"CATANIA, Italy (#AP) — Climate campaigner #GretaThunberg and other 11 activists set sail on Sunday afternoon for #Gaza on a ship aimed at “breaking #Israel’s siege” of the devastated territory, organizers said.

The sailing boat Madleen – operated by activist group #FreedomFlotillaCoalition — departed from the Sicilian port of Catania, in southern Italy.

It will try to reach the shores of the Gaza Strip in an effort to bring in some aid and raise “international awareness” over the ongoing humanitarian crisis, the activists said at a press conference on Sunday, ahead of departure."

Why Jerusalem will outlive #Zionism's march of hate

No matter how brutal they become, #Israel's far-right agitators cannot erase what history, geography and faith have forged

"...#Israeli youths marched through the Muslim Quarter chanting “Death to Arabs”, “Flatten Gaza” and “There’s no school in #Gaza, there’s no children left”. Flagpoles were slammed against ancient doors, while marchers cursed the Prophet Muhammad and mocked the memory of #Palestine.

Not a single person was arrested for incitement."

"In speech addressing crowds at a Jerusalem Day rally on Monday, which celebrates Israel’s occupation of the old city of Jerusalem, Smotrich also called for “complete redemption” and reconstruction of “the Temple here,” referring to Al-Aqsa Mosque, which settlers had raided earlier.

“We are conquering the Land of Israel, liberating Gaza, settling Gaza and defeating the enemy,” #Smotrich said to crowds that had chanted “death to Arabs” as they marched through Jerusalem’s Old City and attacked #Palestinians. "
