On the night of July 19 or early morning July 20, a rope was discovered tightly wound around the boat's propeller. This could not have occurred through normal use or by accident. It was a direct threat to the safety of our vessel and its ability to sail.

Even more dangerous, on the morning of July 20, the truck sent to deliver fresh water to our boat for washing and cooking on the journey, carried not water, but sulfuric acid. It splashed on a crew member's leg, causing chemical burns. Another crew member who smelled the substance and opened the container sustained burns to his hand

wtf mossad in turkey

You'd think that nato countries would be more worried about the fact that the Israelis have infiltrated civilian infrastructure enough that they can sabotage and weaponize common goods like pagers and water deliveries, surely this will never come back to haunt us

Wouldn’t even be surprised if it was revealed that Mossad is actually the Turkish intelligence arm, they only help out Israel

Chris said in the video that it is expected to take 6 or 7 days before it reaches Gaza if the Zionist Entity does not intercept again. There are 21 crew members on the ship, including 6 US citizens. Chris said that previous Gaza flotillas had never had as many people from the US.

They'll intercept it. The only question is if the intercept will be at a few knots or hundreds...

If anyone hasn't seen it, the documentary "Union" about his fight to unionize a warehouse in New York (Jersey?) Is a great watch

has twitter ever been such a shitty place? i have not found ONE single reply that isn't genocide apologia. half of them are straight up saying KILL THESE SELFIE KIDS AND ALL THE PALESTINIAN TERRORISTS. like jesus christ what is wrong with people? i must gaslight myself into thinking surely all of them are israeli bots otherwise i cannot in good conscious continue to believe in the good of humanity.

Consider that it's known that the hasbara machine includes paying people to post pro-genocide talking points on social media, so a lot of what you see can be people being paid to post that stuff, and some of them might be useful idiots who have heard the lie too many times and have interiorized it. It's better to assume that every comment section has been astroturfed to shit and that nothing online is organic engagement anymore.
