Tehran – Israeli forces sailed as part of aid fleet heading for Gaza and detained hundreds of passengers. Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) was trying to break Israel’s 18-year-old Gaza blockade and use ships sailing from Mediterranean ports to receive assistance to war-torn enclaves, CNN reported.
The convoy departed from Barcelona, Spain on August 31, and as it approached Gaza, it was strengthened by other activist ships from various Mediterranean ports.
Among the participants were Spanish and Italian lawmakers, as well as Swedish climate activist Greta Samberg.
Butchers call the aid fleet “terrorist fleet”
Israel said it was approaching an “active combat zone” to justify intercepting the boat. The Israeli War Minister Katz said he congratulated the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) and neutralised the “terrorist fleet.”
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also said the military “repelled the outlawing campaign against Israel.”
Based on Katz’s words that Spanish and Italian lawmakers, French MEP Lima Hassanas, former Barcelona mayor Ada Kollou, and climate activist Tamburg and other European officials are “terrorists,” but those who destroyed about 90% of Gaza’s buildings opposed a population of 2.3 million, as they opposed a population of 2.3 million.
Netanyahu’s words also openly acknowledge that his administration is acting illegally, illegally and illegally throughout Palestine as a whole and in Gaza in particular.
It is not the first time an Israeli raid has raided a convoy bound to Gaza. In June it intercepted the Fleet of Freedom, carrying Samberg and other prominent activists. In May, activists on the FCC ship said they were targeted by Israeli drones in international waters off Malta.
In 2010, 13 years before the onset of the current Gaza War, Israeli forces attacked aid fleets in international waters, killing nine Turkish citizens.
The GSF emphasizes Gazan’s indescribable suffering
The GSF consists of over 500 participants (participants mainly from European countries) and aims to deliver food, water and medicine to Gaza civilians. But this is not a whole story.
They primarily emphasize the wildness of Israel, which has been slaughtered in Gaza and starved hungry civilians.
They send this message to the world that Israel is a Parian nation and that the world is angry at Israel’s heinous conduct in Gaza. Indirectly, they also show that staying silent in the face of these horrifying acts against Gazan is unacceptable, indicating that Israel’s actions in the enclave are an accomplice to war crimes.
James Smith, a British doctor who was previously in the fleet, joined in to protest “the illegal siege of Israel and the blockade of Gaza.”
“This is a form of direct action, a form of anti-colonial resistance,” said Smith, who worked at Al-Aqsa Hospital in Gaza for 2.5 months.
“The fleet carries humanitarian aid, but it’s not just humanitarianism,” Smith told CNN.
Commentarily, Israel’s Foreign Ministry said it had found a document in Gaza that it “proves Hamas’ direct involvement” in funding and enforcement of the fleet.
Ironically, Israel is usually ready to justify unfounded claims. For example, there is no starvation in Gaza. Or Hamas operated a command center under Gaza’s largest hospital.
We repeat the story of Israel
In a post on X, Israel’s Foreign Ministry said that the activists’ “single purpose” was “provocation.” As always, the United States has rushed to support Israel in order to illegally intercept the convoy. The State Department parroted the Israeli story of aid convoys being “intentional and unnecessary provocations.”
There must now be some embarrassing European countries that support Israeli war machines in the Gaza Strip and have not yet repented their actions. They were on the wrong side of history. Leaders of these countries should notice that people have taken them to cities in the cities of Italy, Turkey, Greece, Tunisia, Germany, Holland, Brazil, Australia, the US, Malaysia, Caracas, Argentina, and other cities that denounce intake in Israel. These demonstrations show that the public has lost patience in Israel’s endless heinous acts.
Italy did not yet show that they have not yet been involved or are not likely to participate in other important European countries that have recently recognized the state of the Palestinian state. If the enclave continues siege of the enclave and the fearsome acts against the Palestinians of Gaza continue, the GSF will not be the last aid convoy to defy Israel, sail towards Gaza, and place Palia and Israeli occupation regimes in a more complicated queenary.
