The second flotilla is now in the ‘red zone’ where Israel has previously abducted flotillas and trafficked them onwards to false imprisonment. We’ll do all we can to reach Gaza, but if they stop us it will likely be within 24 hours. Track us here: thousandmadleens.fr/tracker

The second flotilla is very close to Gaza now, undeterred by anything we’ve heard about what the first went through. 11,000 Palestinians are still trapped in such prisons, including over 400 children, so turning back is not an option. Track us here: thousandmadleens.fr/tracker/

The first flotilla’s Irish participants have just been released from Israeli prison; they’re on their way home now. Meanwhile, we on the second flotilla are nearing Gaza. Keep speaking up for Palestine. We’re sailing not only for aid but for self-determination & we won’t stop until Palestine is free

Naoise Dolan: As we get closer to Gaza, Israel’s abduction of our fellow flotilla members will only spur us on Friday, October 4, 12.25am local time. I should sleep before my night watch shift begins in two hours, but my boat’s violent tilting makes it impossible. There is a loud, interminable drilling noise; ...

The second flotilla continues to sail. No matter what we hear about prison conditions for the first wave of participants, our solidarity with Palestine is unconditional. We’re on track to reach Gaza in just a few days www.independent.ie/opinion/comm...

“This time next week, I might not be able to advocate for myself. So I’ll say this now: speak up not only for the flotilla, but against Israel’s illegal occupation and genocide.”

The Mikeno boat at the front of Sumud flotilla has now reached Gaza’s territorial waters. It’s so close. I’m praying to every deity and secular source of hope that a single one of our boats gets through

Yahia Barzaq is the latest Palestinian journalist Israel has murdered in Gaza. Whatever propaganda moments they try to capture of the flotilla with cameras on — a jacket, a sandwich — remember that they kill reporters specifically to control the narrative

Sumud boats currently being intercepted by Israel, likely to illegally abduct and imprison those inside. I’m on one of the Thousand Madleens boats just behind. We need escalation from home to end the impunity with which this rogue state commits genocide and stifles opposition

I’m on a boat bound for Gaza – sailing, scrubbing and warding off sea sickness – all so we can break Israel’s blockade | Naoise Dolan It’s not likely we will reach Gaza. But until Palestine is free, we will show what solidarity we can from our vessel, says writer Naoise Dolan

While world leaders dither over a Gaza peace plan, I’m sailing with supplies, hoping to break Israel’s blockade | Naoise Dolan It’s not likely we will reach Gaza. But until Palestine is free, we will show what solidarity we can from our vessel, says writer Naoise Dolan

Wrote for the Guardian about boat life, and why we need not only to deliver short-term aid but to politically challenge Israel’s illegal occupation and siege www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Our Thousand Madleens boats continue just behind Sumud. The next few days will be a test of whether the world will finally end the same impunity that has let Israel butcher Palestinians for decades

After a month of setbacks and delays, I finally set sail for Gaza today with Thousand Madleens to break Israel’s illegal blockade, protest Western governments’ participation in the genocide and stand with Palestinians. I’m on the Milad, track us here: thousandmadleens.fr/tracker/

I say this as a flotilla participant: we cannot let drone attacks distract from the genocide. Israel has murdered at least 84 people in Gaza so far today, with the real number likely far higher. Governments need to sanction this rogue state, not just protect their own citizens

My boat in Tunisia got cancelled but I’m still sailing to Gaza from Italy next week. Viva Palestina 🇵🇸

They droned a second boat. We’re still going to Gaza. Pressure the Irish government any way you can to support the flotilla and sanction the country attacking us

Our lead ship on the Global Sumud Flotilla was droned and caught fire. The six who were onboard are safe, and our mission will continue. They know international opinion is turning inexorably against them. Bombing peaceful humanitarians won’t exactly help that, but it’s the only response they’ve got.

Author Naoise Dolan joins aid flotilla sailing to Gaza

Irish novelist Naoise Dolan is among hundreds of activists to have joined an aid flotilla sailing to Gaza this week 👇 #BookSky

Back in now but I’ll leave this up – I left my normal phone+SIM in Ireland so could easily lose access to any of my socials and even email, if all else fails go through Global Movement to Gaza Éire on their IG + TikTok pages

I’ve lost access to my Instagram as I wait to board the Sumud Flotilla when the Spain boats arrive – trying to get it back now, but please try here if you can’t reach me there!

Ireland calls out the genocide in Gaza while profiting from Israeli war bonds. That’s why I’m joining the flotilla | Naoise Dolan My government pays lip service to Palestine but remains complicit. Like many Irish citizens, I refuse to, says author Naoise Dolan

A few hours after this went up, Israel announced that it had moved bond approval from Ireland to Luxembourg. We’ll take the win. But overall governmental complicity remains, and that’s why I and other EU citizens have been forced to sail for Gaza ourselves www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🇵🇸| The sky above me today is a canopy of bleary grey, the air I'm breathing seems wan... It's hard to conceive that we can/do/shall continue to endeavour within this flimsy structure — in a vain effort of conjecture — that life has meaning at all. At least @naoisedolan.bsky.social 🗣️ like a real one⤵️

Naoise Dolan: I can’t conceptualise what is happening in Western leaders’ heads now, what psychological tricks they play on themselves.
They continue to sleep and eat and walk their dogs while on some level presumably aware they are abetting mass murder.

I didn’t know the half of this 👇especially the sickening part about the war bonds.

Thank you @naoisedolan.bsky.social for exposing the Irish government’s hypocrisy on Gaza, and for having the courage to join the flotilla.
