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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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.

Worth pointing out, if you’re feeling a bit disappointed that the Mikeno didn’t quite make it, don’t see it as a failure. The fact we’re even a little disappointed shows how much the flotilla raised the bar! A few weeks ago coming anywhere near the shore would have seemed impossible. What an incredible achievement. Every stage of this flotilla has been an inspirational victory for humanity.
Bringing together all those people from all around the world. Actually getting 50 vessels in the water. Getting 40 to the “red line”. Refusing to stop. The Mikeno getting so close to Gaza that they could literally almost see it. Inspiring the world, bringing protests out around the world in support.
Like the prison break on October 7th, this shows the entire world that the myth of the all-seeing, all-powerful Zionist project is built on pillars of sand. A few dedicated heroes in some barely seaworthy boats came within a bee’s dick of breaking their 20 year blockade.
The Sumud had more victories than we can count. Any Zionist thinking they “won” this engagement is, as usual, completely deluded.
Great point, only thing I would add is this:
This is not the last. This success will inspire others, and the next flotilla will be larger. Who knows how much larger, but we saw last night that Israel could barely keep up with 50 boats. Israel may get aggressive, but then that triggers a whole new monster of the world they’ll have to deal with.
