STV’s reporters were constantly onsite in the war-ravaged area, documenting everything from everyday stories to major crises. Archivist Göran Hugo Olsson has compiled these images of the rise of the Israeli state, interspersed with Palestine's freedom struggle, into a monumental event.

Our Maine Gaza Solidarity Flotilla crew 🕊️🇵🇸

World governments could end the siege on Gaza. They could stop the genocide. Instead, ordinary people are risking their lives because governments have failed to act. We all need to demand that their lives and human dignity are respected, and that aid is allowed to reach the people or Gaza.

Please, call your reps RIGHT NOW and demand protection for the 500+ civilians and volunteers on board this humanitarian mission. An attack on this civilian, humanitarian and non-violent mission would be a flagrant violation of international law and a crime against humanity.

This is completely within the bounds and protections of international law. Now the Israeli Military has erected a naval blockade to stop the Global Sumud Flotilla. Organizers are treating it as an interception scenario, and THEY NEED OUR HELP.

The Global Sumud Flotilla is the largest civilian maritime mission organized to break Israel’s illegal siege on Gaza. Its goal is to deliver parcels of aid, and to establish a humanitarian sea corridor for nations to continue facilitating aid missions to Gaza without obstruction by Israeli military.

The first local sea parade of its kind, our flotilla arrived at Fort Gorges, met by activists who had draped a 100’ banner across the face of the historic fort, reading STOP ARMING GENOCIDE 🕊️🇵🇸. This beautiful convergence of solidarity activists was just one wave in the sea of change.
