Turkish activist Omar Aslan known as the “Turkish John Wick” said he was beaten in five separate assaults by 27 Israeli soldiers after being detained aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla attempting to break the siege on Gaza.

“Six people beat me because I look like Keanu Reeves” Aslan said adding “I could not endure the beatings for even one day while innocent people in Gaza have suffered this for years.”

“The only thing that makes me cry is that thousands in Gaza were waiting for this humanitarian aid. We did everything we could. I am sorry.”

Nobody better represents Israeli politics today than Itamar Ben-Gvir

“No, you’re not hallucinating: western governments really are condemning Israel, one-by-one, without equivocation. Not because of the ongoing genocide in Gaza that has killed more than 70,000 Palestinians, of course, but because of a PR stunt in which Israel’s national security minister filmed himself taunting foreign activists.”

Nadat al onze smeekbeden om een gezonde maaltijd en medische behandeling onbeantwoord bleven 💔 is onze vreugde nu verbrijzeld door het verlies van ons ongeboren kindje 😭. Mijn moeder heeft nu dringend een dilatatie en curettage (D&C) nodig, die $200 kost. We doen een beroep op uw medeleven en menselijkheid om ons te helpen in deze verwoestende situatie; na God hebben we niemand anders meer om ons tot te wenden dan u 💔🙏

“We were tortured. 180 people were systematically bashed and beaten. People had broken ribs, were sexually assaulted, tased in the face, and injected with unknown sedatives.”

Global Sumud Flotilla activist Juliet Lamont described severe abuse by Israeli occupation forces after activists attempting to break the siege on Gaza were attacked in international waters and abducted aboard prison ships.

Lamont said detainees were subjected to a “planned campaign of violence” aimed at terrifying activists and preventing future solidarity missions to Gaza.

She recounted being cable tied, water tortured, and sexually assaulted while held by Israeli forces before being transferred to Ashdod.

“They’ve broken our bones but they haven’t broken our soul,” Lamont said. “Free Palestine.”

Israel is reviving an obscure 1968 government order to unilaterally seize some 50 properties directly adjacent to the al-Aqsa Mosque compound. Residents say the move is an effort to remove Palestinians and to complete the Judaization of Jerusalem.
