The zionists never fail to demonstrate their obnoxious behaviour.

And they do not care what the world thinks of them.

They perpetrated their latest crime today (October 8) by attacking the Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) vessels in international waters.

The zionist occupation forces intercepted several FFC boats and vessels sailing toward the Gaza Strip.

The vessels were attempting to break the occupying regime’s decades-long siege of the enclave.

They were carrying medicines, respiratory equipment and supplies worth US$110,000, intended for hospitals in Gaza that zionist Israel has bombed since October 2023.

There is hardly a hospital left functioning to cater to the needs of the people subjected to genocidal attacks by the zionist war criminals.

“At roughly 120nm away from Gaza, Israel has attacked our flotilla,” the coalition said later on Instagram’s platform.

While one can argue about the efficacy of this approach, one cannot deny the sincerity of the peace activists trying to break the siege.

The zionists have attacked every flotilla that has attempted to break the siege.

In May 2010, zionist commandos attacked the Mavi Marmara in international waters and murdered 10 Turkish citizens in cold blood.

As thieves and bandits, the zionists also stole all the food, water, medicines and baby milk formula destined for the starving Palestinians.

This they have done with every freedom flotilla ever since.

Prior to their latest attack on the FCC boats, the zionist war criminals had attacked the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) last week.

Again, the peace activists from 44 countries were only carrying food, water and medicines to the Palestinians being starved to death by the zionists.

That, however, is unacceptable to the demonic zionists.

Saving lives, especially Palestinian lives, is a crime in zionist lexicon.

GSF boats were intercepted in international waters, contrary to international and maritime laws.

All peace activists were arrested and dragged off their boats in chains.

They were hauled to Israeli prisons which are worse than the dungeons in medieval times.

Each and everyone of the peace activists was not only verbally abused but also subjected to physical abuse.

They were denied food and water and deprived of sleep.

Some activists reported that they were forced to drink toilet water because the zionists refused to provide them water.

Some peace activists have since been deported to Turkiye or countries in Europe, others remain in Israeli prisons.

While the international media has focused attention on the Swedish peace activist Greta Thunberg, on the Flotilla was also former Pakistani senator Mushtaq Ahmad Khan.

He was leading the five-member Pakistani delegation as part of the GSF.

He is a member of the Jamaat-i-Islami, the Pakistani political party that has consistently raised its voice against zionist crimes in Palestine.

On numerous occasions, Senator Mushtaq Ahmad also raised on the senate floor the issue of zionist genocide in Gaza.

Senator Ahmad and about 150 of his companions were released from Israeli prison on October 7.

They are currently in Amman, Jordan and are schedule to return to Pakistan on October 9.

Despite his advanced age, Senator Ahmad was reported to be in good health and high spirits.

He has emerged as the conscience of the Pakistani people.

Senator Ahmad has also advocated for the release of Dr Aafia Siddiqui held in horrible conditions in a US prison in Texas.

Together with Aafia’s sister and lawyer Clive Stafford Smith, Senator Ahmad visited the incarcerated Pakistani neuro-scientist in prison last year.

As the world grapples with the zionists’ obnoxious behaviour, one should not forget the efforts of peace activists worldwide trying to draw attention to zionist war crimes.
