>> On 30 April, hundreds of activists taking part in the #GlobalSumudFlotilla were unlawfully intercepted by Israeli authorities in international waters within the Greek search and

>> Ein klares Zeichen für die Flotilla und gegen Israels fortwährende Verbrechen: 11 Länder zeigen sich solidarisch mit der Flotilla und signalisieren damit auch, dass das eine Option ist.

Warum handelt unsere Regierung nicht mal dann, wenn die eigenen Leute betroffen sind? Wo bleibt der Aufschrei?
