Israeli Forces Attack Gaza-Bound Aid Vessel Madleen

 

Unmasking a Humanitarian Betrayal: A Mission Derailed by Force

On June 9, 2025, at 01:00 PM, Israeli forces stormed the Madleen, a humanitarian vessel carrying aid to Gaza’s desperate millions. In international waters, 12 activists, including Greta Thunberg, were detained, their peaceful defiance of Israel’s blockade met with brute force.

A Calculated Assault

Five Israeli speedboats and drones spraying a mysterious white substance surrounded the unarmed Madleen, severing communication. The Freedom Flotilla Coalition’s cargo—baby formula, medical supplies—was confiscated, its mission to pierce Gaza’s starvation siege halted. 

The Blockade’s Cruel Underbelly

This attack, dubbed “piracy” by CAIR, lays bare Israel’s blockade as a tool of oppression, not defense. Since 2007, it has choked 2 million Palestinians, with UN warnings of famine ignored. The Madleen’s crew—Rima Hassan, Liam Cunningham, and others—stood as symbols of resistance, not “Hamas propagandists” as Israel’s minister claimed. This echoes the 2010 Mavi Marmara raid, where 10 died, exposing a pattern of silencing hope. The blockade’s true aim? To crush Gaza’s spirit under the guise of security, while the world watches in silence.

A Call to Shatter Complicity

The Madleen’s fate is a haunting cry for justice. As Gaza teeters on famine, the crew’s abduction demands a global response. Will you share this truth, demand their freedom, and challenge the siege? The fight for Palestine is a fight for humanity’s soul.
