Images of activists Rima Hassan and Greta Thunberg have emerged as they are being deported — both smiling defiantly. 

 

Their courage exposes the injustice of a system that deports those bringing aid, while protecting those enforcing an illegal siege. 

 

You can detain people, but you can’t deport the truth

“From the sea to Gaza - we will not forget you. We will not let you be forgotten. This is the voice of humanity.” 

 

These were the last words recorded from the Marinette, the last active boat of the Global Sumud Flotilla, before Israeli forces intercepted them on Friday. 

 

With roughly 500 participants from different countries aboard at least 42 vessels, the Global Sumud Flotilla set out carrying humanitarian aid in an historic effort to open up a humanitarian corridor in the Gaza strip.   

 

It was the largest civilian-led initiative ever to try and break Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza.   https://x.com/MiddleEastEye/status/1974069720119656459
