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:

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.

It’s fair to say this social space tends to lean far left. But at the same time, outside of tankie circles, many users are pointedly not dogmatic about it, and in fact have a strong distaste for dogmatic approaches used by both the far right AND far left.

Thunberg is reductive in her approach to issues and geopolitics outside of climate matters, sure - but her ideology is based in humanism and trying to be a decent person while advocating for the human dignity of others, so I personally am willing to give her a rather generous benefit of the doubt. To compare her and her supporters to orangeboi and his is… well, kinda dumb. Thunberg’s supporters care about the environment and human rights. Orangeboi’s supporters care about white people being on top of society, and hurting “the bad people”, where “the bad people” is left intentionally extremely nebulous (more succinctly, they’re fascist supporters and enablers). This is not really an apples to apples comparison.

My previous comment calls you out (admittedly crudely) for expressing utter disdain and contempt for an ongoing human rights catastrophe and genocide, and I stand by that comment. I’m calling you out for being callously indifferent to the rampant suffering that’s being spitefully inflicted on a civilian population by a state actor.
