Tightening!

Chris Smalls and Anas Nairoukh were assaulted while in Israeli custody. They were part of a freedom flotilla trying to deliver supplies to Gaza.

Israel is going to collapse. 

The end of the apartheid ethnostate is happening.

The millions of innocent lives stolen by this evil regime must be answered.

Israel is boycotting countries that recognize the state of Palestine. So I guess that is antisemitism if the "Jewish State" is told that Palestinians exist.

Already our U.S. president, Donald J. Trump is threatening sanctions and tariffs on participation states.

France, Spain, Ireland, Canada, Great Britain, Malta, San Marino and the Netherlands are officially breaking from the status quo.

We're too late but it is finally welcomed.

Soon, the pressure on the United States.

If the U.S. continues to block, veto or threaten sanctions, the world will abandon the the dollar. The world will end the U.S. dominance in the long term.

After watching another Freedom Floatella being raided and an American activist being beaten up by the Israelis, more countries are starting to fucking wake up.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) intercepted and boarded the Handala, an aid ship that attempted to reach Gaza as part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, a grassroots international collective that has worked to end Israel’s blockade of Gaza since 2010. According to the coalition, IDF soldiers beat and choked the American labor activist Chris Smalls, who was onboard the ship. Smalls is most well-known for co-founding the Amazon Labor Union.

The Handala, which carried food, baby formula, diapers and medicine, was attempting to breach Israel’s blockade of Gaza, as Palestinians there continue to starve in what UN-backed hunger experts have called a “worst-case scenario of famine” that is unfolding.

“The Freedom Flotilla Coalition confirms that upon arrival in Israeli custody, US human rights defender Chris Smalls was physically assaulted by seven uniformed individuals. They choked him and kicked him in the legs, leaving visible signs of violence on his neck and back,” the Freedom Flotilla Coalition wrote in a statement posted on Instagram on Tuesday morning.

“When his lawyer met with him, Chris was surrounded by six members of Israel’s special police unit. This level of force was not used against other abducted activists. We condemn this violence against Chris and demand accountability for the assault and discriminatory treatment he faced.”

Freedom fighters. Hamas has proven to the world they are not terrorists. They are fighting a brutal occupier who systematically abused them for a generation.

In a statement to the Guardian, the Israeli foreign ministry wrote: “Contrary to the claims made, the passenger violently resisted. This was a planned provocation intended to create media attention. We emphasize that no other passenger made a similar claim.” The Guardian has contacted Smalls for his response to the foreign ministry’s allegations.

Smalls, the only Black person onboard the boat, was one of 21 members of the group who were detained. Others included 19 civilians, including parliamentarians, medics and engineers, and two journalists. Jacob Berger, a Jewish American actor who shared on Instagram that Smalls was in “great spirits” after his detention – everyone else who was detained, he said, should be released on Tuesday or Wednesday.

The interception of the Handala came as more than 30 Israeli public figures called for “crippling sanctions” over Israel’s starvation of Gaza. Donald Trump said he wanted “to make sure [Gazans] get the food, every ounce of food” during a recent meeting with the UK prime minister, Keir Starmer.

The Handala was not the first effort by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition to deliver aid to Gaza. Previous attempts, including one in June in which Greta Thunberg was arrested, were also intercepted by Israel. In 2010, Israeli commandos killed 10 activists setting sail for Gaza on the Mavi Marmara.

France and 14 other Western nations called on countries worldwide to move to recognize a Palestinian state, France's top diplomat said Wednesday.

The foreign ministers of 15 countries late Tuesday issued a joint statement following a conference in New York, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia, aimed at reviving a two-state solution between Israelis and the Palestinians.

"In New York, together with 14 other countries, France is issuing a collective appeal: we express our desire to recognize the State of Palestine and invite those who have not yet done so to join us," French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot wrote on X.

The statement was signed by the foreign ministers of Andorra, Australia, Canada, Finland, France, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Slovenia and Spain.
