Official Contacts - By Country - Global Movement to Gaza

What I suspect is that the governments in question are betting on Israel blinking first but that they're willing to follow through if Israel calls their bluff, they wouldn't have deployed the warships otherwise.'

3) Israel attacks and the warships fight them, and you effectively have war between NATO countries and Israel

I think you'll agree that whatever happens, it's consequential no matter what.

2) Israel attacks and the warships of all 3 nations let it happen, which will create a major public opinion disaster

"I'm not sure what's going to happen but as far as I can see there are 3 options:

1) Israel doesn't attack, the flotilla reaches Gaza, which means the blockade is breached and which is a major precedent

"We have no illusions about the political calculations & limitations behind their (Spanish & Italian navy) presence but the fact is that they came because of enormous public pressure in Italy & Spain.

Israeli genocide & militarism MUST be stopped. The chain of command begins & ends with the people"

Strangely I came across this again today! From his book on how Thatcher exploited discontent with Labour's record in office & with aspects of the welfare state to devise a potent authoritarian, populist ideology.'

Their impact is incalculable, whether that be the South campaign that provides food, tents, and medical care, The Refaat Alareer Camp which homes vulnerable medical cases and gives them special care,

The Sameer Project was founded by four Palestinians in the diaspora. Sameer Abu-Salim is the name of the father of one of the founders who died in Gaza in January due to a lack of access to medical treatment.

They need to supply daily food & water for those who remain.

Though borders are closed, there is some aid still available in Gaza to purchase albeit at high prices & high commission costs to withdraw cash because of supply & demand. But with your help they can still operate & still have an impact.

Translating Falasteen x The Sameer Project is one of the only initiatives left serving the North. But this does not come without extreme risk for their team. They are putting their lives on the line to support their community with the basic necessities for survival.

Nearly half a million people remain in the North of Gaza. Whether because they refuse to leave their land or because they are unable to find costly transport South, thousands and thousands of families still need food, still need water, still need help as they are being bombed without mercy.

🚨 Israel has bombed the food distribution site of the Sameer Project which has been supplying food to people in Northern Gaza🚨

As food packages were being organized for a distribution, the occupation bombed a residential building, levelling the area around where The Sameer Project team was working.

Dear Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary, 

I am writing to you with urgency regarding the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), which is currently attempting to bring desperately needed aid to Gaza. The flotilla is made up of 52 boats, carrying humanitarian supplies and peace activists determined to support civilians facing unimaginable suffering.

Reports have already emerged of explosions, unidentified objects being dropped near the vessels, drones circling overhead, and communications being jammed. These are deeply concerning developments. We know from past experience that when Israel smears peace activists with unfounded claims of links to Hamas, it is often a precursor to violent attacks.

The UK Government must make it absolutely clear that these boats, carrying only aid and peaceful activists, must be treated safely and in line with inte

I’ve written to Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper demanding urgent action to ensure the safety of the Global Sumud Flotilla. 52 boats carrying aid and peace activists to Gaza.

The UK must act to assure their safety.

Israel is committing a genocide. All eyes are on this flotilla.
