Israeli Forces Spark Global Outrage by Intercepting Sumud Flotilla Off Gaza Coast

from Common Dreams

Israel intercepted multiple boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla seeking to bring humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip late Wednesday, generating outrage and displays of solidarity from across the globe. 

“History will side with the flotilla,” said former UK Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn, who remains in Parliament. “And their bravery will only inspire more people to join our global movement for Palestine.”

Turkey’s foreign ministry described the interception as a “terrorist act... which targeted civilians acting peacefully,” while Colombian President Gustavo Petro booted the entire Israeli diplomatic delegation from his country immediately following the news.

In Barcelona, hundreds of outraged protesters gathered outside the Israeli consulate. Similar scenes broke out in other cities around the world, including Istanbul and Brussels...

Colombia’s Petro expels Israeli diplomats over Gaza flotilla raid

from Daily Sabah

Colombian President Gustavo Petro ordered the expulsion of all Israeli diplomats from Colombia on Wednesday after Israeli forces detained two Colombian nationals aboard a flotilla attempting to break the Israeli blockade and deliver aid to the Gaza Strip.

Manuela Bedoya and Luna Barreto were part of the Global Sumud Flotilla's crew, an international effort that is trying to break a blockade and deliver aid to Gaza.

According to a statement from the Global Movement to Gaza, the Israeli military detained the women after the flotilla reached a high-risk area 150 nautical miles (172 miles) off the coast.

"After reaching 150 nautical miles... the maritime positioning of Israeli ships begins at 23:59 UTC (6.59 pm Colombia time)," said the statement, asserting that other flotillas have been "attacked or intercepted." It described it as "a violation of international law and the Geneva Accords."

Petro warned on the U.S. social media company, X, that if the reports were true, it would constitute "a new international crime by Benjamin Netanyahu." He said that "the Free Trade Agreement with Israel is immediately denounced."...

Global Sumud Flotilla has been Hijacked by Israeli Pirates as TrumpyBear Cheers

by Scott Creighton

UPDATE: the Mikeno is an aid ship so maybe some good will come of this for the people of Gaza 

Well that's it. For all it's promise and all the efforts from those on board and those left behind, for all the donations of food, supplies, aid and time... all of those resources are now the property of the Glorious IDF and will undoubtedly be taken straight to the West Bank and given to the rabid Zionist settler criminal scum. 

Why?

Because the steering committee had all the boats wait off the coast of Crete for 3 1/2 days until the Friendship Seas exercise was over before making way through that area on to Gaza.

They are all reported as either 'intercepted' or as 'presumed intercepted' today on the Global Sumud Flotilla tracker website. 

The GSF website claims a bunch of the boats got thru and I certainly hope that is the case, but unless they tossed their GPS tracking hardware overboard, those listed as 'presumed intercepted' don't seem to be going anywhere.Their live-stream is showing nothing but posters from months ago. 

According to the tracker, there is one boat, the Mikeno, flagged out of Ramallah, still making way to Gaza and currently moving at 0 knots inside Gaza's territorial waters.

It is unclear what or who it is carrying. 

Bomb Wearing “Homegrown Terrorist” is to S. 1959 as the Anthrax Attacks is to the Patriot Act (archive)

(Sounds an awful lot like what Pam Bondi and the Trump administration are fighting for now in the wake of the Charlie Kirk and Dallas ICE shootings, right?  S1957 made it through the House back then but failed in the Senate. ACLU argued it was some sort of pre-crime and would be used to muzzle dissent in the country, erasing our 1st amendment rights. And here we are again.)

(archived from November 30, 2007)

In the vein of the anthrax attacks that helped pass the Patriot Act, when they were being held up, now, the S 1959 “Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007″, is JUST BY CHANCE, getting the same kind of LUCKY support while it languishes in the Senate and while people like me and many others question it’s constitutionality!

That’s right, a “homegrown terrorist” has strapped what he said was a bomb to his chest and decided to go to a Hillary Campaign headquarters in Rochester, New Hampshire.

Apparently he took hostages, and let them 4 of them go. They are not sure if there is still a woman inside or not.

MSNBC reports “The source, who was not identified, told Williams the man went to a local hardware store earlier Friday, where he apparently bought some of the material he wore into the campaign office. The man apparently bought road flares, according to a local resident who spoke with a relative of the man.”

This is one of 16 Hillary campaign offices in the state, and Hillary was in DC to give a speech to the DNC.

So this guy, goes and buys “road flares” and duct tapes them to his body and walks into the Clinton Campaign Headquarters of some little 30,000 person town, and then lets everyone go? Why, you ask?

Well, as it just so happens, there is also a video of someone who knew the man, on MSNBC, here.

And during the video, this kid says he didn’t really know the man but he knew his kid. But he seemed ok to him, when he met him…”

Now get ready for the punchline… get ready!

The kids says ” He was ok when I met him… but I’ve been told stories around here…that he just had issues. Ah… just complained of “CONSPIRACY THEORIES” …and things of that nature.”

One Party System Shuts Down Government So Russ Vought Can Gut More of It

Through the firings, Russell Vought is going to take advantage of the government shutdown by decimating even more of our federal system. These acts cannot be undone. We only have about 24 million people on ObamaCare right now, which is a record high for the program. There are 341 million people in America. So the Dems will have you believe they are sacrificing the good of the majority for the sake of a tiny minority of Americans. That's bullshit. They want Vought to do his thing just like the Republicans do. It's a one party system folks. When it's all done and Russel is finished, they will compromise and get the subsidies back (because that money goes to Big Business after all) but the Dems will allow for complete deregulation of insurance companies in the ObamaCare portal. Big Business always wins folks.

The Switcheroo: 8 Muslim Countries Agreed to an Entirely DIFFERENT Peace Plan

Yeah, TrumpyBear pulled a fast one. The plan they dropped on Hamas' desk was different than the one they got the leaders of 8 Muslim and Arab countries to agree to. It's no wonder Bibi decided to scuttle it by saying they were not withdrawing... they knew it wouldn't hold up anyway.

' Hamas is expected to clarify that it is willing to accept the outline that was presented to Arab leaders last week, before prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu made changes to it, the outlet added.' Independent

Global Sumud Flotilla UPDATES

by Scott Creighton

Last night provided the first real bit of drama in this saga. After the Italian ship cut and ran leaving the flotilla folks to fend for themselves (so much for their promise to stick around and pick people out of the water if shit went south), the leaders of the group thought they might be attacked by the IDF so they got everyone up and dressed and into their life preservers so they could sit around on the decks of the boats waiting like good little protesters for the boarding parties which never came.

But it made for good social media theater, which may have been the point all along.

Gotta get those views.


 

Right now they are sailing under clear blue skies in beautiful conditions, picture perfect for the Mediterranean Sea. By my calculations (from the image from the Global Sumud Tracker website) they are currently 118 miles from the coast of Gaza.

Did Muslim countries agree to a different version of Trump’s Gaza plan?

(It's been reported that 8 Muslim and Arab nations signed onto the Trump 20-point peace plan last week at a meeting that took place at the UN. There are reports and images of Trump sitting next to Erdogan of Turkey. Turns out, Trump and his sycophantic Zionist supporters (Kushner, Witkoff and maybe General Michael "Erik" Kurilla?) then took that agreement to Netanyahu who made changes to the plan and after that happened, the Trump team told everyone those 8 countries agreed to the plan. But that wasn't the case. They hadn't seen Bibi's version which is now on Hamas' table. This is just more scummy and dishonest statecraft from Glorious TrumpyBear and the Genocidal Netanyahu.) 

 from DAWN

US news outlet Axios says deal now before Hamas is significantly different than one US and Muslim countries had previously agreed on. 

US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday unveiled a 20-point plan for Gaza. Subsequently, eight Arab or Muslim-majority nations — Jordan, United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Egypt — “welcomed the role of the American president and his sincere efforts aimed at ending the war in Gaza”.

In Pakistan, the government’s so-called approval of the plan had drawn flak from politicians, journalists and activists alike, who termed the deal a “two-state surrender’’ with the scales weighing heavily in Israel’s favour.

Subsequently, signs began appearing that not everyone was happy with the draft made public by the White House. On Tuesday, Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar seemingly distanced Pakistani decision-makers from the plan. He also made it clear in so many words that the US peace plan for Gaza would not be acceptable if the am­e­ndments — jointly pro­posed by eight Muslim co­u­n­tries — were not included.

This came after Trump had previously claimed that both Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir were behind the plan “100 per cent”. However, in yesterday’s presser, Dar said the “document has been issued by the US” and that it was “not our document”.
