The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) has announced a new international effort to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza, with ships sailing between European ports before a planned attempt to reach the besieged Palestinian territory in October.

The FFC said its latest mission would go ahead despite the violence and torture meted out to flotilla volunteers on previous attempts, including severe beatings, repeated tasering and sexual assault.

The coalition also accused Israel of blocking the entry of food, medicine and fuel into Gaza, saying the humanitarian situation required renewed international action.

“The Freedom Flotilla sails again because our governments continue to fail to uphold their obligations,” said Zohar Chamberlain Regev, a FFC steering committee member.

“At every port, we will carry the demand that Palestinians be free to live with dignity. In October, we intend to carry that demand and the solidarity of people around the world to Gaza’s shores,” Regev said

    This is so idiotic. With that logic, would it be subjective to describe the following actions as bad, devilish, and awful? I could go to your house, rape you and your entire family, then torture you, finally kill you, and desecrate your body

        how do you decide if something is good or bad. Based on harm and suffering

        And those things didn’t happen? If it happen would you agree that it is objectively bad or not? Was the holocaust objectively bad or subjectively bad?

          Based on harm and suffering? So human emotions that you personally fell, influenced by how you’ve been taught and your morale values?

          A Nazi would argue that the holocaust is a good thing cause his morale values he’s been taught make him think that, so it’s your morale vs someone else morales.

          But again as a society we have agreed on on good and bad morales and the holocaust is probably one of the most horrible shit that we have done

            We are talking about an emotion and a physical feeling that is universal

            A Nazi would argue that the holocaust is a good thing cause his morale values he’s been taught make him think that, so it’s your morale vs someone else Morales.

            They are objectively wrong just like you

            You are so dumb
