A group of civilians recently sought to take aid to Gaza by sea with the Freedom Flotilla.

Israeli occupation pirates, however, illegaly abducted them in international waters on 9 June.

The kidnappers have proceeded to torture some hostages – including European Parliament member Rima Hassan – with solitary confinement. Hassan and Brazilian hostage Thiago Ávila also launched a hunger strike in response to their unlawful treatment.

Well this is worrying.

Posted by UNRWA in the last hour.

#GazaHolocaust #FreePalestine

WE HAVE LOST ALL CONTACT WITH OUR UNRWA COLLEAGUES IN GAZA, COMMUNICATIONS HAVE BEEN CUT OFF.

THIS MORNING, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MONTHS, WE DID NOT RECEIVE THEIR MORNING MESSAGES TO SAY "GOOD MORNING" AND "WE ARE FINE/ALIVE"

This video just posted by the Dutch delegation in Egypt, being forcibly deported to their home countries. They're currently on flights home.

How is this even legal?

88 years later the 1937 poem "Slough" by Sir John Betjeman is almost like it was written for someone else.

Let me give you a clue...

Come friendly bombs and fall on <redacted>!
It isn't fit for humans now,
There isn't grass to graze a cow.
Swarm over, Death!

Come, bombs and blow to smithereens
Those air -conditioned, bright canteens,
Burgers, burgers, burgers, burgers
Tinned minds, tinned breath.

"Lara, speaking from Brazil, has had no contact with her husband, Thiago Ávila, since he was abducted and detained illegally by Israeli forces from the 'Madleen'. Since then, Thiago has been placed in solitary confinement, denied communication with his family."

#Gaza Yet more reports of IDF soldiers shooting at, killing and wounding people looking for food at Nitzarim Corridor. Things are just getting worse and worse and worse and Western governments and elites (it is them) sit by, do nothing, send more weapons, watch, ridicule the “selfie yacht”. It is the most disgusting horrific real life #HungerGames

From solidarity to action:
The Global March to Gaza unites the world against Israel’s genocide : Peoples Dispatch June 10, 2025

In sum, the convergence of the Global March to Gaza and the Tunisian convoy represents a pivotal moment in the history of international grassroots solidarity with Palestine. This is not merely a march to a border, it is a march toward the conscience of the world, reviving the power of direct action and sending a message to those under siege in Gaza: You are not alone. From Tunis to Dublin, from Cape Town to Krakow, people are rising for Gaza, carving pathways of solidarity and defiance against siege and injustice.

More international activists are making their way toward Gaza, this time by land, in an effort to break the Israeli siege. On Sunday, a Tunisian-led road convoy of activists, lawyers and medical professionals started the journey from Tunis toward the Rafah crossing in Egypt. This is organizer Wael Naouar.

"Witnesses confirmed that the Israeli military attacked them from “multiple directions”, Abu Azzoum said, adding that Israeli drones, tanks, and snipers have been deployed to the isolated aid sites"

We called it the Gaza Sea even though it is part of the Mediterranean, because Israel isolated us from the world and made us believe that it was unreachable. The Freedom Flotilla broke that spell.
