Freed participants arriving in Istanbul

After two days of unlawful detention and illegal abuse from Israeli officials, international Flotilla volunteers were released today and flown to Istanbul. We’ve gotten news of the use of tasers, sexual harassment, and injuries requiring hospitalization for some of our volunteers. This news comes after we've seen statements from Canadians officials condemning far-right war criminal Ben Gvir & summoning the Israeli ambassador to....talk about his ‘abominable' actions.

Inviting the Israeli ambassador to chat obviously isn't enough. The problem is not one far-right Israeli cabinet minister. The Israeli government took a decision to attack and abduct Flotilla volunteers who were following international law. These Israeli attacks are flagrant violations of international law - and should signal to Canadian officials that Israel never follows international law or human rights. Israeli abuse of Palestinian human rights is systemic, inhumane and much worse than our Flotilla volunteers suffered. Our government knows this — and must act on this knowledge.

Hateful politicians like Ben Gvir aren't created in a vacuum. They're a symptom of a much larger problem - of a government that has systemically dehumanized an entire nation of people. A repressive government that is always ready to abuse Palestinians and anyone who dares to stand with them.

We have to continue to expose Israel's war crimes until our government issues an appropriate response that is more than just words - we need actual sanctions and a full withdrawal of Canadian support for Israel.

This Flotilla has never operated as just one mission. It's part of a broader movement, to continue to put pressure on international governments, to force them to take concrete action — to help end the blockade of Gaza, and Israeli apartheid.
