I am seeing messages from people thinking of organizing the next flotilla to Gaza. They can't stop all of us. Get organized. The ordinary citizens and people of conscience of this world are powerful when we are organized.
🚨BREAKING:
After forcing people to stand in lines under the pretext of “organizing aid distribution,” armed, Israel-backed, ISIS-linked gangs opened fire on civilians, killing and wounding several in Rafah, southern Gaza.
Incase you missed it:
Israeli soldiers are the ones taking depraved selfies sometimes even wearing women’s underwear.
Israel intercepted the Madleen Freedom Flotilla in international waters, which is illegal.
They kidnapped 12 activists, including a European diplomat Rima Hassan.
Israel continues the illegal naval blockade.
EU Parliament member Rima Hassan smiled throughout the entire “arrest,” looking the Israelis straight in the eyes.
She posted previously: “When they come to arrest us, I will look at them the way Larbi Ben M'Hidi looked at the colonizers of his land: calm, confident in the liberation of Palestine.
They are the occupiers of this land; we are its roots.”
🚨BREAK THE SIEGE:
A major solidarity convoy called “Al-Soumoud” (Steadfastness) set off from Tunis early Monday, June 9, on a historic journey toward Gaza. Nearly 1,000 Tunisians, joined by activists from Algeria, Libya, and Mauritania, are traveling overland through Libya and Egypt to reach the Rafah crossing.
The convoy includes doctors, lawyers, journalists, students, and aid workers. Organized by the Joint Action Coordination for Palestine, the mission aims to break the siege on Gaza and push for the entry of humanitarian aid, medical teams, and journalists.
People are twisting themselves into pretzels to defend "israel" saying they will block the freedom flotilla bc they "didn't get permission" to go to Gaza, but lose their minds when you point out that this proves that Palestine is being occupied and blockaded by "israel".
🇵🇸 The land convoy to Gaza will include delegations from Mauritania, Morocco, and Algeria, and thousands from Tunisia and Libya. The convoy has registered the participation of more than 7,000 people of various Maghreb nationalities as of 30 May (NewsArab)
Dear world, this is what matters now:
1. Keep writing, posting, and sharing about the 12 heroes to pressure Israel to release them immediately.
2. Start preparing more ships, everywhere. If they stop one, a hundred must follow. If they capture 12, then thousands will rise.
imprisoning them for being in INTERNATIONAL WATERS while trying to bring aid to Gaza. but no. isr*el isn't an occupying force and isn't forcibly starving Palestinians.
Israeli media report that Israeli prison authorities are preparing to imprison activists from the Madaleen ship, arranging separate detention cells for them at Givon Prison in Ramla in occupied Palestine.
1. sandwiches and water don’t make up for the fact that you intercepted their ship in violation of international law.
2. hilarious to see you lot saying “selfie yacht” while your soldiers are known to photograph themselves committing war crimes. call it the selfie army, perhaps?
again, i get that it’s usually well-intentioned, but it’d be great to stop saying “hardworking immigrants” as it implies that immigrants should only be valued for labor, & specifically for citizens + the state, when immigrants should be treated well because we are, well, people
