Tony Blair heading up so-called Gaza International Transitional Authority is disgustingly apt for an imperial plan.
Not only is he a war criminal who led UK invasion of Iraq, but he now heads Tony Blair Institute - a capitalist haven for security & global imperial governance in "fragile states."

Beautiful to see more support infrastructure joining the flotilla - much of which exists because they are responses to border violence.
Life Support medical vessel now joining has been doing missions in Central Med - world's deadliest border, and has done over 3000 rescues.

Recognition of State of Palestine by Canada, France, UK etc is not only performative it is dangerous.
It doesnt commit to ending genocide or implementing arms embargo and sanctions.
Plus, explicitly calls for demilitarization of Palestine and disarming resistance.
Reviving Oslo is not an option!

escalation of fascism around migration - w/ anti immigration protests from toronto to australia to UK - is not a coincidence. borders create false binaries of workers vs migrants; provides a convenient scapegoat for austerity, and reinforces racism.
