June 1st, we’ll attempt to, again, sail towards Gaza and to try to break the siege and open up a humanitarian corridor by delivering aid like food and medical supplies,” says Thunberg. A similar mission to sail to occupied Gaza in May was aborted after a flotilla dubbed the “Conscience” suffered two drone attacks while in international waters.

“Keep your eyes on deck, continue flooding the streets, organize, boycott, and do everything in your power to stand for Palestine,” Thunberg ends her message, readying to set sail for Gaza from Catania, Sicily, on Sunday with aid supplies and several high-profile activists alongside her.

How the fuck is this not in the news? Their boat got bombed off the coasts of sicily! Sigonella is just there, there's no way they don't know who did it.

I heard about it on DemocracyNOW, they're pretty good about covering Israel's many crimes.

When the Putler might have done it, you will see the front page splattered with accusations about deep sea cables. (and barely any corrections when that turns out to be false accusations)

When Israel does it you better have Netanyahu personally admitting to it on video else the media will not give it a second thought.
