FEATURING HUWAIDA ARRAF - A dozen anti-genocide international activists are on board a ship called the Madleen, sailing to Gaza to break Israel’s blockade of humanitarian aid. A previous ship, the Conscience, was attacked by drones earlier this year while in waters near Malta, in an incident that has been linked to Israel.
Now, the Madleen will make another attempt to enter Gaza and deliver humanitarian supplies. The Gaza Freedom Flotilla has sailed to Gaza for years, creating a powerful moral lifeline for Palestinians living under Israeli apartheid and genocide. Fifteen years ago, Israeli forces attacked one of the flotilla’s ships, the Mavi Marmara, killing ten activists on board and wounding dozens more.
