hi everyone, i know i haven’t updated my blog in a while with fics or anything, but after reading and seeing the current situation, i urge you to read through this post and SPREAD.
!!!! please spread about the GLOBAL SUMUD FLOTILLA to all platforms you have, no matter how small or big your audience is! this is very important and is a pressing matter. time is RUNNING OUT𑁋Gaza is on the brink of total destruction. !!!
to summarise... GSF is a non-governmental, international coordinated maritime mobilization, made up of a coalition of civilians and everyday people from various nations—organizers, humanitarians, doctors, artists, clergy, lawyers, faith leaders, and seafarers. Right now, they are aiming to break the Israhell's siege of the Gaza Strip, and deliver urgent humanitarian and medical aid. It is NON-VIOLENT, powered by COMPASSION, and heavily relies on SOLIDARITY.
for more information, here’s the official website and their official Instagram. here are also more articles (Al-Jazeera, Malaysia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs statement, how to help - freedomflatilla.org) if you want to read further.
WHY SHOULD YOU HELP SPREAD/DONATE?
Please help amplify the message, spread to everyone and anyone.
If we all speak up, it makes it harder for the public to ignore further what’s happening Gaza and the rest of Palestine. This flotilla is a concrete, visual and immense effort pulled together to bring aid and the spotlight to those oppressed and suffering. WITHOUT awareness, advocacy, and pressure, this situation will continue to be neglected, and this humanitarian effort will risk been unseen. > WHAT TO DO? Share updates, articles, and videos about the flotilla on social media. Use hashtags like #GlobalSumudFlotilla and #LetAidThrough so posts are more visible. On posts about the flotilla, tag your favourite artists, influencers𑁋don't mind that they might not answer or ignore. Just do it, repeatedly. Ask them to use their platform to speak out publicly. If you can, join vigils, protests, or community gatherings help build pressure and show governments people care and we are tired of the oppression. Donate to organizations providing aid or legal support to activists and civilians in Gaza. - Many groups publish transparent needs lists (food, medical kits, communication equipment).
2. SOLIDARITY AMPLIFIES MORAL PRESSURE. when many people𑁋especially from different nations𑁋know about this mission, talk about it, and support it, this creates pressure on governments, international media and institutions to react or at least respond. Governments are more likely to respond when its citizens, largely, are protesting and speak up with serious condemnations and threats (of riots, strikes, etc). Here are news articles showing you real life examples of why and how solidarity and speaking up works: theSun - Malaysia's delegation in the flotilla, The Star - Malaysia's Cabinet statement regarding Israeli airstrikes on Global Sumud Flotilla in Tunisia, Pakistan, 15 countries urge protection of Global Sumud Flotilla to Gaza, FO expresses concerns over security of Global Sumud Flotilla, calls for respect of international law.
3. Simply due to human rights and international laws. By now, I am sure you know what the Israeli (and the countries and nations supporting them) are doing are war crimes.
4. CHALLENGE the SILENCE and PROPAGANDA. If you’ve ever learnt history before, you must know that in this conflict𑁋and many others𑁋the narrative is controlled. Misinformation is spread, and the voices of innocent civilians and witnesses are marginalized. If you’ve ever learnt about the N*zi in Germany, this is a sufficient example for you to understand what I’m talking about.
When we give more and more attention to the GSF, it helps break through the silence, the controlled one-sided narratives, and let people see the real, humane angle𑁋who’s involved, who’s actually at fault in the conflict, what risks the volunteers are taking, what they aim to do, and the obstacles they face.
TDLR:
Spreading the word may seem like a small act, but silence is complicity. Every share, conversation, and show of support adds to a chorus demanding justice and dignity.
The Global Sumud Flotilla carries not just aid, but a message: that ordinary people, united, can challenge injustice. Let’s not let their voices sail unheard.
You don’t have to be Muslim to stand with Palestine. 🇵🇸
