John,

As millions of Palestinians, including children and infants, face
starvation and man-made famine in Gaza while the Israeli government
continues to block aid, a group of unarmed activists known as the Freedom
Flotilla Coalition bravely tried to sail to Gaza on a humanitarian mission
to deliver baby formula, food, and medical supplies to Palestinians.

But last night, the Freedom Flotilla’s ship, the Madleen, was attacked and
intercepted by Israeli forces.

Among those on board were Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and French
member of the European Parliament Rima Hassan, both of whom were detained.
Israeli authorities now say they plan to show the activists footage of
October 7 before deporting them, an act meant to intimidate, deflect, and
justify violence, rather than address the humanitarian crisis at hand.

Israel does not have the legal authority to detain civilians in
international waters.

'Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international
law to board or divert the Madleen. This is a hijacking, plain and simple.
A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple European citizens on
board. Anything to say @Keir_Starmer or @vonderleyen?'

Once again, Israeli officials have acted with total impunity just to stop
desperately needed food and supplies from reaching Palestinians — a war
crime.

humanity, including this abduction of human rights activists. Add your
name to demand an arms embargo NOW!

Israel is breaking international law by starving millions of Palestinian
civilians and obstructing the delivery of humanitarian aid. The U.S.
cannot continue to supply Israel with weapons and enable its genocide —
It’s beyond time for Congress to act.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
