Update: The new flotilla, Freedom Flotilla - Thousand Madleens to Gaza & Conscience website and livestream:

👀 As we approach the high risk ‘orange zone’ we need eyes on the Flotilla ❗️

I fucking hate how the bravest, kindest people in the world get treated as criminals while absolute ghouls like Netanyahu are admired and respected.
Novara media reporting spontaneous protests in Belgium, Greece, and Germany so far
Italian unions calling for a general strike friday
Spontaneous manifestations in Switzerland as well.
Adding Barcelona and Istanbul to the assumed list.
Worth pointing out, if you’re feeling a bit disappointed that the Mikeno didn’t quite make it, don’t see it as a failure. The fact we’re even a little disappointed shows how much the flotilla raised the bar! A few weeks ago coming anywhere near the shore would have seemed impossible. What an incredible achievement. Every stage of this flotilla has been an inspirational victory for humanity.
Bringing together all those people from all around the world. Actually getting 50 vessels in the water. Getting 40 to the “red line”. Refusing to stop. The Mikeno getting so close to Gaza that they could literally almost see it. Inspiring the world, bringing protests out around the world in support.
Like the prison break on October 7th, this shows the entire world that the myth of the all-seeing, all-powerful Zionist project is built on pillars of sand. A few dedicated heroes in some barely seaworthy boats came within a bee’s dick of breaking their 20 year blockade.
The Sumud had more victories than we can count. Any Zionist thinking they “won” this engagement is, as usual, completely deluded.
Great point, only thing I would add is this:
This is not the last. This success will inspire others, and the next flotilla will be larger. Who knows how much larger, but we saw last night that Israel could barely keep up with 50 boats. Israel may get aggressive, but then that triggers a whole new monster of the world they’ll have to deal with.
Call from the Global Sumud Flotilla:
It’s time to shut it down for a FREE PALESTINE.
The Israeli attack on the Global Sumud Flotilla has begun. The time to respond is NOW.
Hit the streets: shut down embassies, parliaments and corporations complicit in manufacturing in the genocide.

‼️ Breaking Now: It is with heavy hearts and sadness that we announce the Global Sumud Flotilla vessel “Mikeno” was seized by the Israeli Navy.
The captain, a hero, defied direct Israeli orders to shut his engine down and seize progression. He then went completely dark, shutting off all electronics and maneuvering past their blockade. The “Mikeno” made it within 7NM of the coast of Gaza. The ship was then intercepted, seized, and boarded by naval commandos deployed from multiple Israeli warships with drones flying overhead.

The 7NM could also be an AIS error. Ship and flight tracking applications and their implementation methods are not immune to errors or spoofing/jamming.
sensitive information about flotilla operations
suspected sabotage on the flotilla
trueanon interview with david adler leaked information that there was a suspected saboteur on the boat.
the suspected individual had been on 3 boats with motor failures. Adler says his own boat suffered excessive fuel loss, stripped parts (most likely stripped threads on a bolt/nut) and, engine failure.
the suspected individual would go on another boat, then off the flotilla.
On MEE someone was saying the family boat mechanical failure was suspected sabotage whilst docked for repairs, lots of non-flotilla people coming and going during the repairs

Update from the live feed: It seems IOF is hosing the boats and trying to force them into a single line of boats, but they don’t have enough hoses to continuously hose all of them at once so once they stop with one boat and move to the next boat the other boats keep moving towards Gaza.
I’ve heard singing and the people talking to the camera seem to be in good spirits right now.
the problem with colonialism is you eventually run out of other people’s hoses
High double digits of people kidnapped already just based on 3 confirmed interceptions.
Israel also killed 60+ people in Palestine today.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STATEMENT ON ITALIAN NAVAL FRIGATE ATTEMPTING TO UNDERMINE THE GLOBAL SUMUD FLOTILLA
September 30th, 2025
The Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has informed us that the naval frigate shadowing our flotilla will soon issue a radio call, offering participants the “opportunity” to abandon ship and return to shore before reaching the so-called “critical zone." Let us be absolutely clear: this is not protection. it is sabotage. It is an attempt to demoralize and fracture a peaceful humanitarian mission that governments have failed to take on themselves, even though it is their silence and complicity that fed to this point.
This is cowardice dressed up as diplomacy. If Italy truly sought to protect lives, it would not be acting as Israel’s enabler, nor would it pressure civilians to retreat. it would use its naval fleet to ensure the safe passage of peaceful volunteers to Gaza, to enforce international law, and to deliver life-saving supplies. Anything less is complicity.
Every single participant on board came with full knowledge of the risks. We are not here under any false illusion. We are here because it is far more dangerous to remain silent in the face of genocide, starvation, and collective punishment than it is to sail carrying humanitarian aid, The Italian government knows this, and yet instead of using its considerable naval power to break an illegal siege, it is choosing to escort us only to the point of danger and then try to peel us away, delivering us back to shore empty-handed, as Israel continues to slaughter and starve the Palestinian people with complete impunity.
We say again: the flotilla sails onward. The Italian navy will not derail this mission. The humanitarian demand to break the blockade cannot be walked back to port, and our moral responsibility cannot be abandoned overboard. Every nautical mile we sail, every threat we face, only underscores what governments have failed to do and what ordinary citizens are now compelled to do.
Israel’s blockade is illegal. Its siege is criminal. And the world’s silence is intolerable. If the Italian government wants to be remembered for courage, it must sail with us.
Intercepting a food aid convoy on Yom Kippur is extra bonus fucked
GSF News.
Breaking Now: Israeli media reports police have interrogated dozens of participants in the Global Sumud Flotilla fleet and referred them to Katziout Prison in the Negev desert.
The fascists have reportedly transferred some of the flotilla activists to one of their apartheid concentration camps.
Israeli forces detain more than 200 people in flotilla from 37 countries
Global Sumud Flotilla spokesperson Saif Abukeshek has provided a “mission update” in a post on Instagram, confirming that Israeli forces have intercepted 13 boats at sea.
Abukeshek said there were more than 201 people from 37 countries on those boats, including 30 participants from Spain; 22 from Italy; 21 from Turkey; and 12 from Malaysia.
He said the group’s “mission is going on” despite the arrests and vessels are continuing to sail “through the Mediterranean to break the siege on Gaza”.
“We have around 30 ships that are still fighting their way away from the military vessels of the occupation forces trying to reach to the shores of Gaza. They are determined. They are motivated, and they are doing everything within their hand to be able to break this [siege] by early morning and to arrive together,” he said.
This feels like a tipping point. The whole world is watching and I know this sick country is going to go too far.
Can’t share your optimism, the West is openly fascist and won’t care.
I’m not being optimistic. I think things are going to get really ugly and the whole world is watching. How any of these governments choose to act is a different story altogether.
@StillNoLeftLeft@hexbear.net please update the OP with the new stream.
Done

These people are heroes, I can’t even fathom how much courage it takes to face down the IOF not just once, but several times as is the case with some of the activists.
I’m sure this will not be the last, not by a long shot, but I am concerned about the future of the next flotillas. As they increase in size, they will certainly have better odds of actually making it to the shore, but the increase in size also comes with an increased risk of infiltration and sabotage, two things these zionist demons are very keen on.
In a recent episode of TrueAnon, David Adler said that there was already a suspected saboteur, so I imagine this could become a worse problem, and might even involve smuggling in stuff to try and make the flotilla an “acceptable” target of lethal force.
