Of 42 ships in the Global Sumud Flotilla, one made it into the waters outside Gaza. It remains unknown whether they made it to Gaza or if they have been arrested by the Israeli navy just when they were about to enter.

~~While not officially confirmed, the following footage allegedly shows their arrival in Gaza:~~

edit: It seems this post has been taken down, it was probably a video from another occasion.

Other sources claim that the Mikeno too has been captured by Israel: https://mastodon.social/@Al_Quds_News14/115303483176696689

According to Israel via Al Jazeera, they have seized "all but one" of the vessels carrying aid:

This could refer to the Marinette, which is still just north of Cairo, or to the Mikeno, whose status is not confirmed:

In either case these people are heroes. The person on the right side (their left) top row is the Fediverse's own @Vegard@fribygda.no, who is also the source of this image: https://fribygda.no/@Vegard/115299846437410236

Update:

It is with heavy hearts and sadness that we announce the Global Sumud Flotilla vessel "Mikeno" was seized by the Israeli Navy.

The captain, a hero, defied direct Israeli orders to shut his engine down and seize progression. He then went completely dark, shutting off all electronics and maneuvering past their blockade. The "Mikeno" made it within 7NM of the coast of Gaza. The ship was then intercepted, seized, and boarded by naval commandos deployed from multiple Israeli warships with drones flying overhead.

And what did you achieve today?

I setup a python script that runs on my laptop to use my solar batteries API, so now I automagically export solar power I generated during the day every night offsetting co2 emissions during the peak of fossil fuel usage between 6-8pm (My state of Queensland is unfortunately lagging all the other states in its addiction to coal power)

My next pay I'll be donating to UFL_Robin's charity to help get supplies to Ukrainian soldiers:

I've already donated over $1000 to https://protectavolunteer.com/, https://www.weaponstoukraine.com/, https://u24.gov.ua/sky-sentinel and others.

I'm also saving up for this bad boy:

https://zecar.com/reviews/australian-made-v2g-v2h-chargers-to-launch-in-2025

The latest updates suggest they can somehow get v2g working even with cars that don't support it, meaning I'll soon be able to save 100% of my solar output to my ev's battery and export a good chunk of it during peak fossil fuel times, I am already effectively climate positive (I reduce co2 emissions more than I output) but this will take it up a notch

So yeah, just because I think dumb publicity stunts are dumb publicity stunts doesn't make me an evil fascist nazi... but it does here so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Wow, so you could be awesome but still choose to be a dick. Some people are born dicks but you actually choose to be one. It makes it even worse.

You're truly a empty person. Your family and friends will be ashamed to have known you.
