Activists like Greta Thunberg and actors Susan Sarandon and Liam Cunningham are participating.
A flotilla of ships departed from Barcelona to the Gaza Strip Sunday with humanitarian aid and activists on board in the largest attempt yet to break the long Israeli blockade of the Palestinian territory by sea.
This comes as Israel has stepped up its offensive on Gaza City, limiting the deliveries of food and basic supplies in the north of the Palestinian territory. Food experts warned earlier this month that the city was in famine and that half a million people across the strip were facing catastrophic levels of hunger.
The Global Sumud Flotilla is carrying food, water and medicine. Activists on board demanded safe passage to deliver the much-needed aid and the opening of a humanitarian sea corridor, according to a statement. The almost 23-month war has killed more than 63,000 people, with at least 332 Palestinians dying of malnutrition, including 124 children, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
The maritime convoy of about 20 boats and delegations from 44 countries is claimed to be the largest attempt to date to break the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip by sea, which has now lasted 18 years.

A better start is to include the corrupt ‘journalists’ who are either lying about the cause of the starvation or have the professional competence of a Biden.
Sink them, sink them all in the river and the sea.....
There are some things even sharks won’t eat.

Sink them. Or rather, give one clear warning. Wait an hour for them up turn around and go home. If not, sink the lead boat and take it from there as necessary. Let’s put an end to this pro- terrorist hullsheit propaganda garbage,
. Oh yes, arrest the financiers snd orgdnziers of this rabble brigade —- there’s the most culpability of all.
...it was an easy target...
This is perhaps the greatest liberal virtue signaling we have ever seen. There is no shortage of food and medicine in Gaza, if Hamas would stop stealing it. This is completely unnecessary which, of course, why it is so appealing to the liberal mind
What did sharks ever did to you?

Why isn’t Gaza self sustaneable?
Same deal in Somalia back in the early '90s.
We got involved — Black Hawk Down.

Save the sharks, sink them all!
