Israel will not stop its deceitful actions until it completely eliminates Palestine. By arresting the Global Freedom Flotilla convoy, Israel thinks it has done the right thing, but in reality this is a terrible act of oppression. The convoy carried nothing except food and basic supplies.
The purpose of initiatives like the Global Freedom Flotilla is to deliver food and essential items to the besieged people of Gaza on humanitarian grounds. The Israeli army’s raid and blockade of such convoys is, in fact, a violation of international law and human rights.
It is also true that Israel often tries to justify these actions in the name of “security,” but in practice this is part of a strategy to further isolate and weaken the Palestinian people. Gaza is already facing one of the worst humanitarian crises, where clean water, electricity, medicine, and even basic necessities are severely lacking.
Movements like the Flotilla are launched worldwide in order to draw the attention of the international community to these injustices and to provide relief to the Palestinian people.
