Israeli pirates have just kidnapped Irish, Spanish, British, American, Turkish, and Dutch citizens, among others, sailing peacefully in international waters where the state of Israel has absolutely no jurisdiction whatsoever. Demand a response from your politicians and governments to this outrage.

Israeli soldiers were filmed detaining two Palestinian children in Hebron, in the occupied West Bank, while demanding to know their fatherโ€™s whereabouts.

When a passerby intervened and urged their release because of their young age, a soldier replied, โ€œI donโ€™t careโ€.

We are sailing to Gaza. Hereโ€™s why | David Adler Governments have failed the people of Gaza. Now, ordinary people are taking humanitarian matters into their own hands โ€“ and putting their lives on the line

From David Adler aboard the Sumud Flotilla on why he and others are sailing to Gaza:

UN "member-states continue to arm, aid, and abet the state of Israel in its expanding campaign of destruction, eviction, and annexation of the occupied Palestinian territories"
