A new wave of flotillas are sailing towards Gaza as one vessel, the Conscience, carries 92 participants, including paramedics and journalists from 26 countries.
After being obstructed in April and struck by drones near Malta earlier this year, the Conscience sets its sights on reaching Gaza's desperate civilians.
The first flotilla wave was illegally intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters, and over 450 activists, including Greta Thunberg and French MEP Rima Hassan, were illegally detained.
Israel has now begun deporting participants as the second wave continues its journey.
The Conscience and ten other vessels continue on their path despite threats, carrying a message of resistance and hope.
at 1040 EST, #HandalaToGaza #HandalaFlotilla is preparing for possible #Israeli attack. drones above. while in #gaza tents of displaced gazans attacked, killing and injuring children, women and men.
#HandalaToGaza continues its journey….keep eyes on #gaza and #HandalaToGaza

🕊️🇵🇸 “But as it is said: Hope is not killed except by the death of the soul,” and art is my soul that will not die.” —Palestinian Artist Durgham Qreiqeh, killed in Israeli airstrike on his home in Gaza on Tuesday, 18 March (1/3)

NEW: Since October 2023, the Israeli government has deliberately denied Palestinians in Gaza the minimum water needed for survival, most likely resulting in thousands of deaths.
A calculated policy.
An act of genocide. 🧵⤵️

Today, Mazen’s body was laid to rest in Damascus. It is the final chapter in the life of a man who was murdered three times and born anew four..

Thousands of detainees are coming out of the notorious Sadnaya Prison near Damascus. People in Syria knew if you ever ended up there you would either never come out or you would die under torture. Historic

Five days of his mother Laila’s hunger strike in protest of his continued detention. She does not intend to eat until her son is free.

Thank you, Mayor @AHammoudMI, for speaking up. Our community is already in so much pain right now. This racism will incite more hate + violence against our Arab & Muslim communities, and it makes everyone less safe. It’s disgraceful that the media continues to normalize this racism.
Absolutely disgusting. Anti-Arab bigotry & Islamophobia have become normalized in our media.
The National Review ran this dangerous cartoon of @RashidaTlaib. This garbage was created by Henry Payne with the @detroitnews.
At what point will people call this out?

The @MichiganDems are telling people they have already given #huwaida4umich the “raw data.”
This is FALSE. The MDP only gave us their final data which includes all the manual adjustments they spent over 2 hrs making. That file had 174 more voters than were credentialed to vote.
