We condemn the seizure of the Handala Flotilla by Israel
On July 26, shortly after 4:30 p.m. ET / 11:30 p.m. local time, the Israeli government intercepted and boarded the Handala, the latest Gaza flotilla boat to attempt to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, and abducted its crew. The Handala had 21 people on board from ten countries, including seven United States citizens. We issued the following statement condemning Israel’s actions:
The Center for Constitutional Rights stands proudly with the human rights defenders aboard the Handala aid ship and condemns Israel’s use of military force to yet again prevent the delivery of desperately needed humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza being starved to death by Israel. The use of force against the brave human rights activists on the Handala threatens their lives, as we have seen repeatedly, including in 2010, when Israeli commandos killed ten unarmed passengers, including one American citizen, on the Freedom Flotilla I.
This is not the first Freedom Flotilla that has attempted to break the siege on Gaza since this genocide started. In June of this year, Israel also unlawfully intercepted another vessel carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza. Also in June of this year, people of conscience from across the world participated in the March to Gaza. As states have woefully failed in their duty to prevent a genocide, people have courageously stepped in. Those on the frontlines representing the conscience of the world must be protected.
