A U.S. soldier breaks the silence on what he witnessed in Gaza: crowds of unarmed Palestinians gunned down, force used not in combat but against civilians.
This isn’t just a war story. It’s a call for humanity.

On #WorldRefugeeDay, Palestinian climate campaigners, Rescue workers, @thunberggreta.bsky.social, civil society & activists launch #MadleenDeclaration! We call for a unified movement for a #FreePalestine & #ClimateJustice

In place of war and genocide, we demand a free Palestine. On Monday June 9, Israeli forces boarded the Freedom Flotilla Coalition sailboat Madleen in international waters and kidnapped her crew to prevent the passage of aid to the besieged Palestinian people. Despite at least 62,000 deaths and countless more people killed, injured, bereaved and displaced over the last two years in Gaza, it fell to one small boat to attempt to break Israel's blockade. The international community has allowed a genocide to unfold in plain sight. And the poison of impunity is spreading. A month ago the aid ship, Conscience, was bombed off the Maltese shoreline, over a thousand miles from Gaza. In place of racialised and deadly borders and blockades, we demand free movement. Tens of thousands - Palestinians fleeing occupation among them - have drowned in the central Mediterranean on the world's deadliest migration route. Here too, civilian ships and people seeking safety face obstruction and criminalisation as they keep humanitarian action alive; whilst European states sponsor. crimes against humanity. In return, Europe demands its neighbours act as border guards, buyers of its weapons and tech, and a stead supplier of fossil fuels and resources. The outcome is a sea where humanitarian ships and refugees are blocked whilst deadly arms and ecosystem-destroying fossil fuels move freely. In place of climate and environmental destruction and extraction, we demand a just transition and the restoration of our natural world. Read and sign The Madleen Declaration on our website (https://freedomflotilla.org/). Palestine provides a glimpse of where this could end for us all. Against this system, we must build a different future while we can.

Independent observers are critical, and not turning a blind eye

Together with our partners, we urge all #EU Member States & the @ec.europa.eu to:

❌halt arms transfers
❌sanction those responsible for ongoing atrocity crimes
❌suspend the trade agreement with Israel

Under the Genocide Convention, EU states are bound to act.

The UK High Court has ruled that Shell plc + its former Nigerian subsidiary can be held legally responsible for historic oil pollution which has devastated the environments of the Bille + Ogale communities in Nigeria.

There’s a long way to go in the case, but congrats today @leigh-day.bsky.social
