies on the line in solidarity with Palestinians.

In my last book (La Luce del Risveglio, The Light of Awakening) I reflect, among others, on the GSF as part of the global sumud movement that has formed after the genocide, which is transforming the global conscience.

@RamAbdu From the boat Kasr-ı Sadabad, parts of which were washed up on shore in Khan Younis today.
The boat I was on with nineteen others before we were kidnapped in international waters.
@RamAbdu A boat off the shores of Alexandria, food supplies, and solar panels washing up on the shores of Gaza are testament to our determination to sail to Gaza.
Does anyone actually stop to ask what all these data centres are ACTUALLY for?
Hundreds and hundreds in nations across the world, all popping up at exactly the same time, and folks seem apathetic towards the real reason.
BREAKING: ISRAELI forces RAIDED the women’s dormitory at Birzeit University near Ramallah and ABDUCTED FOUR Palestinian FEMALE STUDENTS.
The students were identified as:
• Jolan Abu Awwad
• Natali Abu Dayya
• Laila Nael Khalil
• Sama Safi
The arrests came during an Israeli military raid on the town of Birzeit in the occupied West Bank.
To this very moment, I still cannot comprehend or believe what happened before my eyes.
I had set out on foot under an unbearable, suffocating heat, searching for food and basic necessities for my children and family—simply trying to keep them alive. As I was walking, in a single fleeting moment, the strike came suddenly and violently.
The area erupted into flames, shrapnel flew in every direction, and the air turned into a thick cloud of smoke and dust. Cries, screams, and desperate calls for help echoed from every side, while blood covered the ground in a scene far beyond what words can describe.
In just one second, everything changed. I had been on my way to find food, but instead I found myself carrying the remains and bodies of martyrs, and helping the wounded from among the rubble and blood.
We have come to breathe the smell of blood more than the oxygen itself. Our hands carry the martyrs more often than they carry food or water. Death is no longer something we hear about—it is something we witness, touch, and carry with our own hands every day.
The horror of that moment remains etched in my memory, and the blood and remains of the martyrs are a lasting testament to a tragedy that will never be erased from our hearts and minds.
🚨 BREAKING: Al Jazeera confirms Israel bombed a Lebanese hospital for the THIRD time. The ICU is completely destroyed.
A mother desperately rushed to find her premature baby alive amidst the rubble. Washington is fully complicit in these war crimes!
There was a point, 3 yrs ago, when Israel felt compelled to explain its attacks on hospitals. Then it realized Western govts aren’t fussed about such war crimes & Western media was happy to justify them. And so here we are: dozens of hospitals bombed in Gaza, Iran & Lebanon.
HOLY CRAP 🚨
Israeli tourist in Italy parks illegally right under a clear no parking sign.
Locals remind him.
He explodes in rage, tears the sign apart, and steals it.
It was promised to him 3000 years ago, after all.
Notice how not a single Muslim mistreated him, he was perfectly safe until the authorities calmly walked him out. I’m sure the Muslims were, in fact, scared, and well they should be. That flag is deadly for Muslims.
This is how Israelis respond worldwide when shown pictures of Gaza’s children.
Palestinians aren’t human to them. Only Jewish lives count.
The rest of us are animals.
BREAKING:
Israel is massively bombing the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon right now, in the middle of the night, with zero warning given to civilians.
Families are asleep in their homes.
No military targets. No justification.
Just Israeli bombs falling on civilian areas in the dark.
