"Kidnapped in Int'l Waters": Israel intercepts Gaza-bound aid ship, detains Greta Thunberg and others

Just as we save the climate, we save lives

(Democracy Now!) June 9, 2025: Eleven peace activists and one journalist on board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla ship, the "Madleen," have been detained by Israeli IDF paratroopers and soldiers as their ship carrying vital humanitarian aid for starving Palestinians approached Gaza (maritime Palestine).

The ship was intercepted by Israeli forces in the middle of the night in international waters.

Its supplies were seized and communications jammed. [The occupants were sprayed with a chemical and forced to throw their cellphones into the sea, after being attacked by an IDF drone that injured four.]

The unarmed activists will likely be transported to Israeli detention or "immediately deported," says Ann Wright, a U.S. military veteran who has participated in four Freedom Flotilla journeys and now serves on the steering committee of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition.

She calls on citizens of countries around the world to push for the activists' release and an end to Israel's war on Gaza.
