#Flotilla Members Arrive in Turkey, Describe #Israel's Abuse of #GretaThunberg

by #CensoredNews , October 4, 2025

"Sunday morning update:

The Global Sumud Flotilla said 29 more participants were released today, Sunday, and flown to Spain, according to the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The released activists include citizens of Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands. So far, Greta Thunberg has not been released.

Flotilla members arriving in Turkey yesterday said they drank water from the toilet, women were imprisoned in dog cages, and they were woke up at night by snipers and German Shepherds, with
Israelis screaming, "We're going to shoot you." Their medicines were thrown away, Flotilla participants said in Istanbul upon arrival.

Greta Thunberg was treated the worst, and dragged by hair and abused. She remains in the violent Ktzi'ot prison in the Negev desert in Israel. Nelson Mandela's grandson is also imprisoned.

The first group of 137 from the Global Sumud Flotilla arrived in Turkey yesterday, and were greeted with bouquets of flowers in Instabul, most were Turkish and Malaysian. There were 470 illegally arrested in international waters. Only one U.S. citizen was released. Families Greta Thunberg, who came to Standing Rock in 2019 to support Water Protectors, is shown here
detained by Israel after being abducted in international waters on the #GlobalSumudFlotilla. Swedish officials said she is dehydrated from the lack of water and food in prison. Arriving in Turkey now, Turkish activists describe the brutal abuse of Greta by Israel.

Windfield Beaver of California arrived in Turkey and described Israel's abuse of Greta Thunberg, Reuters reports.

Ayçin Kantoglu said the women were kept in a dog shelter, denied food for three days, forced to drink toilet water, and that Greta was "beaten, had an Israeli flag tied to her back, and was paraded around
the room with her hands tied behind her back."

"The Israelis tormented Greta Thunberg, dragged her on the ground, and made her kiss the Israeli flag," said Turkish journalist and #SumudFlotilla activist Ersin Celik arriving in Turkey now.

"They wanted to make an example."
Greta Thunberg, who came to #StandingRock to support Water Protectors in 2019, was shackled and treated brutally.

Malaysian activist Hajwani Helmi said, “It was unbearable — they treated us like animals,” said Helmi, adding that detainees were denied food, clean water, and medicine throughout their detention.
A 70-year-old Scottish woman, arriving in Turkey with a broken leg, said she was given no food or water in prison, and the guard slammed a metal door on her broken leg.

"That prison was awful," said Margaret Pacetta from Glasgow upon arrival at the airport in Turkey.

Another woman arriving in Turkey said mothers had written the names of their children in blood on the prison walls.

"They locked us in animal cages."
"Walls had writings in blood in Arabic 'drink from the toilet."
"We were starved for 40 hrs."

#CreeDene #MskwaasinAgnew Onboard #FreedomFlotilla 'Letter on the Siege on
#Gaza'

#CensoredNews, September 21, 2025

" 'This #WarriorFlag was actually at #StandingRock,' said Mskwaasin Agnew, Cree Dene on the Freedom Flotilla to Gaza today. This flag also flew at the Wet'suwet'en's Gidimt'en Checkpoint. The
women also brought an #AnishinaabeFlag that flew at 1492 Land Back Lane at Six Nations. Remembering the photos of the Warrior flag in #Jabalia in Gaza, she said, 'This is a symbol of Global #IndigenousSolidarity, and Global Indigenous Solidarity means that none of us are free until all of us are free.' Agnew said, 'I have joined the #FreedomFlotillaCoalition to break the siege on Gaza with Dr. #SuzanneShoush and fellow comrades from Turtle Island. Break the siege on Gaza NOW! Solidarity to the global #IndigenousResistance."

#GazaAidFlotilla hit by #drone attacks and explosions, activists say

#Activists on board the #GlobalSumudFlotilla said they heard explosions and saw drone attacks late on Tuesday

By David Lee, 24 Sep 2025

"Organisers of the Global Sumud Flotilla, a Gaza-bound flotilla with pro-Palestinian activists on board carrying aid, reported hearing explosions and seeing multiple drone attacks from their boats situated off Greece from late Tuesday to the early hours of Wednesday.

" 'Multiple drones, unidentified objects dropped, communications jammed and explosions heard from a number of boats,' the Global Sumud #Flotilla said in a statement, without adding whether there were any casualties.

" 'We are witnessing these #PsychologicalOperations firsthand, right now, but we will not be intimidated.”

"Suited in a life jacket, Brazilian organiser #ThiagoAvila updated on his Instagram at midnight on Wednesday that a total of 10 attacks targeted multiple boats with #SoundBombs and #ExplosiveFlares. They were also sprayed with suspected #chemicals.

"US activist #GregStoker said his boat off the coast of Crete was also a target.

" 'Our boat was assailed by a #quadcopter that dropped a little popper on deck. A couple of other boats experienced that as well. Our VHF [very high frequency] radio was hijacked by adversarial comms, and they started playing Abba,' he said on Instagram.

"Israeli authorities have not publicly commented on the reports of drones, explosions or communications interference being used against the #flotilla."

BREAKING! #GazaAidFlotilla surrounded by explosions, hit with chemicals, as it nears #Gaza

#Indigenous women from the Amazon and throughout the south are aboard the #flotilla. "We will always defend our joy -- but that does not mean that we do not organize our rage." The colonizers crossed the sea to exploit them, and now they are crossing the sea to the sacred land of Palestine. "We survived the genocide of our original people," an Indigenous woman said. Their laughter and hope, songs and joy, move them forward.

"The Global Sumud Flotilla said the flotilla was surrounded by explosions, and hit with chemicals, as the flotilla of fifty ships is off the shore of Crete and nearing Gaza with humanitarian aid.
"Explosions, unidentified drones and communications jamming. We are witnessing these psychological operations firsthand, right now, but we will not be intimidated," the Flotilla said during the attacks between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. local time.

The lengths to which Israel and its allies will go to prolong the horrors of starvation and Genocide in Gaza are sickening. But our resolve is stronger than ever. These tactics will not deter us from our mission to deliver aid to Gaza and break the illegal siege. Every attempt to intimidate us only strengthens our commitment.

" 'We will not be silenced. We will continue to sail.'

"Australian's boat #LunaBark hit with explosives

" 'We are under attack.'

" 'My boat Luna Bark was hit with explosives, directly above our heads. The boat is damaged but other than some hearing loss, everyone onboard is ok and determined to carry on.

"12 other boats have been attacked with explosives dropped from drones. The #drones are still circling and we need you to act now.

"Raise the alarm to protect our peaceful humanitarian mission aiming break open Israel’s concentration camp and create a humanitarian corridor between the world and millions of people being forcibly starved to death in Gaza.

"We are a civilian mission acting in accordance with International Law. Our purpose is peaceful and in line with the recommendations of the world’s highest court, the International Court of Justice, human rights organisations across the globe, and basic human decency. #Israel’s impunity must end. The #genocide and mass forced #starvation must end.

"The brutal occupation and apartheid must end. Peace, justice and equality for all from the river to the sea. Act now to protect the @globalsumudflotilla ; help us carry on our solidarity mission to Palestine. But don’t let them distract you from Gaza. All eyes on Gaza, always."
