Have you ever seen the world governments await an act of international terrorism to happen to their citizens and do absolutely nothing?
This is what we’re witnessing as the Global Sumud Flotilla is being intercepted by Israeli forces.
As I am writing this, over ten ships have already been intercepted. The likelihood of any boats of the flotilla reaching the shores of Gaza is decreasing with each minute.
As I say in my (shortest ever) podcast episode, I believe “a miracle” is the word I am looking for.
Whatever happens, we move forward. Several countries are already on fire, and Italy has announced another strike.
Whatever happens, we will always remember what courage looks like:
And we will never forget the cowardice (my video, slightly shorter than my podcast episode):
And not only do we admire the courage of the flotilla members — we have to replicate it ✊🏽
As always: stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
❤️💔❤️

PS. Thank you all who have contributed to and spread the word about my direct fundraiser for families in Gaza. We have quickly collected 966 EUR (updated: September 29, 2025) that I have now passed to my friend’s family to distribute to those most in need.
If you’d still like to contribute, please consider donating to my other friend’s fundraiser here.
