IOF's message over radio to flotilla (left) and Thiago Silva's response (right). Thiago Ávila: “You say that we are entering an active war zone? You're saying that we're entering a place where you're committing war crimes. This is against international law. Once again, the International Court of Justice made... a provisional ruling that any attempt to hinder the humanitarian mission to Gaza is prohibited by international law and is complying with the request to make you accountable for the crime of genocide. The International Criminal Court has your Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, under an arrest warrant for the crime of starving children and starving people to death, using starvation and shaming as a weapon of war. Therefore, it's our moral duty to continue sailing. It's our moral duty to refuse any attempt of an occupying force to control humanitarian aid for the Palestinian people in Gaza, who have the right of their sovereignty, to have the right of their self-determination and to control their own borders. Therefore, we do not recognize you as a legitimate agent to control any attempt to bring aid to the Palestinian people in Gaza. We request you to stand down, to not commit another war crime among so many that you've been committing and to stand down. Do not engage with our peaceful nor violent humanitarian solidarity mission for the Palestinian people in Gaza.”show more
