farmboy: Funny enough, no country is courageous enough to tell Hamas to end the war by releasing the hostages. This is clear indication that they are all hypocrites. Even if you were born in the night,I am sure its not last night. Even if Hamas releases the hostages, Netenyahu will not stop the genocide Thats why he bombed DOHA.....He doesnt want a signed ceasefire agreement.
The world is not as foolish |

NothingDoMe: Very good. Her country warned her to stop. Now they will beg israel for her release.
This has always been Hamas strategy, to push civilians in front of the War. Documents have revealed the Flotilla is sponsored by Hamas.
A normal thinking civilian should not be entering into a war zone with the aim of getting killed or arrested in order to stop a war.
She is clearly on terrorism starter pack. A genocide zone you mean. With a wanted war criminal Netenyahoo You are on a genocide starter pack. |

Israel had gone to Doha several times Why was it when it was time to sign the treaty, was when they realized Hamas hides in Doha ?You are running circles around yourself with the propaganda, its not even making sense anymore. Anytime Israel acts like a savage you blame it on Hamas, when they killed doctors and bombed hospitals, you said it was hiding Hamas, when they killed children you said , Hamas was using them as human shields, when the flotilla was coming with aids you said they were sponsored by Hamas.
Some of us have our God given brain and we are using it, and it works. Israel is committing a genocide to steal the land of Palestinians and kill all of them. |

Hamas we know won't accept that deal and we should also as why do those organizer of the flotilla don't want to use Israel port. Israel that allow truck to enter Gaza daily, those truck carry aids from UN, red Cross and other. Why does the flotilla want to do and deliver aids in Gaza themself which everyone is sure Hamas will hijack those aids for there use. Even the aid Israel allow to enter though rafar crossing still find way to most Hamas fighter hands A peace deal was to be signed in Doha....Till Israel bombed Doha. Dont try to lie.

President Gustavo Petro of Colombia deserves global recognition for his unwavering stance in defense of the oppressed and his choice to challenge the injustices faced by the Palestinian people.
In a world where powerful nations often act without consequence, Petro has chosen not to remain silent, but to raise Colombia’s voice against the disproportionate force and persistent marginalization inflicted on Palestine by Israel. His administration’s decision to expel Israeli diplomats in response to the Gaza flotilla incident is not just an act of protest, but a declaration that Colombia stands on the side of justice and human dignity.
By taking this bold step, President Petro shows the world that even nations with limited geopolitical power can have the courage to confront hegemony and defend principles of self-determination and respect for international law. His leadership is rooted in a lifelong pursuit of social justice, as demonstrated throughout his career,from his advocacy for the poor and marginalized in Bogotá to his steadfast support for peace and human rights in Colombia and beyond.
History will remember leaders who speak for the silenced and challenge the powerful when the rights of entire peoples are at stake. President Petro’s courageous decision is a call for others to reflect on their own moral positions and to consider whether neutrality in the face of injustice is truly tenable. In standing up against what he perceives as global bullying, he embodies the hope of millions for a world where justice is more than a word, but a standard by which nations are judged

Colombian President Gustavo Petro on Wednesday expelled all remaining Israeli diplomats in the country over Israel's interception of a Gaza-bound aid flotilla and reported detention of two Colombian activists.
Petro said two Colombian women, "who were engaged in human solidarity activities with Palestine," were detained by Israeli forces in international waters.
In a statement, his office said Manuela Bedoya and Luna Barreto were part of the Global Sumud Flotilla and called for their immediate release.
The Israeli foreign ministry confirmed that "several vessels" in the flotilla had been "safely stopped" and that the passengers were being brought to an Israeli port.
The leftist Petro severed relations with Israel last year but four diplomats remained posted in the country, a source at the Israeli consulate in Bogota told AFP.
Writing on X, Petro announced the expulsion of "the entire diplomatic delegation of Israel" over what he called "a new international crime" by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
He also terminated a free-trade deal in force with Israel since 2020.
Colombia's leader is one of Netanyahu's most vocal critics, calling him "genocidal," while also slamming US President Donald Trump as an "accomplice" to "genocide."
Last week, Petro attended a pro-Palestinian protest in New York, where he called on the US military to "disobey" Trump.
Washington revoked Petro's visa over his remarks. Source: https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/colombia-expels-israeli-diplomats-over-gaza-flotilla-intercept-101759379753567.html

unclejb2: Go through the right channels that area is a war zone International law must remain the compass. The directives of the ICC (International Criminal Court) and the United Nations are binding frameworks, not optional suggestions.
To describe the situation merely as a ‘war zone’ is reductive. What we are witnessing is an unfolding genocide, overseen by an individual, Netanyahu, who stands accused on the world stage as a perpetrator of international crimes. Under such conditions, the people of the region, and the broader international community, reserve the moral and legal right to challenge an illegal blockade and to render humanitarian aid directly to the Palestinian population. |

Israel intercepts humanitarian flotilla headed to Gaza, with forces boarding some boats At least 20 Israeli military vessels have boarded a pro-Palestinian flotilla roughly 75 miles off the coast of Gaza, as it attempted to breach the maritime blockade and bring humanitarian aid.
The Global Sumud Flotilla, consisting of more than 40 civilian boats carrying about 500 parliamentarians, lawyers and activists including the Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg and the actor Susan Sarandon, was heading towards Gaza bringing humanitarian aid despite repeated warnings from Israel to turn back.
“You are approaching a blockaded zone,” an Israeli Navy official announced to the flotilla. “If you wish to deliver aid to Gaza, you may do so through the established channels,” instructing the boats to change course.
The vessels were sailing in international waters north of Egypt on Wednesday afternoon and entered what has been described as a “danger zone” or “high risk zone”. While still in international waters, it is an area where the Israeli navy has stopped other boats attempting to break its blockade in the past.
About 7.25 pm, roughly 20 Israeli naval ships approached the flotilla and ordered the boats to turn off their engines, activists said on social media. Live footage from the flotilla showed passengers seated in a semi-circle, wearing lifejackets as they awaited interception. A number of camera live-feeds have gone offline.
Several of the activists onboard the boats released pre-recorded videos on their social media accounts, telling viewers that if they were watching the videos, it meant they had been captured by Israeli forces.
The interceptions were confirmed by the Israeli foreign ministry, which said: ‘‘The Israeli navy has reached out to the Gaza aid flotilla and asked them to change course toward Israeli port of Ashdod where aid can be unloaded and transferred to Gaza Strip.”
A journalist and activist on one of the flotilla’s boats, Greg J Stoker, said in a video posted to X that a number of other flotilla vessels were targeted with water cannons deployed by Israeli government forces.
In the video, Stoker says that there seems to be one ship going back and forth, between the flotilla boats and the port, that may be transferring those detained by the Israeli government.
Greta Thunberg arrested by Israeli forces Greta Thunberg, who was on the Alma in the flotilla, was arrested and taken into custody at the port of Ashdod.
Israeli military have now taken control of six vessels: Sirus, Alma, Spectra, Hoga, Adara, and Deir Yassin.
In a post on X, the Israeli foreign ministry posted a video of Thunberg’s arrest. Source: https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2025/oct/01/israel-gaza-aid-global-sumud-flotilla-middle-east-crisis-latest-updates?filterKeyEvents=false#filter-toggle-desktop

Your essay drips with the arrogance of someone mistaking cynicism for wisdom. You sneer at Senator Natasha for “confusing activism with legislation,” yet you forget that the most consequential lawmakers in history , from Cicero to Mandela’s parliamentary years , carried protest into power and rewrote the rules of their nations.
You mock her for highlighting boreholes, streetlights, and smart markets as if they are beneath the Senate. But tell me, what good is lofty law if the people you claim to represent can’t drink water, light their homes, or trade with dignity? Policy divorced from lived reality is not governance; it’s academic masturbation.
And your comparison with Sanusi is not only lazy but misapplied. Sanusi’s “TED Talk throne” rattled power structures, yes , but his ideas outlived his title. Natasha, whether you like her style or not, is reshaping how Nigerians perceive representation. That’s political capital, not irrelevance.
To accuse her of “content creation” is rich. What exactly is your commentary here, if not an attempt to go viral off her name? If legislators are invisible, you complain of redundancy. If they’re visible, you whine about theatrics. Pick a lane.
So here’s the truth: the Senate doesn’t need more silent seat-warmers in agbada nodding through bills they never read. It needs disruptors, even noisy ones , who remind the chamber that power is accountable to people, not just procedure. If that unsettles you, perhaps it is your comfort, not her activism, that is irrelevant. |

A group of Democratic senators is urging Secretary of State Marco Rubio to pressure Israel not to attack the Gaza aid flotilla after the activists aboard warned they were facing an imminent threat.
The letter was sent on Wednesday by Democratic Sens. Ed Markey (Mass.), Jeff Merkley (Ore.), Chris Van Hollen (Md.), and Elizabeth Warren (Mass.). The lawmakers stated that “the Global Sumud Flotilla is currently sailing across the Mediterranean Sea to bring vital humanitarian aid to Gaza, but has reportedly faced attacks by drones and other hostile actions.”
On Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning, the flotilla, which is carrying more than 550 civilian activists in over 50 vessels, was swarmed by drones and hit by flash-bang grenades.
The flotilla’s participants alleged that the attack came from Israel, which has portrayed the flotilla as a violent threat in recent days. Both Italy and Spain sent warships on Wednesday to assist and protect the convoy.
In a press release on Thursday, the activists aboard the flotilla said they’d received “credible intelligence” that “Israel is likely to escalate violent attacks on the flotilla within the next 48 hours.”
Also on Thursday, Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin, a spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), claimed without offering evidence that the flotilla was “planned and funded by Hamas, by Hamas representatives in Europe” and said the Navy was “ready to defend Israel’s borders at sea.”
The Global Sumud Flotilla set sail at the start of September with 250 tons of critical food and medical aid for the people of Gaza, who are suffering from mass starvation as a result of Israel’s near-total blockade of humanitarian aid entering the strip.
Last week, a commission of independent experts at the United Nations released an extensive report concluding that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. This has included its blockade of aid, which has resulted in the deaths of more than 400 people, including at least 145 children, with many dying in recent months.
At least 65,419 Palestinians have also been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 2023, and at least 167,160 have been wounded.
The lawmakers told Rubio that “US citizens, including residents of Maryland, Massachusetts, and Oregon” are aboard the flotilla’s ships, adding that “under international humanitarian law and international human rights law, they warrant protection.”
Participants in the flotilla include humanitarians, doctors, journalists, lawyers, and other activists from at least 44 countries worldwide. According to the antiwar activist group CodePink, 22 of the more than 550 people taking part in the flotilla are US citizens.
One of the vessels, Ohwayla, which took damage from a flash-bang grenade in Tuesday’s drone attack, is primarily comprised of US veterans. Phil Tottenham, a member of Veterans for Peace and one of the passengers on Ohwayla, told Mondoweiss that despite the threats, “everyone with this flotilla is undeterred in our commitment.”

“You have a critical role to play in ensuring that US foreign policy protects our citizens and promotes international law and humanitarian relief,” the lawmakers told Rubio. “We urge you to demand that the Netanyahu government refrains from any use of force against peaceful civilian vessels and ensures that humanitarian aid is surged into Gaza so that the desperate conditions that continue to prompt these flotillas no longer persist.” Source: https://www.commondreams.org/news/senators-call-rubio-to-protect-flotilla

So Tinubu’s Nigeria is now so broken that the young generation is pushed into prostitution just to survive, and instead of shame or solutions, his so-called “tax czar” Oyedele has the audacity to announce that FIRS wants a cut from the very rot their failed governance created. Imagine the tone-deafness: the economy is in shambles, jobs are gone, inflation is suffocating everyone, and instead of building opportunities, they’re scheming how to tax runs girls. What kind of wicked joke is this? A government that can’t provide dignity has no moral right to demand revenue from desperation.
Mr. Oyedele’s comments are disgusting, insulting, and beneath the office he occupies. If this administration had any sense of shame left, he would be fired immediately ,not tomorrow, not next week, but today. Nigerians don’t need a heartless tax collector normalizing suffering, they need leaders with conscience. But then again, maybe conscience is the one commodity this government will never be able to tax, because they clearly don’t have it. |
