Breaking Israel’s illegal siege on Gaza is the most important and urgent act that needs to be undertaken today

"Breaking israel's siege of Gaza is the most important thing the world has to do at the moment. There's an entity that we call "israel" that is starving an entire population, killing Palestinians on a daily basis. Sending food aid in through like cattle areas and executing these people. And they're also stopping baby formula going in to Gaza. They haven't just started with the siege, the siege has been going for decades. After October 7th, when a lot of people started to realize what was going on and started to read a little bit, the Israelis decided to turn everything off. Now, if you don't have that power, then you are not an occupying power, you can't turn everything off. And that's exactly what they've done.

My message to the world is that we can all make a difference. We can all do something. Making a decision to do nothing is a decision. But, it's irresponsible. What did you do when Israel was killing and ethnically cleansing the Palestinians? You can't scroll through your phones today and not see women, children, men, being executed by American made weaponry. F-35s, helicopters, tanks! You need to stand up. So, when we look back you can say you did something.

I have a message to the Palestinians. It's the Palestinians worldwide, especially the ones in the occupied West Bank and Gaza today. Because I know the world has forgotten you. The rhetoric and the language, that the mainstream media has used has been wrong. They've labeled you guys terrorists, and we know that you're resisting an occupation. We'll never tell you how to do that. We are not going to stop. This may be one boat, but the world has woken up. Things are changing and I cannot wait for the day that there is a free Palestine."
