The Israeli government has made a sinister change to its propaganda attacking the humanitarian ‘Global Sumud Flotilla’ of fifty-plus boats heading to Gaza with crucial supplies – almost certainly as a prelude to attacking it.
While the colonisers’ early smears against the convoy were dismissive, for example calling it a ‘selfie cruise’ as if its volunteers were just attention-seekers, the official narrative now uses smear-by-association to paint the convoy as ‘Hamas’ based on – shock of shocks – the resistance group calling for the world to support humanitarian aid reaching the people of Gaza whom Israel is starving to death:
Flotilla volunteers, who include many anti-genocide Jews, have seen through the scam and are, rightly, raising concerns about what it means:
The flotilla has now, however, been backed by sixteen governments, who have warned Israel against attacking it.
The governments of Turkey, Bangladesh, Brazil, Colombia, Indonesia, Ireland, Libya, Malaysia, the Maldives, Mexico, Pakistan, Qatar, Oman, Slovenia, South Africa, and Spain confirmed that their citizens are participating in the mission and warned of consequences if the ships come under attack or if participants are detained.
