Just confirmed by the Brazilian embassy, and previous confirmed by the Spanish embassy that Thiago and Saif have been tortured - probably still being tortured - inside the Israeli vessel that kidnapped the activists in this current Flotilla. All this happening in Greek territorial waters while the Greek government does not and actually hold some of the activists in some kind of jail.
We need to free the world from zionism and US imperialism.
Thank you for your courage and documentation of all the crimes and inhumane acts Israel and Israelis continue to commit in their depraved pursuit to build out their racist, fascist ethno state through genocide, ethnic cleansing, occupation and apartheid. As an American, I am so angry and embarrassed that my government and my representatives have supported and continue to support this psychotic, evil country. Enough already! Boycott, Divest & Sanction!
I couldn't finish it either. The brutality is so egregious and inhumane. The people in the US and Germany who are funding Israel should be FORCED to read all of it, every last word!
agreed!! As a Mom, Granny, and human being, I am just so damn disturbed. When I was a kid, I really believed that people were good and life was as it was explained to me by my loving parents. I still see the goodness, but there is an evil that is covering the world with darkness and hate. I keep trying to fight it, but it is like smoke...insidious, nebulous and oh so deadly to us all.
If one wished to sum up Jewish morality in one concise phrase, it would read as follows: “All is moral which brings advantage.” The Jew is incapable of applying a higher standard to the values in life than that of advantage or profit.

… the Jew is meditating everywhere on confusion and exhaustion, on ruin and dismemberment. He seeks his advantage in the injuries of others, his advancement in the oppression of his fellow men, who do not happen to be Jews.
There are many anti-zionist Jews, and many Jewish activists who risk their lives struggling for the rights of Palestinians. What you wrote is racist and despicable. Don't conflate "Jew" and "zionist". They are not the same.

"*Adalah: Abducted Flotilla Activists Subjected to Violence and Unlawful Interrogation in Israeli Custody*
*2 May 2026*
Adalah lawyers have just concluded a visit to Shikma Prison, where they met with Global Sumud Flotilla activists Thiago de Avila and Saif Abukeshek for the first time since their abduction by the Israeli navy in the early morning on Thursday, 30 April in international waters near Crete. The harrowing testimonies provided by both activists reveal physical violence and being held for prolonged periods in stress positions by Israeli military forces during the past two days they have spent at sea. Both activists arrived this morning at the Shikma detention center in Ashkelon after more than two days in naval custody.
Thiago de Avila reported being subjected to extreme brutality by the Israeli military during the seizure of the vessels. He was dragged face-down across the floor and beaten so severely that he passed out twice. He currently has visible bruises on his face, including around his left eye, and he reports restricted movement and intense pain in his hand. From the moment he was taken by the Israeli military until his transfer to the Israel Prison Service more than two days later, he was kept in isolation and blindfolded. He is now being held in a windowless cell. Thiago reported being interrogated by the Shabak intelligence agency (ISA) and stated that he was told he would later be interrogated by the Mossad on suspicions of “affiliation with a terrorist organization.” Although Adalah’s lawyers demanded information on the accusations, the Israeli authorities have refused to provide it.
Saif Abukeshek reported being kept hand-tied and blindfolded, and being forced to lie face-down on the floor from the moment of his seizure until this morning, resulting in bruising to his face and hands. After arriving at the Shikma detention center, he reported being told he is under interrogation by the Shabak on suspicions of “affiliation with a terrorist organization”.
Both Thiago and Saif have declared a hunger strike, though they are continuing to drink water.
The two activists are scheduled to be brought to the Ashkelon Magistrates’ Court tomorrow, Sunday, 3 May 2026, at 9:30 AM for a hearing to extend their detention. Adalah maintains that the treatment of the two activists, including the use of isolation, prolonged blindfolding, and physical beatings, constitutes a grave violation of international law. Adalah further argues that any interrogation of the activists is unlawful and that they must be released immediately."
The ZIONIST ISRAELIS ARE MONSTERS!! The way you deal with monsters is you EXPOSE THEM FOR WHO THEY REALLY ARE, not the nice looking SATANYAHU in everyday clothes! HE IS THE MONSTER BEAST OF “ALIEN” WITH JAWS DRIPPING WITH THE BLOOD OF THOUSANDS OF PALESTINIANS AND LEBANESE ON HIS HEAD!! MAY HE BE DAMNED TO HELL FOR ETERNITY.😡
Right. Spanish Prime minister and Brazilian president had great speeches, but what are they going to do? they should start by ending all relations with "Israel" and expel every single zionist, ban them forever, until there is no zionism. And I feel sorry for the Jews who are not zionists because they are also victims of the terrorism "Israel" promotes
Thank you for sharing this. I know it's less than what happens to Palestinians, but it's still pretty bad, and I think it's useful to know what they do even to westerners.
I am in awe and horror at how the Flotilla peacemakers were treated. I am in awe at the bravery and courage of everyone aboard every boat. I love Palestine, but I could not voluntarily put myself in harms way like you did. Thank you for documenting it. May your words hasten the demise of this regime, these regimes, and bring freedom to Palestine.
This was powerful and reminded me that I too had normalized the on going genocide of Gaza. It is hard to emotionally be moved from one horrific thing to another and to resist it all. I feel helpless....
There seems to have been close to an MSN media blackout of the news of this flotilla at least in Australia. hardly any mention after letting us know some flotilla boats had been captured. Govts too scared & ashamed to tell us they do nothing to protect either their own territorial waters or the right to sail on international waters - at least when Israel is the offending party?

Where is CNN..NBC..CBS..ABC.? All the so called in depth reporting of the MSN stinks.
Thank you Drop Site for this really hard to take but necessary news.
If you change the name Israel to Nazi Germany, you can imagine it clearly. They have become the monster they escaped.
Thank you for your courage and documentation of all the crimes and inhumane acts Israel and Israelis continue to commit in their depraved pursuit to build out their racist, fascist ethno state through genocide, ethnic cleansing, occupation and apartheid.

I couldn't even finish reading this, as my anger was raging. If there is a devil, he lives in Tel Aviv.
I couldn't finish it either. The brutality is so egregious and inhumane. The people in the US and Germany who are funding Israel should be FORCED to read all of it, every last word!

Yes, he lives in Tel Aviv … and he has a very large family.

But, you know, anything bad you want to say about zionists, I'm good with that.
Thank you for your courageous reporting!!

How bad brutal unspeakable do things have to be for an effective stop to Netanyahu and his pal Trump and the "Israel right or wrong" people?

thank you for the chance to read the grim details. oh my god. And this was last fall.
I keep thinking of South Africa... and how long it took...I will go back now and hit the phones,

Your courage and humanity are known world wide.
Israel has lost its humanity and is being isolated as a terrorist genocidal entity. I wont say state because the land doesn't belong to this entity.
Your abduction and abuses are unlawful and I am so sorry for you pain.
