❗️APPEAL❗️I call on all states with a Mediterranean port: SEND NAVIES NOW to protect the @gbsumudflotilla, escort it safely to Gaza, and BREAK THE SIEGE in what has become a ghetto of death! If not to stop a genocide, where people are being literally S.L.A.U.G.H.T.E.R.E.D, when?
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced that Spain will dispatch a naval vessel to support the Global Sumud Flotilla in route to Gaza.
In a related move, Italian MPs have compelled their government to deploy a naval ship to protect Italian citizens participating in the flotilla, amid escalating threats from the Israeli occupation
Wow.
This is absolutely huge.
After the attacks, Spain is offering direct military protection to the flotilla bringing humanitarian aid to Gaza.
So what now, Israel?
Are you going to risk acts of war against a European nation so you can attack humanitarian vessels?
It’s good to see more countries recognising Palestinian statehood.
It’s important but let’s be clear: it’s nowhere near enough.
What’s needed now is real action to stop the genocide and the famine, words that should never be normalised.
I am working at the UN to seek action.

Spain’s PM at Columbia University:
“Defending your country is one thing. But killing 60,000 civilians, bombing hospitals, and starving children to death is something else entirely.”
“We are witnessing one of the darkest tragedies of the 21st century unfold before our eyes.”
🇪🇸
“Can you imagine Israel burning your children alive?”
Spanish MEP Irene Montero confronted president of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen about her inaction against Israel.
I saw physical courage in the wars I covered. But I rarely saw moral courage, the courage of individuals to defy the machine, especially the military machine, to stand up for what is just and right, to defend the vulnerable and the weak, to name and condemn the crimes committed in their name, exhibited here by Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Aguilar and Former Army intelligence officer Josephine Guilbeau. This is what moral courage looks like.
