Gaza Flotilla - genuine peace activists or Hamas puppets?

[TicklishMauveSquid]

It has been reported that these activists have rejected the Italian government and the Vatican's proposal to unload any aid they are carrying in Cyprus, to be transferred peacefully to Gaza.

They seem intent on sailing into a legal blockade in a warzone as a direct provocation to Israel who will be forced to take control of 50 boats and the people on them.

They have made lots of unproven allegations that Israel has attacked their boats which may well be to precursor violent resistance in 'self defence'.

They could be carrying anything, including weapons.

There is quite compelling evidence of Hamas/Muslim Brotherhood connections to this so called humanitarian flotilla, which could be considered perverse in the extreme seeing as Hamas has caused the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Hundreds of Israeli boat owners are being encouraged to counter protest in Navy approved zones (without interfering) as a presence 'a blue and white wall for the hostages'.

What do we think the outcome of this will be with Italian and Spanish Navy vessels in the mix?

This is quite a different situation than the ONE boat in the earlier failed attempt to breach the blockade this year where the 'activists' were peacefully appeased with sandwiches and sent on their way (after refusing to watch footage of Oct 7th).

Hamas puppets 100%

What the heck is that link?

Oh dearhttps://ie.trustpilot.com/review/www.govextra.gov.il

What exactly in the article do you suggest is untrue?

You could try reading about them?

1. We Challenge the Blockade – By sailing vessels to Gaza, we confront Israel’s illegal siege and demonstrate that this blockade constitutes collective punishment of a civilian population, violating internationally recognized rights, including the right to freedom of movement.

2.We Expose the Nature of the Occupation – Through peaceful, civilian-led missions, we reveal the violent and unlawful behavior of Israeli occupation forces. These include hijacking our vessels and forcibly transporting them to occupied Palestine , assaulting unarmed volunteers, and seizing personal belongings, and medical supplies bound for Palestinians in Gaza. Israel’s hostile responses to our missions reflect a wider, ongoing brutality inflicted upon civilians in Gaza on a daily basis.'

^ It's a little bit difficult to do these things by unloading aid in Cyprus. Maybe step away from the propaganda.

I think the fame has gone to Greta’s head to the extent she believes herself to be some kind of martyr who is humanity’s only hope of peace and prosperity.

Talks are on the verge of a breakthrough but are very delicate and anyone who isn’t a diplomat, politician, envoy or aid worker needs to stay the fuck out of it and stop agitating for their own conscience. There is absolutely zero point ‘raising awareness’ of Gaza, our awareness has been raised for 2 years now and there is nothing left to achieve that previous attempts have not.

I have felt for a while now this is turning into a proxy for Antifa and JSO types to take out their grievances against the British ‘establishment’, large corporations for ‘financially backing Israel’ etc rather than the plight of the Palestinian people.

Remember all of the people the Israeli state executed while waiting at food stations. The flotilla is legally and legitimately challenging the blockage and the genocide perpetuated against the Palestinian people.

What does ‘challenging the blockade’ even mean? They’ll attempt to access the Gaza coast, the Israeli military will intervene, and they’ll be returned to their native countries. End of. They’re not challenging anything, they’re just having yet another few weeks in the limelight. It’s like they can’t bear for the attention not to be on them.!

There's Trustpilot reviews for the Israeli government?

Whoever did that must have lots of time on their hands.

Anything in that link you think is false?

That's if they're lucky.

If they're not, like their predecessor Vittorio Arrigoni, then they might actually achieve their aim of getting to Gaza.

How are they going to legitimately challenge a legal blockade and stop a war deliberately started by the very organisation who are running their little crusade?

Is there evidence Israel executed people waiting at food stations?

From 1st of August I am sure many more have been killed since

“In total, since 27 May, at least 1,373 Palestinians have been killed while seeking food; 859 in the vicinity of the GHF sites and 514 along the routes of food convoys.
OHCHR noted that most of the killings were committed by the Israeli military, and that while it is aware of the presence of other armed elements in the same areas, it does not have information indicating their involvement in the killings.

How is the blockade legal?

Israel are committing a genocide in Gaza. Can we just retire the Hamas nonsense- they clearly have very little power and they’re very much separate from the campaigners trying to end the genocide

Challenging the blockade means just that. Israel has threatened to detain them and block their flotilla from delivering aid and they’re trying to challenge.

They are taking a huge risk with their own personal safety. If they’re just after fame I’m sure there are easier ways to attract attention.

What’s wrong with delivering aid and why would Israel stop them? Surely the best thing would be to let them land, deliver the aid then let them leave. No drama or arrests needed.

They know full well Israel will ensure their safety.

Ah @Everexpanding the guy quoted in the ops article said "there is no starvation in Gaza" so I am not sure why they were even going to aid sites, I am sure they could have just popped to the local shop.

( He also is quoted as voting against ceasefire deals..)

Vittorio Arrigoni was kidnapped, tortured and murdered by an ISIS affiliated gang in Gaza (the same gangs that Netanyahu is currently funding https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07-14/gaza-aid-looting-gangs-yasser-abu-shabab-israel-netanyahu-hamas/105501926 )

Prior to that he was living happily and integrated with the Palestinians in Gaza.

It appears that a Hasbara talking point has been issued as this is the 3rd time I have seen him mentioned today as some kind of propaganda gotcha on social media.

Just like in 2010.

On the plus side whenever I hear the futilla mentioned I picture Greta leading a rousing chorus of 'in the navy' and getting hamasniks to dance in their costumes.

Apparently she's quite the crowd pleaser.

I don’t know how anyone could watch the news today and try to defend what is being done to the Palestinian people.

Or make pathetic jokes about the flotilla. I feel sick.

Yup, so much protection offered.

How does the UN know the IDF killed them all those people out of interest? What evidence do they have?

Hamas has been killing Palestinians since the war started to blame it on Israel. Especially at the the GHF sites which Palestinians were threatened with execution for using.

Do you think they didn't follow through?

No one believes this “But Hamas” spiel anymore.
