RE: https://mastodon.ie/@GurgelSegrillo/116522212004557475
Has the Regime disappeared Chris Smalls after embarrassing an Oligarch on his special day?
Feels like something from a dystopian TV series, doesn't it.
Not one celebrity, even the ones claiming to be satirical and subversive on the runway, could give a fuck, could they?

"Israel Beats American Labor Organizer Chris Smalls (and Only Chris Smalls) in Latest Attempt to Keep Starving Gaza
Smalls joined the Freedom Flotilla on the Handala, a small boat carrying 21 brave souls including medics, lawyers, journalists, and justice seekers who dared to challenge Israel’s inhuman blockade on Gaza. For this act of solidarity, Smalls was violently attacked. Seven Israeli officers beat and choked him in custody, leaving visible injuries on his neck and back. Accounts from the Flotilla say that when his lawyer reached him, 'Chris was surrounded by six members of Israel’s special police unit. This level of force was not used against other abducted activists.' The report further condemns the violence and demands accountability for the assault and discriminatory treatment.
No other activist sailing with the flotilla has faced this level of brutality. The message was clear: a Black man who organizes labor and stands with Palestine is a threat the apartheid state cannot stomach.
Yet the media silence is deafening.
Israel has a long and well-documented history of anti-Black racism, even against Black Jews. Ethiopian Jews have faced forced sterilizations, police brutality, segregation in schools, and systemic discrimination in housing, employment, and healthcare. They’ve been treated as second-class citizens in a state that claims to be their homeland. Black asylum seekers from Eritrea and Sudan are labeled 'infiltrators' and caged in detention camps like Holot. Meanwhile, Afro-Palestinians living under occupation face the compounded violence of anti-Blackness and apartheid.
Smalls isn’t a Swedish climate celebrity with a PR team. He’s not a politician wrapped in diplomatic protections or media goodwill. He’s a Black man from Hackensack, New Jersey, who built worker power from a warehouse floor and dared to see his liberation connected to Palestine’s. That makes him dangerous and disposable in the eyes of the empire.
Where are the headlines? Where is the outrage from the same liberals who flooded the streets in 2020 and plastered Black Lives Matter on their timelines and lawn signs? When it comes to Palestine, too many Black liberal voices fall shamefully silent or worse, echo the same white supremacist talking points used to justify genocide. They dismiss Gaza as 'not our issue,' forgetting that Black struggle doesn’t stop at the borders of the imperial core. They forget the Afro-Palestinians who are bombed and starved too. They forget that the Israeli police who choked Smalls operate with the same funding, weapons, and impunity as the ones who killed George Floyd.
Black liberation is not a brand. It is not just a U.S. project. It is inseparable from the fight against all colonial violence and that includes Israel’s apartheid regime. So when Chris Smalls was the only person on the Handala violently assaulted by Israeli forces, it wasn’t an anomaly. It was part of a pattern."

'A popular political figure dramatically assaulted trying to save lives: Sounds like a newsworthy story, doesn’t it? But Smalls’ mission, his brutal detention and his subsequent release got next to no coverage in US corporate media.'

Chris Smalls is a national treasure and ordinary person with a big ❤️.
ICYMI, on Saturday, Israel boarded an aid ship that was determined to break their blockade of 🇵🇸. Chris was there.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jul/29/chris-smalls-amazon-labor-union-gaza
The kidnappers singled out Smalls, the renowned Black union leader standing up to Amazon, and beat him severely during his detention. Media are reporting SEVEN uniformed individuals were involved. Damned cowards.

I know Mastodon people are really smart
Here's a question: #ChrisSmalls was the only member of the #FreedomFlotilla beaten up by #ApartheidIsraelis.
Can you guess why?

"Solidarity with Chris Smalls
American labor leader kidnapped and brutally assaulted by Zionist forces
Chris was arrested by the Israeli Occupation Forces from the civilian aid ship 'Handala', together with 20 other activists. The ship was on its way to Gaza carrying vital humanitarian aid, in a symbolic effort to break the Zionist blockade and forced starvation of the Palestinian people.
Trade Unionists arrested from civilian aid ship on its way to Gaza:
🇪🇸 Santiago González Vallejo
🇹🇷 Hatem Laouini
🇺🇸 Christian Smalls: founder of Amazon Labour Union, the first trade union to be officially sanctioned to represent Amazon workers in the U.S. In May 2025 Smalls was our guest at the FNV HQ in Utrecht to explain how he achieved this: with unwavering authenticity and the courage to stand up for justice.Now, Chris needs our help: he is the only one of the 21 arrested activists to have been severely abused by the Zionist police: he was strangled and repeatedly kicked in the face and neck. As the only black prisoner, he is in a very vulnerable position in an apartheid state where holding prisoners without trial and subjection to torture are commonplace. …" [text continues on 3rd & 4th image]

As soon as you step out of the bounds of "acceptable" protest in "America" your granted celebrity evaporates. The rich lords turn up their noses to you, and you cease to exist to them as soon as you stop being "useful."

Amazon labor activist Chris Smalls being beaten to nearly an ounce of his life by the Israeli military invading the latest flotilla to Gaza should be the Number One thought in your minds this morning.
It's always the Black person who gets assaulted, huh?
