Global Sumud Flotilla sails to Gaza. Greta Thunberg: I’m not scared of Israel / फ्लोटिला ने प्रतिरोध की छवि और नैतिक साहस की परिभाषा ही बदल दी है

NB: Along with the millions of people in the world who have protested against the genocide; this flotilla of activists, suported by workers unions all over Europe have shown that humanity has not yet surrendered its conscience. I salute these noble souls for their courage, determination and their solidarity with the suffering people of Palestine. Mahatma Gandhi would have been with you on this voyage of mercy. Thank you for restoring our faith in humanity. God bless you all. DS

“I’m not scared of Israel. I’m scared of a world that has seemingly lost all sense of humanity and what we are doing here is trying to show that there is still some humanity left’

“The closer we get to Gaza, the higher is the risk of escalations and more attacks. The last weeks, we have seen numerous escalated attacks against our mission that has damaged several boats where drones have been dropping explosions, chemicals and unidentified objects on and around boats in a desperate attempt to intimidate us and to silence and scare those who are standing in solidarity with Palestine to further dehumanize Palestinians.”

Gaza aid flotilla is currently using about 50 civilians boats to try to break Israel’s naval blockade on the enclave. This is the third time Thunberg travels in a boat that attempts to break through the blockade.

Thunberg accused Israel of “systematically” starving Gaza and cited a U.N. commission’s findings as evidence of genocide, urging governments to halt arms transfers and apply “real pressure.”

Israel denies committing genocide, says its blockade is aimed at preventing arms from reaching Hamas, and has accused flotilla activists of complicity with the militant group.

Italy and Spain have dispatched navy ships after an incident off the Greek island of Gavdos, while Greece has said it will guarantee safe passage for boats currently in its waters and has notified Israel that Greek citizens are on board.
