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.

Yes, I’ve met muslims. Yes, I’m familiar with the differences between the Taliban and Hamas, and how Hamas is an even more violent offshoot of another violent Islamic terrorist the Muslim Brotherhood. I’m familiar with the differences between Shia and Sunni. My strong distaste for Islam is, unfortunately, backed by research into the faith, its origins, and the history of its effect on populations of the world.

Didn’t say it wasn’t noteworthy, nor did I say it should continue. I only said that if it were up to them I would be dead, apostasy is punishable by death under Sharia law and atheism counts as apostasy.

Further, this is only one of many genocides going on in the world at the moment, and while still sad and condemnable, is less “effective” than others — say the genocide of the Uyghurs in China, or the countless genocidal/humanitarian crises in Africa affecting Muslims and non-muslims alike on a scale that dwarfs Palestine/Israel. How/why should I give more than a second of thought to things I have no control over and don’t affect me or my loved ones on the other side of the world? Again, tragic stuff, but tf am I gonna do? Virtue signal for internet points? Nah, enough people doing it already and it’s inescapable.
