An estimated Twenty-seven ships to set sail for Gaza from multiple ports to break Israel’s siege on the enclave.
This will be activist Greta Thunberg’s second mission, having been taken captive by Israel earlier this year when her ship and fellow crew members were sprayed with illicit chemicals and boarded unlawfully in international waters. The Handala and her crew also suffered a similar fate earlier this summer.

While you make some good points, have you heard the expression ”talk is cheap”? There’s no lack of talk.
There certainly is a lack of talk. The bulk of Trump supporters only get ‘news’ from a curated rightwing media source. They do not know about the situation in Gaza or the U.S. support for it. They do not know that Trump is threatening Canada’s sovereignty. They are not all inherently evil for supporting the right wing, they are ignorant of reality. Communication and education is key. And we can’t beat the billionaires unless we find a way to allow truthful communication to actually happen.
The billionaires are probably pretty content with people trying to figure out ”truthful communication” while the people who stormed the Capitol keep winning.
Of course actions speak louder than words, but very few people know how to act in the interest of the common good effectively - I’d argue even fewer know how to share their methods and drive, while also being capable of reaching and inspiring others to find their own answers.
We need to have conversations about effective action organically, many times over, instead of being led like the donkey in the carrot and the stick metaphor when it comes to facing and solving the problems we face as a society, species, and world.
