'Israeli forces boarded the Gaza Aid Flotilla ship, the “Madleen,” early Monday morning local time and detained the 12 passengers on board, according to several reports.

The humanitarians on the ship, including globally-known humanitarian and Zeteo contributor Greta Thunberg, European Union Member of Parliament Rima Hassan, and several other volunteers, sought to deliver aid to Gaza.

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition says it has lost connection with the vessel, which was carrying medical supplies, diapers, baby formula, children’s prosthetics, and other desperately needed aid in Gaza.

One of the last images posted on the flotilla’s Telegram account showed those on the ship with their hands up.'

Before connection was lost, video from the vessel showed some form of white substance sprayed upon the vessel. Passengers reported the unknown liquid came from drones flying overhead, while the ship’s radios began being jammed.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Sunday that he instructed the Israeli military to take “any measures necessary” to block the aid ship – or as he called it, the “hate Flotilla” – from reaching Gaza.'

(Edit: as reported by Hareetz, the activists were "kidnapped", in the words of the Flotilla organizers, by Israeli forces and taken to Israel where they are being forced to watch October 7th footage "to show them who Hamas is" before being deported home... as if they've never seen any footage of the horrors committed daily in the past 1.5 years in Gaza, and as if showing this footage will somehow make everybody magically forget that they are STARVING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO DEATH at the very moment with violent military force. I find it hilarious that Israel thinks they can radicalize anybody to hatred against the entire Palestinian population with selective footage. That only works with their own people who have been sheltered from seeing anything else, not the International community.)

There is no kind of hate like Christian love. They asked for help, after the neighbors threatened to burn their house down, they got none; the neighbors burned down their house. When they went to check the mail, a neighbor killed one of them. The survivor asks we spread their story, because the press won't. State says there's no evidence it was a hate crime, effing pigs.

Gay couple in Texas: Lives in home for over two years with openly homophobic neighbors threatening to burn down their house, which the police refuse to respond to, return after neighbors have burned down their home to check the mail, to find the skull of their dog placed with its harness, and are confronted by a man with a gun who "starts yelling violent homophobic slurs" at them then opens fire and shoots one of them dead.

Police in Texas: Not a hate crime. How can this be related to his homosexuality? Release statement that "Despite online claims of this being a hate crime, currently the investigation has found no evidence to indicate that the Mr Joss's murder was related to his sexual orientation."

Jonathan Joss, the hero who saved his husband's life by pushing him aside while sacrificing his own life, was the voice of John Redcorn in King of the Hill, and played Chief Ken Hotate in Parks and Recreation. Rest in Peace, Jonathan. </3

Cool, #Google personal results removal tool considers "soyjack wiki" a doxxing site a "news source" and does not appear to approve removal requests

By Google's own policy the entire site should be removed not just one page, the entire thing is targeted doxxing and hate speech

Stop letting right-wingers have power. Vote, organize, and support vulnerable people.
