Freedom Flotilla ship attacked by apparent Israeli drones in international waters
Drone attacks resulted in a large fire on the ship, which was extinguished
The Freedom Flotilla ship, Conscience, has been attacked twice by an apparent Israeli drone in international waters near Malta. None of the 18 crew and international humanitarian volunteers on board has been injured, and a fire has been extinguished, but the vessel is without power and has called for urgent emergency assistance. No Kiwis were in board the ship. Although Kia Ora Gaza is a member of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, we haven’t participated in this current mission. The Maltese authorities have offered to assist with repairs to the ship. The FFC is calling on supporters to demand their governments condemn this flagrant act of violent piracy on an unarmed civilian ship carrying humanitarian aid in international waters.
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition ship, the Conscience shown recently in dock.
PSNA issued a media release in response to the Israeli attack:
Israel’s drone attack on the Freedom Flotilla boat ‘Conscience’ shows Israel’s genocide strategy has now gone global, according to PSNA.
The Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa says the attack in international waters is a thoroughly predictable war crime, committed by an out-of-control Israel, intent on violence anywhere to uphold its starvation strategy for Gaza.
The ‘Conscience’ was loaded with life-saving humanitarian aid for Gaza and was attacked and disabled off the coast of Malta.
“It’s another war crime to add to Israel’s blood-soaked reputation” says PSNA Co-National Chair John Minto. “This is a cowardly attack on the best of humanity trying to get aid to more than two million desperate and starving people.”
“Israel has blocked all aid for more than two months in an attempt to starve them to death.”
“This brazen attack in international waters shows how emboldened Israel has become by the silence of Western governments such as New Zealand.”
Minto is pointing to the UN Panel of Inquiry in 2011 on a similar Israeli attack on the Turkish aid vessel the Mavi Marmara the year before. It was chaired by former New Zealand Prime Minster Sir Geoffrey Palmer.
Palmer found that Israel used ‘excessive and unreasonable force’ in boarding the vessel and killing ten people on board.
“But Palmer also said that Israel had conducted a ‘legitimate security measure’. I wonder how Geoffrey Palmer feels about legitimising that action now,” Minto says.
“Palestinian Solidarity Network Aotearoa is calling on the New Zealand government to condemn the aggression on what is an unarmed, civilian vessel in international waters.”
“When Ansar Allah (Houthis) in Yemen did this to Israeli vessels to try to stop the genocide in Gaza, New Zealand involved itself by sending military support to western countries to bomb Yemen.”
“We are not calling on the government to send military support for the bombing of Israel. However, if New Zealand really believes in the freedom of passage of unarmed vessels in international waters, it must condemn Israeli outright for this cowardly attack on the ‘Conscience’.”
Minto says to maintain any credibility the government is also overdue and obligated to end its months long silence over other Israeli actions.
“Top of the list is Israel’s war crime use of starvation in Gaza as a weapon of war. But the government must also condemn the Israeli army ethnic cleansing and assisting settler attacks in Occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank.”
“Israel is building new illegal settlements there at an unprecedented rate.”
“Israel has also just conducted unprovoked major military assaults on Syria. Our Foreign Minister must surely know about these things, and we are at a loss to know why he says and does nothing.”

This Sunday May 11th is World Kuffiyeh Day
You can order Palestinian-made kuffiyehs through Preserved Identity in Auckland
https://preservedidentity.com/
https://preservedidentity.com/product-category/kufiyas-shawls/
Preserved Identity supports Palestinian refugees in Jordan who have a kufiya factory. For most of the kufiyas produced by them, they hand stitch the tassels on to finish the kufiya to a high standard.
The factory that produces our kufiyas was established in the 1950’s in Jericho, Palestine. After the 1967 war, the owners were displaced and sought refuge in Amman, Jordan where they relocated the factory and continued to produce a wide variety of kufiyas and textiles.
A standard kufiya is $35
I am a child of Gaza – Kareem Abdulaal
Kareem Abdulaal speaking at Christchurch’s Bridge of Remembrance on 3 May
Here is Kareem’s letter:
As a Palestinian child I am devastated with the starvation and genocide in Gaza, I have prepared a small letter to share with you all about how a Palestinian child would feel in Gaza.
I am a child of Gaza, like other children of Palestine, searching for my identity and reclaiming my right through steadfastness and resistance.
I am that same child who proudly resisted when I raised the flag of Palestine in the face of settlers and Israeli soldiers, rejecting oppression and clinging to the land. I am also the child of the Intifada who struggled side by side with the boys, youth, and men, terrifying Israeli soldiers hiding behind their tanks with defiance and pride. I defeated them with stones and showed the whole world the difference between the Palestinian and the occupier.
I am a child of Gaza
After every barbaric war and brutal aggression, my image has become an icon of blood. I have become a symbol immortalizing the tragedy of Palestinians and documenting their genocide.
I am a child of Gaza.
Israel descends upon my fragile body like venomous spiders, unloading its killing machine into my flesh, driven by the rage of defeat and fear of the collapse of the Zionist dream.
I am a child of Gaza.
I carried my schoolbag on my back, not with books in it, but with what remained of my brother’s limbs.
I am the little girl, Hya, who wrote her will alongside small drawings, hearts, toys, and shoes.
I am the Palestinian child from Gaza.
I am no longer just a number in death records as Israel counted me to be.
The peoples of the world have awakened from their slumber after 76 years of occupation.
They now know my name,
share my image,
memorize my face and eye color,
and tell the story of my killing in all languages.
They pray, scream, and weep for me, exposing the ugliness and true face of Israel.
The peoples who are outraged by my slaughter, who detest racism, were once silent and unaware.
Unaware that there is still something on this earth worth defending,
a right and a freedom to fight for.
I am a child of Gaza.
I now depart in peace to the sky,
And from above I look down on the land of dignity,
watching how from beneath the rubble,
from the limbs of brothers,
the remains of fathers and mothers, and the blood of infants,
The hope that Palestinians have a right of return,
Right of land, and of promise.
And now the world is awaiting for the decision based on justice and humanity.
Kareem Abdulaal
Palestine exhibition in Auckland
Yousef Aljamal – national tour postponed to June
It’s very disappointing to have to pass on the news that Yousef Aljamal’s national tour has had to be postponed by about six weeks. Yousef has had problems getting his passport returned to him from a foreign embassy in time for his visa application for New Zealand to be processed. We were hoping up to the last minute that this could be resolved but unfortunately it wasn’t possible. He is as disappointed as we are at this delay in him coming.
Thanks for your patience with this. We are looking forward to a very successful tour later next month.

Quotes for this week
“Israel has threatened us and attacked us many times before, in 2010, killing 10 of our volunteers. It is also the primary entity interested in keep us and any aid out of Gaza,”
—Huwaida Arraf; Palestinian Rights Activist & Lawyer, Member of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition
“We are pro-peace and anti-war...To my people in Palestine: I feel your pain, I see your suffering; and I see freedom - and it is very soon”
– US pro-Palestine Columbia Uni student Mohsen Mahdawi thanks supporters outside the courtroom after released from ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) by Federal Judge.
"There is no cooking gas and we can only cook over a fire, but firewood is too expensive for us, so we rely solely on prepared meals distributed by soup kitchens and some canned food. Without the soup kitchens, we would have died of hunger by now. We stand in long lines for food and come home with a plate of stew. Sometimes my children stand in line; sometimes I do. A kilo of flour costs 50 shekels (~ USD 14) and when I can, I buy and bake bread, but it runs out quickly. We have been truly starving for 53 days now.” …
--Anwar Hamad; Mother, Resident of Gaza

The Doctor’s Wife – how to organize a local screening
Among the many excellent documentaries which are being screened by the Palestine solidarity movement around New Zealand is an absolute gem of a film by local filmmaker Paula Jones and associate director Tamara Azizian.
The film is “The Doctor’s Wife” and follows the decades long work of Dr Alan Kerr, a surgeon from New Zealand, and his wife Hazel in the hospitals of Palestine.
We would encourage everyone around the country to organise local screenings of the film – even with family and friends in your living room – and raise funds for the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF)
All details of organising a local film screening are on the website here: https://whitioraproductions.com/the-doctors-wife

Keep spreading the message about the Genocide Hotline!
Remember possible action for local groups
For groups affiliated to PSNA we suggest the following actions could be taken at any time in support of this campaign
Asking your local backpacker accommodation to display the poster and draw it to the attention of any Israeli soldiers here on “rest and recreation” from the genocide.
Pasting the hotline poster (use the version in this newsletter which includes a contact email) around the vicinity of backpacker venues in your local area. This is already happening in some areas.
Hand out flyers to people in the vicinity of your local backpackers
Contact us on the hotline if you come across Israeli soldiers

Are you able to donate a cup of coffee a month to the campaign?
We will need some serious money to make our campaign as effective as possible. For example, we will need somewhere in the vicinity of $25,000 to bring speakers to New Zealand over the next year and organise large public meetings to help spread the message.
You can help. Are you able to donate a cup of coffee a month to the campaign? In other words, can you afford to make an automatic payment of $5 per month to support the Palestinian struggle? (If you can afford more that would be great!)

However, daily news and statistics regarding the violence Palestinians are forced to live under are regularly reported on in the “In Occupied Palestine daily newsletter”, sourced and compiled for easy reading and correlation chiefly from the Palestinian Monitoring Group's daily situation reports.
The In Occupied Palestine daily newsletter continues to be circulated, by email, worldwide to subscribers only, as it has been over the last two decades.
