We are preparing the largest flotilla to Gaza in history. In a coordinated act of civil resistance a global alliance will sail to break Israel’s illegal siege. This is more than a flotilla - it is a global uprising of conscience. @freedomflotilla.bsky.social freedomflotilla.org/2026/03/18/j...

On 16 March 2003, an israeli soldier crushed to death Rachel Corrie in Rafah, Gaza, using a US-made Caterpillar D9 armored bulldozer, as she tried to stop their demolition of a Palestinian family’s home. A college graduate, at 23 she went to Gaza with the International Solidarity Movement*... 1/2

Israeli and U.S. violence and terror must STOP NOW! Millions of civilians are being displaced, bombed, killed, starved, and subjected to chemical attacks before the world’s eyes. ACT NOW. ✊🏽🇵🇸🇮🇷🇱🇧 Freedom for all peoples living under occupation and exploitation. @freedomflotilla.bsky.social

Together we must #BreakTheSiege of Gaza. The genocide of the Palestinian people is not only still raging but exponentially ramping up, while Zionist & imperialist leaders are trying to make us look away. There is no ceasefire, there never was... 1/2 @freedomflotilla.bsky.social

Fishers in Gaza do not die from accidents at sea but are killed by Israeli gunfire. Their boats sink after being shot or rammed by patrol boats. Video of a story shared with us available at: t.me/FFC_official... 4/4

Despite it all, fishing remains "an integral part of Palestinian history and culture, and the motif of a fishing net can be found on the keffiyeh. Fishing is our heritage, our culture, and a vital means of subsistence”. 3/4

... genocidal campaign, severe movement restrictions, and the systematic shrinking of fishing zones, the fishing community in Gaza has been pushed to the brink. 2/4

There are only about 100 Palestinian fishers in Gaza today. In 2000, there were about 10,000. Israel has intentionally targeted fishers in a calculated effort to destroy Palestinian means of subsistence, self-reliance, and livelihood. Through Israel's naval violence... 1/4

We've been sailing to break Israel’s illegal siege of Gaza for almost two decades. The first Free Gaza Movement flotilla that reached Gaza in 2008 promised Palestinians “we won’t stop sailing until Israel’s siege is broken". We've kept that promise. We won’t back down. chuffed.org/project/1386...

Act Now! Israel is moving to legalize executing Palestinian hostages while denying them legal access, holding them in isolation, and granting total immunity to those who carry out the killings. This is the logical outcome of decades of impunity, racist dehumanization... 1/2

Silence enables this. Mobilize now. Demand a dismantling of Israel's illegal blockade. Escalate pressure for a full arms embargo, sanctions & accountability under international law. Strengthen #BDS efforts. Center Palestinian voices. Join and support the Freedom Flotilla Coalition.

One of the largest arms shipments to israel since Oct 2023 is set to pass near Greece 24 Dec. This shipment can still be stopped. States are obliged to block weapons used in genocide. Dockworkers and civil society must refuse to load/unload. Disrupt the supply chain. #BlockTheBoat

The Freedom Flotilla will sail again in 2026. Civil society will not stand by while Gaza is strangled and annihilated. We are preparing more vessels, more international participation and more coordinated actions than ever before to #BreakTheSiege of Gaza. @freedomflotilla.bsky.social

All 145 of our comrades have been released, but thousands of Palestinians remain imprisoned — abducted from their homes, held without trial, tortured, disappeared.

In May Israeli drones bombed ‘Conscience’ near Malta. Repaired and 120 nm from Gaza 'Conscience' carries 92 people of conscience, mostly medical and media workers. An Israeli military helicopter is attacking 'Conscience' and 8 other accompanying boats are being hijacked. t.me/FFC_official...

Journalists, healthcare workers and activists meet at sea. Their shared goals: to break Israel’s illegal siege of Gaza; open a sea corridor, and end the genocide. ‘Conscience’ and Thousand Madleens to Gaza sailboats are just days away from arriving in Gaza, Palestine. @freedomflotilla.bsky.social

Months after Israeli drones bombed 'Conscience' near Malta, we sail again - this time with Thousand Madleens to Gaza. We sail because Israel kills and imprisons Palestinian journalists, blocks foreign media & starves Gaza’s health system while targeting its doctors. @freedomflotilla.bsky.social 1/2

Reports in some media outlets/on social networks have linked the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) to the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), set to sail at the end of August/early September. We wish to clarify: Following the successful voyages of the Free Gaza Movement in 2008/9, the FFC...
