A flotilla carrying humanitarian aid and activists, including Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg, is due to leave from Barcelona on Sunday to try to “break the illegal siege of Gaza”, organisers said.

The vessels will set off from the Spanish port city to “open a humanitarian corridor and end the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people”, said the Global Sumud Flotilla.

They did not say how many ships would set sail or the exact time of departure. The flotilla is expected to arrive at the war-ravaged coastal enclave in mid-September.

“This will be the largest solidarity mission in history, with more people and more boats than all previous attempts combined,” Brazilian activist Thiago Ávila told journalists in Barcelona last week.

      He’s asking an honest question, it’s better to educate then to insult. To answer his question I would simply respond that whatever the response is to Greta’s flotilla it can be used to either advertise change or protest against the status quo. There’s nothing that says it won’t end up like last time, but the constant effort towards more humanity is worth doing because that’s how we tell ourselves that we are still human.

        He is crying about thing that already happened instead of fighting trump . He probably never went to a single palestinian protests and not boycotted a product a single time. You guys are just using palestinians to defend one of the cultist party

        You are off topic anyway , this is about eu inaction not usa complicity
