"Shameful": Israel Seizes Gaza-Bound Vessels & Detains 400+, But More Boats Are Now Heading to Gaza
Palestinian activist Saif Abukeshek, who is on the steering committee of the Global Sumud Flotilla, says this latest attack reveals ongoing international complicity with Israel's violations of international law. "Israel has been committing genocide for 22 months, and nothing happens," says Abukeshek.
We also speak with reporter Emily Wilder, who is on board the "Conscience," still sailing toward Gaza as part of a later wave in the ongoing campaign to break the siege. She says that it was important for her, as a journalist, to bear witness and make it clear that "Israel does not represent my voice."

Backed by Italy’s major trade unions, the demonstration turned into a political movement, calling for a nationwide str*ke on October 3. Marchers clashed with police near Palazzo Chigi before reaching Piazza San Silvestro, highlighting rising public anger over the humanitarian crisis and pressuring Italy’s government to act.
