Members of the Global Sumud Flotilla are vowing to continue their efforts to break Israel’s siege of the Gaza Strip, after two of the group’s ships came under fire from apparent drone attacks while docked in Tunisia. After initially downplaying the attacks, Tunisia’s Interior Ministry said Wednesday they were “premeditated” acts — but did not name a suspect. Activists have directly implicated Israel, with a spokesperson saying, “There is no other authority that would do such an attack.” On Wednesday, thousands of Tunisians rallied at a beach near Tunis to support the group’s efforts to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza.

Joelle Tichawzer: “We cannot commit ourselves to Palestine without committing ourselves to all the other oppressed. But it begins with Palestine, because Palestine crystallizes all the complicities of our governments. All the complicities of our governments. And that is why we, the people, must take the place of our governments, because they do not do it. And we, people who have never sailed, commit ourselves on boats and are going to achieve the impossible.”

Later in the broadcast, we’ll go to Tunisia for an update on the Global Sumud Flotilla.
