The Freedom Flotilla Coalition, along with the “Thousand Mudlines to Gaza” initiative, launched a ship of conscience, boldly challenging 92 staff from 26 countries (doctors, journalists, and human rights advocates) into Israel’s naval blockade.
The mission departs days after Israel has thwarted the global Smood fleet, seized 42 ships and detained more than 450 activists, including Greta Sanberg.
Activists reported Sunday that they jumped over the consciences of northern Alexandria and over the conscience, a show of forces they branded as threats. They say they are not upset.
His conscience had previously been struck by a drone in May off the coast of Malta. This is an attack that left scars on the hull and crew.
Onboard Medix declares that they are ready to treat injured Gaza if access is granted, but reporters intend to penetrate the information blackout of the siege.
Organizers argue that the mission is legal, non-violent and urgent. It involves opening the maritime corridor, bringing in critical supplies and exposing Israel’s attacks on Gaza’s crushed health system.
The ship’s sails, decorated with Tatreez embroidery, convey the message. In confronting Israel’s “suffocating siege,” the fleet bets itself as a living symbol of global solidarity with the besieged people of Gaza.
