"Shameful": Israel Seizes Gaza-Bound Vessels & Detains 400+, But More Boats Are Now Heading to Gaza
Palestinian activist Saif Abukeshek, who is on the steering committee of the Global Sumud Flotilla, says this latest attack reveals ongoing international complicity with Israel's violations of international law. "Israel has been committing genocide for 22 months, and nothing happens," says Abukeshek.
We also speak with reporter Emily Wilder, who is on board the "Conscience," still sailing toward Gaza as part of a later wave in the ongoing campaign to break the siege. She says that it was important for her, as a journalist, to bear witness and make it clear that "Israel does not represent my voice."

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
