Sunday, May 24, 2026

"Freedom Flotilla volunteers who were abducted and jailed by Israeli authorities while in international waters have reported being subjected to sexual abuse and torture while in Israeli captivity. Some 430 Samaritans, who were held after Israeli forces raided the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla, were deported to Istanbul on Thursday evening.

  • One of the many victims: "IDF soldiers beat us up. They kicked us and punched us and shouted Welcome to Israel'."
  • Miriam Azem, from the Israeli human rights group Adalah, reported that one of the volunteers "was forced to strip naked and run while guards laughed."
    Israeli National Security Advisor Itamar Ben-Gvir taunted the captured humanitarians. He is not a good human being.

    In Gaza, the death toll has now risen to 72,834 human beings; 20,179 children; 12,500 women. Since 7 Oct 2023, a staggering 172,779 Palestinians have been wounded or maimed by the IDF in an area the size of Philadelphia, PA.

    The peace-loving, hardworking American taxpayer is sick and tired of sending billions of dollars every year to this Pariah nation/Rogue state that offers world class universal healthcare to all its residents while Americans languish in an insidious for-profit system with the effects of the Big Beautiful Bill already starting to impact poor and vulnerable people this year.
