Do aid flotillas make a difference to Palestinians under the Israeli blockade? | | Gaza News

Flotillas carrying aid to Gaza began in 2008, two years after Israel closed the gap. Two boats won, even though the Israelis tried to stop them.

Since then, the Israeli military has forced several flotillas back, arresting hundreds of activists, sometimes brutally and in international waters.

The latest attack has drawn international condemnation for the brutality of the activists, especially by the Israeli general minister.

Various countries have summoned their representatives to Israel in protest. But will they step forward and take action against Israel’s heinous atrocities against freedom fighters and Palestinians?
