URGENT UPDATE: Illegally detained Sumud volunteers are now on their 4th day of a dry hunger strike (no food, no water) and their condition is critical. Since Monday, ten people detained in Benghazi have been refusing food, with many also refusing water, in protest of prolonged illegal detention, mistreatment, and being denied legal counsel. Some have been forced to break the strike, but many continue as their health deteriorates. Their lives are at risk. They’ve received no medical care and are being held in “black sites" (unknown areas). We demand their immediate release and we need you to act now. Call. Post. Pressure the authorities. Share this update widely. Email the foreign ministries of those detained at

At least 15 cases of sexual assaults, including rape. Shot with rubber bullets at close range. Tens of people’s bones broken. While the world’s eye is trained on the suffering of our participants, we cannot emphasize enough that this is a mere glimpse of the brutality israel imposes daily on Palestinian hostages. Don’t let up. Statements of condemnation are not enough. This moment must be seized by people worldwide to apply the necessary pressure to end this colonial violence. Pressure officials. Escalate boycott and divestment tactics. Organize direct action. “Please, if this can be a lightning rod moment, let it be that … join us wherever you are and rise up so that we can end this occupation, end this colonialism, end this violence.” Free Palestine NOW.

RED ALERT! Military vessels are currently intercepting our fleet and IOF forces are boarding the first of our boats in broad daylight. We demand safe passage for our legal, non-violent humanitarian mission. Governments must act now to stop these illegal acts or piracy meant to maintain israel’s genocidal siege on Gaza. Normalization of the occupation’s violence is a threat to us all. WITNESS IS PROTECTION. PRESSURE YOUR GOVERNMENTS

“They kept kicking until I had no breath.” Arno recounts the brutal assault he endured after israeli forces illegally intercepted their boats in international waters. Beaten so severely that he suffered broken ribs and a collapsed lung, his testimony is one of many describing the extreme violence participants faced during the interception.

⛵️ We are sailing! When they intercepted our vessels last week, and brutalised us, physically and sexually, the israeli army showed the lengths they are prepared to go to in order to block humanitarian aid to Gaza. We don’t know what they will do next. We sail because the risk of not sailing, of normalizing genocide, is too great. Witness is protection. We need all eyes on the Flotilla now and over the coming days as we sail towards Gaza.

All they have is violence. We have love, community, and care for one another and that is something no occupier can ever break. For decades, they have committed grave injustices and unleashed grotesque violence in an attempt to crush Palestinian resistance (the defence of land, dignity, and life). Now that same violence is being turned on anyone who dares to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people. But violence has never succeeded in breaking people’s spirit. It only strengthens our love for one another and deepens our resolve. We are more determined than ever. Participants in the Flotilla have shown us what resistance rooted in love and solidarity looks like. We must keep fighting for the world we know is possible.

Saif has been released from israeli captivity and after 6 brutal days, his message is clear - we must continue to mobilize! Still, thousands of Palestinian prisoners are being held hostage in israeli dungeons, subjected to inhumane conditions. We are one small step closer to a free Palestine but our fight is far from over. We must continue to push against empire on all fronts! A heartfelt thank you Saif and Thiago’s legal team at Adalah and to all who mobilized and applied pressure at every level for the safe return of our comrades. Until liberation.

🚨 URGENT: GSF PARTICIPANTS BRUTALIZED BY IOF AFTER 40 HOURS AT SEA 🚨 Global Sumud Flotilla participants have just survived 40 hours of calculated cruelty aboard an iOF navy vessel in Greek waters. They were denied adequate food and water. They were forced to sleep on floors that were deliberately and repeatedly flooded. When the military moved to abduct two participants, Saif Abukeshek (Spain / Palestinian origins) and Thiago Ávila (Brazil), our crew peacefully resisted and the response was sheer violence. Participants were punched, kicked, and dragged across the deck with their hands bound behind their backs. They suffered broken noses, cracked ribs and bloody beatings. Shots were even fired at them in the chaos. The nightmare isn't over. Greek police are now trapping our battered crew on buses, denying them the freedom to leave while Saif and Thiago have been abducted and taken back to Occupied Palestine. Our participants remain unbroken: 60 participants have immediately launched a hunger strike. This is a vicious attack on peaceful civilians. We will not look away. We demand their freedom and international accountability NOW.

Our fleet is currently being intercepted by IOF forces. Every step of the way, people have asked us why we keep sailing, knowing that we will be stopped. The question is not why we continue. The question is why israel is not stopped. We reject the normalization of genocide. We reject the normalization of siege and starvation. We reject the normalization of piracy against peaceful civilians. ACT NOW - Contact your governments at - Watch the livestream - Follow the boat tracker Links in bio!

israeli violence against volunteers who sailed with compassion and love in their hearts. With hands in the air, participants implored ‘do not shoot’. This is an attack on Gaza. This is an attack on humanity. This is what apartheid looks like: when those trying to save lives are met with bullets. When aid is blocked with brutality. When international law is made a mockery. israel openly bragged that they would target based on race. We cannot stand by while this is normalized. Repost. Contact Government officials. Rise up. *as far as we know no one has been seriously hurt - updates to come

We have just departed Italy and our fleet has expanded! The participants’ boats were filled with aid and ready to break the siege on Gaza. It’s time to end the colonization of our seas. A safe, humanitarian corridor must be opened. Follow our boats online with our tracker at

Our activists are being subjected to violent abuse after being illegally abducted at sea while attempting to break the siege on Gaza. “No one is allowed to see what is happening in Gaza. Gaza is just a box and no one is allowed to look inside it. It is completely sealed. Whoever dares to approach and try to open this box, or even thinks about opening it, israel must eliminate them.” This is how far israel is willing to go to keep Gaza sealed off from the world. Solidarity cannot be silenced. The world must rise for an end to the siege and the release of all 9,500 Palestinian hostages held in israeli torture dungeons. Free our participants. #FreeThemAll

Interconnected global repression. We are outraged by the violent assault by the Ertzaintza (Basque autonomous police) against newly returned flotilla participants at Bilbao Airport. This is what is what the spread of violence looks like. The result of unchecked aggression green-lighted by world powers. Refuse repression. Resist oppression. Rise up in solidarity.

Alex describes the ‘obvious pleasure’ israeli guards were getting from ‘hurting us as much as they possibly could’. He describes ‘concentration camp’ like conditions on the prison boat and treatment ‘magnitudes worse’ than the last time he was in Kziot after a previous intercepted Flotilla mission. He saw people shot at point blank with rubber bullets .. lost feeling in his hands after they were zip tied and yanked…he passed out. This is the systemic violence of the IOF and the lengths they will go to continue their illegal siege and continuing annexation of the West Bank. We refuse. We resist. We Rise.

Same script, different year. The israeli navy thinks a radio warning can drown out the cries for justice. You call it a "maritime security blockade" — the rest of the world calls it a crime scene. We aren't "invited" to Ashdod; we aren't your guests. We are the witnesses you can't silence. Keep your threats; we’re keeping our course.
