In Support of Aid Flotillas and the End of Blockades and Occupations

and signers and deliverers of this petition to the governments of the world support the Global Sumud Flotilla.

Palestinians are being criminally deprived of food, water, and medicine. Those attempting to come to their aid should be assisted, not attacked.

On April 29, Israeli forces attacked 22 out of 55 Global Sumud Flotilla vessels in international waters—over 600 nautical miles from Gaza. Israeli commandos smashed and disabled boats (at least one has reportedly sunk), and abducted 175 civilians who were on board. While some detainees, a number of them bloodied and with broken bones, were left in Crete, two of the flotilla organizers—Saif Abu Kishek and Thiago Avila—remain in Israeli captivity. They are being arbitrarily detained, beaten, and subjected to baseless accusations of “terrorism”—the same smear used to criminalize Palestinian existence and global solidarity.

We condemn the illegal blockade and siege imposed on the people of Gaza and demand that it be immediately lifted.

We condemn the kidnapping, abuse, torture, and imprisonment of those attempting to uphold the law by nonviolently delivering aid to an occupied population. We demand the safe and unhindered passage of all humanitarian flotillas and civilian aid missions, as well as the immediate release of all flotilla participants.

We denounce the shameful silence and complicity of governments that should be not only protecting aid flotillas but also participating in them.
