A new wave of flotillas are sailing towards Gaza as one vessel, the Conscience, carries 92 participants, including paramedics and journalists from 26 countries.

After being obstructed in April and struck by drones near Malta earlier this year, the Conscience sets its sights on reaching Gaza's desperate civilians.

The first flotilla wave was illegally intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters, and over 450 activists, including Greta Thunberg and French MEP Rima Hassan, were illegally detained.

Israel has now begun deporting participants as the second wave continues its journey.

The Conscience and ten other vessels continue on their path despite threats, carrying a message of resistance and hope.

NEW: Since October 2023, the Israeli government has deliberately denied Palestinians in Gaza the minimum water needed for survival, most likely resulting in thousands of deaths.

A calculated policy.

An act of genocide. 🧵⤵️

Today, Mazen’s body was laid to rest in Damascus. It is the final chapter in the life of a man who was murdered three times and born anew four..

Do not dehumanize Syrians. They are not just a piece of geopolitics on a map

[Dima Khatib @Dima_Khatib]

Thousands of detainees are coming out of the notorious Sadnaya Prison near Damascus. People in Syria knew if you ever ended up there you would either never come out or you would die under torture. Historic

Thank you, Mayor @AHammoudMI, for speaking up. Our community is already in so much pain right now. This racism will incite more hate + violence against our Arab & Muslim communities, and it makes everyone less safe. It’s disgraceful that the media continues to normalize this racism.

The @MichiganDems are telling people they have already given #huwaida4umich the “raw data.”

This is FALSE. The MDP only gave us their final data which includes all the manual adjustments they spent over 2 hrs making. That file had 174 more voters than were credentialed to vote.
