Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also xcancle.org (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
Update: The new flotilla, Freedom Flotilla - Thousand Madleens to Gaza & Conscience website and livestream:
From the Global Sumud Flotilla telegram:
👀 As we approach the high risk ‘orange zone’ we need eyes on the Flotilla ❗️
Witness provides protection.

It looks like it’s Mikeno or bust. The official tracker says they are still sailing, all other boats intercepted or assumed intercepted
Even if Mikeno is captured, nothing stops. Another flotilla is underway from Italy already. The 1000 Madleens flotilla is scheduled for this month. How far they've gotten with just these tiny boats, how much focus and attention they've gotten, the straightforward and effective messaging... I don't think this is a movement which can easily be stopped, no matter what. Every new group of ships adds to the PR nightmare for "Israel" and any reaction they have to it will only make it worse.
From what I've read they have 30 years of experience doing this. To me this is a shining beacon of what organized action and masses of people can do.
Let eternal flotillas rain on the shores of Gaza, as many as it takes.
100000%. I was saying to a friend 12 hours ago, no matter what happens next, sumud already won
It's almost unbelievable what they achieved here. Truly breathtaking.
