After multiple attacked flotillas, volunteers have launched *another* aid flotilla to try bringing aid to Gaza.

US/Israeli citizen & US veteran Bob Suberi explains why, as a "recovering Zionist," he is on the flotilla.

"…they're using my religion to justify the genocide they're participating in."

Columbia grad student with a green card and a pregnant US citizen wife, abducted by ICE because of his political organizing, and now his lawyers can't find him.

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov. This is your constituent. Bring him back home.
UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.
