Greta Thunberg qui vient d’arriver à Paris dénonce une attaque illégale et un kidnapping d’Israël et elle a mille fois raison parce que c’est exactement ce qui s’est passé. #FreedomFlotilla
Right now in Tel Aviv: many teens are burning their draft orders. We won’t take part in genocide. We won’t serve apartheid. Resist. Refuse! @Mesarvot_

By forcibly intercepting and blocking the Madleen, Israel has once again ignored its legal obligations towards civilians in the occupied Gaza Strip. The crew were unarmed activists and human rights defenders on a humanitarian mission. They must be released immediately and…
