Activists who intended to sail to Gaza are still in Turkey, according to CODEPINK co-founder Medea Benjamin. Benjamin said that the US government is pressuring Turkey to not let the flotilla, which is said to be carrying 5,500 tons of medical aid and food, sail to Gaza
US would do anything for Israel. In this case, I am actually worried Israel will bomb these guys out of the water.
That's why the US doesn't want the ships to sail. It will highlight the hardline Zionist government as truly genocidal.
Nope. They will just say they are furious and demand Israel investigate themselves.
And then toss them about $20B
They would also be forced to carry on as normal which Will definitely not sit well with voters
Check the Mavi Marmara case.
That will show you what will happen if they sail anywhere near Gaza.
There's a nato document that calls the first freedom flotilla a human shield operation. A kind of "lawfare". Banking on human decency to deliver construction supplies and aid becomes "human shields attempting exploitative lawfare to smuggle dual use goods" (Not actual quote but made of actual quote parts)

Which is true in a lot of ways. But it’s consensually acting as human shields for aid.

That’s why the US wants to stop it going. They know that Israel will kill some of them and that will ramp up pressure on the US higher than ever since they don’t want to do the actual obvious part which is actually to stop the flow of aid until Israel cuts it out, which they can do even after passing the bill at any point btw
Considering none of the previous flotillas were bombed, that doesn't sound like a legit concern. Actually, all the goods in previous flotillas were delivered after the IDF searched it and removed what it deemed contraband. Maybe if those deliveries were however refused.
lol.. the likely scenario is that Hamas will rape and murder these “activists” and steal the aid.
Delulu
She's an outstanding human being
Who is this lady. I keep seeing her on news advocating for people in Gaza. She's often escorted out by security/cops
Medea Benjamin
I dont know, I call her Jewish angel lady 🤍
She's a jew, I think, that's been advocating for Palestinians.. A truly nice human..
I’m still growing my balls to be as big as hers
23.04.24 - A group of human rights organisations is set to send a flotilla of four ships to Gaza from Istanbul next week, in a challenge to Israel’s blockade on the Palestinian enclave, activists announced on Friday.
Members of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) spoke from a dockyard in Istanbul’s Tuzla, on board the Akdeniz ship, one of the four vessels that will embark on the journey. They expressed determination to reach Gaza despite Israel’s threats and US attempts to prevent them from departing Turkish waters.
Butcher Biden disapproves of aid.
They more worried about the fleet since they know if the fleet proceeds its very likely they get killed by idf savages and in turn forces them to acknowledge It
The martyrdom of white people might make it difficult for Butcher Biden.
Harder only. I wouldnt be surprised if he just dropped the act and declared martial law at this rate. I swear zionists could Burn his children Alive live on Twitch and he wouldnt budge. Its almost a merit how dedicated to the genocide he is
The last time a flotilla went in the early aughts that’s exactly what happened, so you’re onto something.
Yeah, interrupting the genocide will not be tolerated by Israel.
Israeli puppet Butcher Biden disapproves of aid.
Good luck. If the USA asked something from Erdogan, he would absolutely do it. So they will wait there forever.
How can anyone say that the US is not complicit in this genocide?
Code Pink is so based.
Fuck Biden and Erdogan with the same stick. When will those old fucks die seriously it's about fucking time...
US: We don’t want to impede the extermination of Palestinians now do we?
If something happens to them I want retaliation.
I'm starting to truly believe Trump is the lesser evil lol
I pray for a safe outcome. Gaze definitely needs immediate help. However Isreal will not think twice to use military force and simply kill them either. It's a serious proposition.
Ooh we must stop the aid getting to the Palestinians as it's bad PR for us and Israel.... 🤬
To be sort of fair, the US is probably worried Israel will kill them.
To be sort of fair, I think the volunteers already knew the risk....
Which makes it even more obvious that the US is protecting and facilitating a genocide in Gaza.
Without question.
Yeah, it's probably best they don't find out why the blockade hasn't been broken.
Unless she's actively trying to be killed by Israel.
It's not going to end well they will bomb the hell out of them I don't trust it but I hope it does go safely
