Israel is bombing tents again with F35 jets.
They commit genocide with impunity.
There was no ceasefire, they broke it every single day.
They must be held to account.
Speak up. Take action.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
He literally gave his life documenting Israeli atrocities, and the day after his death they erase it all. It’s evil. They’re sending the message they will erase us. They justify and then conceal the war crimes, beyond complicity its collaboration in genocide.
It is clear that with this ceasefire Western governments and media want us all to let bygones be bygones.
Never. Israel committed a genocide, we all witnessed the most obscene violence it is possible to imagine, and we need to see the perpetrators locked up in The Hague.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro announces sweeping measures after two Colombian citizens were detained by Israel while sailing on the Global Sumud Flotilla to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza:
– Expulsion of the entire Israeli diplomatic delegation
– Termination of Colombia’s free trade agreement with Israel
– Replacement of US-supplied weapons with national equipment
– Legal action in international and Israeli courts
Petro warned that Israel’s actions amount to “a new international crime” by Netanyahu, calling on global lawyers to support Colombia’s case.
Insane how Israel acts like pirates & terrorists; intercepting ships in INTERNATIONAL WATER in broad daylight, kidnapping every one on board, confiscating the vessels permanently, looting all cargo on the ships... all without a single condemnation from world leaders!
Just incredible. The most outstanding example of direct action we have seen in our lifetimes. And in the face of a genocidal army. We should all take huge strength and inspiration
You’re missing one key word: ILLEGALLY
Israel is VIOLATING INTERNATIONAL LAW by starving Palestinians, blocking the flotilla and kidnapping humanitarians.
Headline after headline fails to mention that seizing the ships and kidnapping humanitarians violates international law. Instead the articles repeat Israeli propaganda.
This is how Western media normalizes Israel’s crimes.
I write as former Head of Maritime Section of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office
and Alternate Head of UK Delegation to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea Prepcom.
1) The flotilla is on the High Seas and not in Israel's 12 mile territorial sea. Israel has no jurisdiction.
2) The Israeli maritime blockade has been in place for 17 years and is an intrinsic part of the long term occupation found illegal in the ICJ advisory opinion
3) It is therefore not a short term measure in time of armed conflict as specified in the San Remo manual
4) In any event the San Remo rules explicitly state that humanitarian supplies may not be blockaded
5) The UN Commission of Inquiry has already determined that Israel is committing genocide. The blockade is plainly a part of the machinery of such genocide.
For reasons 1 to 5 the Israeli attack on the flotilla is plainly illegal.
6) On the High Seas, the law applying on each ship is the law of its flag state. An attack by a state military warship on a vessel on the High Seas is an attack on the flag state of the vessel attacked.
7) Acts of illegal possession of vessels or abduction of crew on the High Seas should be pursued by each flag state as crimes within their domestic jurisdiction, not only in international law.
8) So the Metropolitan Police and DPP have an obligation to investigate and act over the abduction of persons from UK flagged vessels on the High Seas.
This applies to each flag state mutatis mutandi.
I hope you find this helpful.
If you’re watching this I have been illegally detained by Israel, for trying to deliver baby formula, food and medicine to Gaza. Demand our government uphold international law and hold Israel to account.
Remember everyone, the journey does not stop at interception.
We must do everything in our power to hold our governments accountable, and remind the world that this is all happening because Israel has been allowed to commit war crimes with impunity.
End the genocide.
