Of 42 ships in the Global Sumud Flotilla, one made it into the waters outside Gaza. It remains unknown whether they made it to Gaza or if they have been arrested by the Israeli navy just when they were about to enter.

While not officially confirmed, the following footage allegedly shows their arrival in Gaza:

edit: It seems this post has been taken down, it was probably a video from another occasion.

Other sources claim that the Mikeno too has been captured by Israel: https://mastodon.social/@Al_Quds_News14/115303483176696689

According to Israel via Al Jazeera, they have seized “all but one” of the vessels carrying aid:

This could refer to the Marinette, which is still just north of Cairo, or to the Mikeno, whose status is not confirmed:

Update:

It is with heavy hearts and sadness that we announce the Global Sumud Flotilla vessel “Mikeno” was seized by the Israeli Navy.

The captain, a hero, defied direct Israeli orders to shut his engine down and seize progression. He then went completely dark, shutting off all electronics and maneuvering past their blockade. The “Mikeno” made it within 7NM of the coast of Gaza. The ship was then intercepted, seized, and boarded by naval commandos deployed from multiple Israeli warships with drones flying overhead.

    Why in the hell would I (a secular atheist who DETESTS Islam) donate to a group of people that HATE me?

    These guys yeah?

    Germany arrests suspected Hamas members over alleged attack plot

    The men, named as Abed Al G, Wael F M and Ahmad I, were arrested in Berlin on Tuesday, the office added. Their arrests came a day before Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar.

    These lovely people? They come to our countries and terrorise us?

    Two dead in Manchester synagogue attack, with suspect also believed to have been killed - police

    https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cx2703lnww4t

    and of course, need I remind anyone

    The October 7 attacks were a series of coordinated armed incursions from the Gaza Strip into the Gaza envelope of southern Israel, carried out by Hamas and several other Palestinian militant groups on October 7, 2023

    The attacks, which were the first large-scale invasion of Israeli territory since the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, initiated the ongoing Gaza war.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_7_attacks

    Ukraine was minding its own business, literally dealing with its own politics and sense of direction (towards the EU instead of towards Russia) which Russia saw as a weakness and chance to attack, Hamas and the Palestinians saw a public holiday when the guard was down, many of the army would be taking some time off and invaded killing as many civilians as they could get their hands on. I’ll never forget seeing the Palestinian government denying it had shot up a music festival when I was watching videos recorded by the same terrorists of them shooting up the music festival

    So yeah, not a chance, I’d rather donate to starving children in Sudan:

    Sudan has been described as facing the world’s worst humanitarian crisis; nearly 25 million people are experiencing extreme hunger.[53] On 7 January 2025, the United States said it had determined that the RSF and allied militias committed genocide.[54]

    or aid to west African countries fighting Islamists, or any of the 1000 better places to send money than Palestine, a place whose population largely still support Hamas, think Oct 7 was a conspiracy and whose government as of a week ago still thinks all their own civilian deaths are worth it:

    A senior Hamas official has defended carrying out the deadly October 7 attacks on Israel, telling CNN that it created a “golden moment” for the Palestinian cause despite the tens of thousands of deaths in Gaza.

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/senior-hamas-official-defends-high-price-of-oct-7-for-palestinians-saying-attack-created-golden-moment/ar-AA1Nje2V

    So yeah… nah

      Well here is one more wikipedia link for you to consider

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_support_for_Hamas

      Assuming that you are not arguing in bad faith and not full of bs, you can not defeat a fascist dictatorship while trying to wash away the murder and blood of another one. Unless tolerance for fascist dictatorships are completely eradicated from the world, there will always be a next one waiting to prey on weaker countries.

      But I don’t have much faith for a discussion with you. Given that you equate criticism of Israel with support of Hamas or not caring for Sudanese genocide, I am almost 100% sure you are discussing in bad faith. If you really cared about Ukraine or Sudan, you would also care about the same terror being forced onto Palestinian children and civilians.

        Thank you for giving me the opportunity to do more research, I knew the situation in Sudan was bad but to see it has killed 100x more than the ‘genocide’ in Gaza has:

        Famine alone has killed an estimated 522,000 children, while the overall death toll of the war, including fatalities from violence, starvation, and disease, is even higher; thousands more remain missing or have been killed in targeted massacres, primarily attributed to the RSF and allied militias.[45][47] At least 61,000 people have died in Khartoum State alone, of which 26,000 were a direct result of the violence.[55] As of 5 February 2025, over 8.8 million were internally displaced and more than 3.5 million others had fled the country as refugees.[48]

        The numbers are staggering.

          No point arguing with .ml’s, they’re bad faith actors and social disruptors. Quite literally everything you’ve said is true, validly supported by reasoning, and a reasonable position.

          I don’t have money to donate, but I’d never donate to an org if I thought there was even a CHANCE it would end up in the hands if or for the benefit of globally recognized terrorists.
