Dutch activist Jesse Aletta van Schaik, who was onboard the Global Sumud Flotilla, says Israel ILLEGALLY KIDNAPPED her and hundreds of others.
“They took off my shirt. Took pictures. Mistreated us all night long.”
“Handcuffs on my hands and feet. They DRAGGED me on the ground when I couldn’t walk.”
“They HIT us. Hurt all of us. The handcuffs were so tight my hands lost feeling.”
“They are SUPER SADISTIC.”
“Shame on every government that keeps trading with Israel. Europe is COMPLICIT. The whole world is COMPLICIT.”
🚨🇩🇪🇮🇱🇵🇸A German activist who is a member of the Sumud Flotilla:
• "Imagine how they treat the Palestinian people if this is how they treated me as a German citizen."
• "They beat me every day, denied me food and water, and deprived us of basic hygiene products."
• "Despite the abuse, we will keep moving forward. Freedom for the Palestinian people!"
At least 15 cases of sexual assaults, including rape.
Shot with rubber bullets at close range.
Tens of people’s bones broken.
While the world’s eye is trained on the suffering of our participants, we cannot emphasize enough that this is a mere glimpse of the brutality israel imposes daily on Palestinian hostages.
Don’t let up. Statements of condemnation are not enough. This moment must be seized by people worldwide to apply the necessary pressure to end this colonial violence. Pressure officials. Escalate boycott and divestment tactics. Organize direct action.
“Please, if this can be a lightning rod moment, let it be that … join us wherever you are and rise up so that we can end this occupation, end this colonialism, end this violence.”
Free Palestine NOW.
A Global Sumud Flotilla participant just testified from the depths of an Israeli detention center
"I was illegally kidnapped by Israel - like 425 other people."
"Handcuffs on my hands and feet. Dragged me. When I couldn't walk, they dragged me on the ground."
"They hit us. Hurt all of us a lot. Handcuffs so tight my hands lost feeling."
"They laughed all the time. Super sadistic."
"Took off my shirt. Took pictures. Mistreated us all night long."
Then she delivered her message to the world:
"Shame on you. Shame on all of you. Shame on every government that keeps trading with Israel. My government is complicit. Europe is complicit. The whole world is complicit."
🚨 Warning: distressful content!
Those genocidal maniacs RAPED humanitarian activist trying to take food and medicine to children in Gaza! And the worst is that even this they escalate to much worse forms with the 9000 Palestinians in israeli dungeons (almost 400 children)!
