"We know who has interest in stopping these flotillas,"
"my duty to be here and to help in any way I can ... to show people that Gaza is a real place. It's not an abstract location. Gaza exists. It's there. Real people are living there and are living under attack."
"There is no one mission or campaign that will have a direct outcome impact. But I believe solidarity work is an accumulative process that we have to build in,"
"We have to mobilize people around the world. We have to get pressure on governments, because that's the only way that Israel will listen and will stop their crimes."
Members of the Global Sumud Flotilla vow to continue efforts to break Israel's siege of the Gaza Strip despite recent attacks. Two flotilla ships were struck by apparent drone attacks while docked in Tunisia. Tunisia's Interior Ministry described the incidents as premeditated acts without naming a suspect. Activists have directly implicated Israel and expressed suspicion that the strikes were carried out by the Israeli military. Passengers include international activists and a Portuguese parliamentarian who emphasize witnessing Gaza's reality. Organizers call for sustained global solidarity and pressure on governments to compel an end to Israeli actions.
