“We at SID support the Global Sumud Flotilla because it represents hope that humanity can triumph over insanity. When governments fail, as they have repeatedly, it’s time for people to take power into their own hands. We must stop the genocide of the Palestinian people and restore international law over the illegal colonial occupation of Palestine. And we must do it now!”
Stefano Prato, SID Managing Director
About the Global Sumud FlotillaThe Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) is the largest civilian maritime mission organized to break Israel's illegal siege on Gaza. Coordinated by grassroots organizers, seafarers, doctors, artists, and solidarity activists from over 40 countries, the flotilla is a nonviolent humanitarian mission responding to the ongoing genocide and siege against the Palestinian people.
