(en) France: UCL Communiqué: Free the Sumud Flotilla, Free Gaza! (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Date Wed, 22 Oct 2025 08:41:50 +0300


On the night of October 1 to 2, most of the ships of the Global Sumud Flotilla were stopped by the Israeli military. ---- This operation was carried out in total illegality, as the flotilla was then in international waters where it had the right to sail freely. ---- In maritime language, this is called piracy and it must be said that, with the ongoing genocide, Netanyahu no longer stops at anything. ---- Faced with humanitarian aid medicines and infant formula transported on boats by unarmed people the Israeli government deployed heavily armed soldiers.

Sumud means resilience in Arabic.
This flotilla of about forty vessels brought together activists for the Palestinian cause from all over the world.
On board were 50 French participants: journalists, members of parliament, trade unionists, and more.
All the crews of the ships that were seized were kidnapped and interrogated by Israeli forces.

The crimes of the Zionist state in Gaza are nothing less than a straightforward genocide of the population.
The humanitarian blockade of Gaza is an outrage.
Meanwhile, the West Bank continues to be ever more heavily colonized.
We must put all our energy into building a balance of power to put an end to this.
France, while hypocritically having "recognized" the State of Palestine a few days ago, remains complicit in the war since it continues to supply arms to Israel.
The repression of the pro-Palestinian movement in France is reaching levels that highlight the crucial importance of this struggle.
In Marseille, on October 2, 120 people were arrested for demonstrating outside Eurolinks, a weapons manufacturing plant.

One boat managed to slip through the net but was stopped on Thursday.
At the time of writing these words, another flotilla, the Thousand Madleen, is also on its way to Gaza, and more will follow.
We will keep our eyes fixed on Gaza.

Free our comrades detained in France and Israel!
Stop the genocide and the arms deliveries to Israel!
Free Gaza!
Free Palestine!
