Today, April 20, 13 boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla are taking direct action, coordinating a disruption against the transfer of raw materials to israel as it continues its genocide against Palestinians. Under the Geneva Conventions, Genocide Convention and Arms Trade Treaty, states are required to halt arms transfers to israel, an occupying entity that the UN has officially designated an illegal occupation of the Palestinian Territories since 1967.
The Mediterranean Sea must be decolonized. We will not wait for the complicit governments to act while injustice continues unchecked.
We do not take our responsibilities lightly and will not delay our departure. We refuse to stand by while international law is ignored. We also refuse to sail past ships carrying goods and supplies to those committing war crimes without doing everything in our power to disrupt the supply chain.
