◆Global Sumud Flotilla
AYA🤍
@rania40
Hats off to Katharine (Katreno) Graham, the young Irish woman who defied the fascist Ben Gaver when he tried to insult the prisoners of the Freedom Flotilla, shouting in his face: "Freedom for Palestine!" before being violently pushed and thrown to the ground.

“We were tortured. 180 people were systematically bashed and beaten. People had broken ribs, were sexually assaulted, tased in the face, and injected with unknown sedatives.”
Global Sumud Flotilla activist Juliet Lamont described severe abuse by Israeli occupation forces after activists attempting to break the siege on Gaza were attacked in international waters and abducted aboard prison ships.
Lamont said detainees were subjected to a “planned campaign of violence” aimed at terrifying activists and preventing future solidarity missions to Gaza.
She recounted being cable tied, water tortured, and sexually assaulted while held by Israeli forces before being transferred to Ashdod.
“They’ve broken our bones but they haven’t broken our soul,” Lamont said. “Free Palestine.”

Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand in a tweet on X:
"I have just received information from my officials which details the appalling abuse of Canadians who were detained in Israel.
Canada unequivocally condemns the grave mistreatment of Canadians in Israel. Those responsible for this egregious abuse must be held accountable. We will continue to provide additional information as it becomes available."

Italian Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Danilo Della Valle said on Thursday that he and 28 other lawmakers had called on the European Union to impose human rights sanctions on Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and others responsible for abuses against the Global Sumud Flotilla activists.
In a statement shared on X, Della Valle said the lawmakers sent a letter to European Council President Antonio Costa urging the activation of the EU's global human rights sanctions regime.
"The first activists from the Flotilla who have returned home have reported extremely serious incidents: public exposure in handcuffs and chains, physical and psychological violence, degrading treatment and violations of human dignity," he wrote.

Polish Foreign ministry spokesperson calls for Poland to ban National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir from entering the country after outrage in Warsaw over the detention of Gaza flotilla activists.
Earlier, the Polish minister had summoned the Israeli chargé d'affaires over the detention of the activists, including Polish nationals, demanding their immediate release and an apology.

We lost our hearts in this war…
Today, I stood by the hospital window, desperately trying to scatter my thoughts away from the pain that mercilessly devours our souls. A cold breeze brushed against my face, and my whole body trembled, as though sorrow had turned into a painful current running through my veins.
I lifted my eyes to the scene around me: faded walls, exhausted faces, and destruction stretching into every corner… Yet in that moment, I realized that the destruction of hearts was far worse than any rubble, deeper than anything this war had torn apart.
I felt my tears burning down my cheeks, so I lowered my gaze to my hand covered with medical tape and pressed it tightly, as if trying to awaken something inside me that had died long ago. For months, pain has piled upon my chest like endless mountains, until today I felt that the suffering had finally reached my heart itself… I can feel it screaming silently, twisting in agony no one can hear.
I quickly wiped away my tears, hiding my brokenness from those around me; everyone here carries their own war, every soul is drowning in its own battle, and no one has the luxury of fully listening to another person’s pain. In this war, grief has become a secret we bury deep inside ourselves… either we suffocate it with patience, or it slowly destroys us.
I looked again at the life around me and realized how everything has changed. We once lived something that resembled life… but now, we live only pain. I lost my brothers, my friends, my teacher, and the person who held me together whenever life became too heavy. Yet the days continue to move forward with painful, exhausted steps, as though time itself is bleeding with us.
I remembered the dream that visited me this afternoon, when the pain in my head pulled me into a state that felt like drifting far away from this world. I saw myself in a peaceful place, a world embracing those who had left us. I saw my brother, and I threw myself into his arms, crying bitterly as I told him everything that had happened after he was gone, everything that shattered us afterward. I saw my other brother gently stroking my head with the tenderness I had missed for so long, while my teacher stood tall as I had always known him, smiling with a steadiness that filled the heart with peace.
I remember wiping my tears there while looking at them, wishing with all my heart that I could stay with them… far away from this world burdened with loss and disappointment. My teacher said to me in a calm voice that felt like peace itself:
“Do not be afraid… we are with you, and you are not alone.”
I stared at them and cried while my heart whispered in aching desperation:
Keep me here with you… I do not want to go back.
I would rather choose death than lose them again.
This life has exhausted me to the point of fading away.
Then I woke from that beautiful dream… into a reality far crueler. I opened my eyes to a room filled with the smell of medicine and the IV connected to my hand, and I broke down in tears. I only wanted to return… to that place where, even for a few moments, I felt that I was not alone.
This war did not only destroy cities… it destroyed us too. It tore apart our hearts and stole every beautiful thing from our souls. We lost our loved ones, our dreams, and our peace… and even I feel myself fading away little by little, like a candle silently melting in the last hours of the night.

Empty markets, soaring malnutrition, power outages, collapsing hospitals, and shuttered aid kitchens reveal the devastating impact of restricting life-saving supplies by Israel. With food stocks dangerously depleted and more than 1.5 million people facing direct threats of hunger, families across Gaza Strip are being pushed toward famine while relying entirely on dwindling relief assistance. https://mastodon.neometropolis.net/@QudsNen/116620182893180872 AYA🤍 @[email protected] My friends, we've been here for two days without cooking gas or even a flame to light a fire to cook something simple for the family. Two days of hunger. Everything here is harsh. Please help us buy cooking gas, which is very expensive because the occupation prevents its entry except in very small quantities. *Attached movie is from this post. https://chuffed.org/project/161851 ‼️$0.00‼️for 7 days Ansam "OmSham"🇵🇸🕊️ @[email protected] **Yesterday, I went to the market to buy Friday lunch… Unfortunately, the price of one chicken was $30.
