As Freedom Flotilla waits for Turkey's green light, survivors of Israel's genocide speak

On the evening of April 23, 2024, humanitarian activists learned that the departure of the Freedom Flotilla's emergency mission to Gaza had been delayed, yet again, by Turkey's Erdoğan government. When they gathered to receive the news of the delay, survivors of Israel's genocide in Gaza spoke of the horrors they experienced at the hands of the Western-backed Israeli regime.

The amount of trauma and suffering the Palestinians have endured and endured everyday is unbelivable

[@andreasbuttinger2774]

Still endure!

[@ladyd8339]

Until I hear Palestinian women were raped till their pelvic bones were broken, Palestinian babies were beheaded and roasted and children taken hostage, then I will judge their trauma compared to the Israelis! Not everybody is as gullible as you want them to be!

[@user-uv9tl4jt8w]

The Palestinians suffer because their terrorist activities inflict pain on Israelis and Christians around the world.

May Allah bless you, Dimitri. Love and respect from Thailand 🇹🇭

[@peggydandridge6611]

Good luck Dimitri and safe journey to you all. It is clear "they" do not want you in there. They don't want witnesses or humanitarian aid. Thank you for your courage.

Thanks Dimitri, for your great work👌🏼🍉✌🏼💜

Erdo is taking his sweet time to give the green light for the Freedom Flotilla. Meanwhile turkish goods continue to be shipped to the war criminals.

God bless you all for standing with humanity❤

[@user-vr6io5xb9e]

Do you need a permission from Turkish authorities ? If so why? I thought it’s organized and paid by the charity group?

[@sweeetly]

@@user-vr6io5xb9e Thats what I thought. What does politics have to do with the choices of civilians and NGO's? No one is asking Erdogan to pay for anything. This is way beyond politics then.

[@widiausman52]

Thank you somuch Dimiti. Hope everything going well til Gaza ❤❤❤

[@sheilamashali6426]

Erdogan has to allow this trip to happen because I think he is doing badly in the local elections for not making more of an effort to help the Palestinians. The Turkish army is one of the strongest army in the World. Good look to all these people and Dimitri for having the guts to take part in this Flotilla of Aid for the Palestinians.

[@TheBoussadra]

Super! Be safe, bless you all

[@katharinefoley]

Erdogan talks out of both sides of his mouth, he's a snake! God Bless all involved in the Flotilla, huge respect for you all!!

So true.I lost any little respect I had for him.If he dont change course he will rot in hell.

There is no end to the complicity in this. Turkey talks the talk, but doesn’t walk the talk, that’s why a certain person is losing at the polls.

[@bernaguvenc4029]

Thank you again Dimitri again for your update. If you say Friday as the sail day, I must warn you that it could be Sunday or later.....that's how things are organized there, eventhough I've been living out of Turkey for 47 years, that'sthe way things go😅....I'd say, enjoy your kebaps, "manti"( a ravioli shaped pasta) and that delicious brewed tea with "simit" and be patient...when it's time to sail, safe and healthy sailing to all of you💫

[@blackcreekorganicfarm296]

Great work keep it up

[@moalllivesmatter]

I so wish I'm part of this phenomenon wonderful beautiful awesome people right now.... and if I die, I die.... nothing is left in this awful world other than to ensure justice is served to everyone that's being oppressed... Free Free Palestine 😢😢😢❤

[@user-uv9tl4jt8w]

There is no oppression in democratic countries, otherwise Muslims would not desperately want to immigrate to the West.

Approximately how long will it take to sail from Istanbul once the ship sets off?

[@MichaelHolloway]

'how the poet feels' - used to be a collective angst that poets engendered (have not seen it yet - just struck me as a character of our times). Agreed about you gut feeling. this is more distraction from the famine. Worst case is IL drowns the entire US/Canadian/European peace movement leadership.

Erdogan delaying because he is negotiating funds first.

[@user-uv9tl4jt8w]

Why doesn’t this person from Gaza tell us about the whereabouts of the Israeli hostages? Do you know the pain the hostages’ families are suffering?

[@bedardpelchat]

Erdogan made strong statements against Israel stand on Palestinians but he is not in a position to give lessons to anyone considering the Armenian and Kurdish policies of his government. It is not as if Turkey had a great distance to do to reach Israel but his direct involvement would be politically unsustainable on the long run. Turkish people may be at a high level pro Palestinian but a direct conflict with Israel would make this pleasant stroll on the Bosphore something of the past.

[@Ercan-fc2oq]

First of all Erdogan is a romanist judeo Christian from Georgia he is not Turkish, the kurds and turks are both Muslim people. Armenians I mean those cryptos living in turkey are a huge issue they commit terrorist crimes and racist stuff by pretending to be turks and kurds, so no matter what you do you will not split turks and kurds we have the same cause against romanist crusader terrorists, the so called Turkish government is like zero % Turkish, don't play games with us.
