"Abukeshek recounted one of the Israelis who interrogated him saying that the solidarity flotilla “is more dangerous” than those who are “throwing bombs” at Israel.
“They consider this more dangerous because we tell people about what’s happening, we create awareness,” Abukeshek said. “People start asking questions, why civilians are sailing through the Mediterranean to reach Gaza. Why there is no humanitarian aid entering Gaza and asking these questions make it complicated for them. Because they cannot justify it.”
The Trump administration’s sanctioning of flotilla organizers is only the latest in its pattern of imposing sanctions on human rights lawyers, activists, and organizations working to end the genocide in Gaza. Others sanctioned by the U.S. have spoken of the debilitating effects of the sanctions, even outside of the U.S. Judges of the International Criminal Court, for example, have said that Trump’s sanctions left them “wiped out economically and socially.”
