“They have no soul but we’re stronger” – flotilla activist on Israel’s rape and violence

Australian anti-genocide activist Juliet Lamont has spoken of the horrors she and other volunteer flotilla crew members suffered after their abduction by Israel in international waters. The Global Sumud Flotilla ships were trying to deliver humanitarian aid to Palestinians under Israel’s illegal starvation blockade.

Deported crew members show signs of torture and report numerous rapes and the deliberate breaking of bones. Israeli fascist minister Itamar Ben-Gvir himself posted video of the volunteers being beaten and humiliated. But after her own deportation, Lamont gave more detail on what was perpetrated on her and others.

It’s truly horrific – but she and her fellow humanitarians are unbowed.

Trigger warning

Absolute bombshell. Prominent Australian activist Juliet Lamont exposes the terrifying reality of Zionist detention.

Keir Starmer remains disgustingly silent on the crimes Israel has perpetrated on UK citizens among the crew. He has found time to boast about his racist immigration policies and blather about golf, though.

Most other Western governments are little better. Some ‘mainstream’ media outlets have given this scandal some derisory coverage, but only because many of those tortured and raped have fair skin. Palestinians suffer these horrors daily, to deafening silence from western politicians and ‘mainstream’ media.
