Disaster for the hypocrites: Anti-Israel flotilla bobs around in port instead of “liberating Gaza”.
For days, the ships of the self-proclaimed “Global Sumud Flotilla” have been stuck in port, while their activists try to turn the harbor basin into a stage for anti-Israel propaganda. What was announced as a spectacular action is turning out to be a grotesque spectacle with no effect other than to spread lies.

They had spoken of a “historic departure,” of a “mission of humanity” that was supposed to reach the “besieged Gaza Strip.” In reality, however, the boats of the so-called “Global Sumud Flotilla” have been lying idle in Tunisian ports for over a week. At times it was said that the weather was too stormy, at other times the ships were allegedly unseaworthy, and then activists spoke of drone attacks for which they could provide no evidence. The truth has long been clear: the whole thing is less an aid mission than a political stunt designed to make anti-Israeli slogans louder than any ship's siren.
The scene in Tunis and Bizerte now resembles an absurd street theater: boats that are barely seaworthy, activists hoisting their smartphones instead of sails, and the constant repetition of the same accusations against Israel. Meanwhile, people in Gaza are dying not from an alleged “blockade famine,” but from Hamas' decision to abuse civilians as human shields and systematically confiscate aid. But this reality interferes with the flotilla's script.
The real goal of this “Global Sumud” campaign is not at sea, but in the headlines. Even in Barcelona, where the ships set sail in early September, the organizers were not seeking confrontation with reality, but with the cameras. Every delay, every alleged mishap, every exaggeration is used to portray themselves as courageous fighters for “human rights” – when in reality, they are doing nothing more than waging a campaign to delegitimize Israel.
The name “Sumud”, Arabic for “steadfastness”, sounds heroic, but in this context it is mere rhetoric. In fact, weeks of loitering in ports prove one thing above all: political steadfastness in distorting the facts. For those who denounce Israel as a “genocidal regime” while concealing the role of Hamas are not working for human rights, but for a one-sided, anti-Semitic agenda.
Particularly grotesque is the activists' attempt to reinterpret their own disaster as propaganda. The fact that two boats are not allowed to continue sailing due to technical defects is declared to be the “result of enemy attacks.” The fact that they are rowing back to Bizerte, of all places, even though the weather there is the same as in Tunis, is sold as a “strategic decision.” Anyone who argues in this way exposes themselves: it is not about achieving something, but about making a statement.
And while a second group of sailboats is gathering in Sicily, supposedly to head for Gaza, it has long been clear that even if these boats do eventually set sail, they will not deliver what they claim to be delivering: humanitarian aid. They deliver headlines, images, and slogans. A spectacle staged at the expense of the truth.
Meanwhile, Israel is sticking to its clear line: aid deliveries will only reach the Gaza Strip via coordinated corridors, not via media stunts on the high seas. This is the only way to prevent aid supplies from ending up directly in the hands of Hamas. Anyone who wants to undermine this principle is consciously making themselves a tool of the terrorist organization.
In the end, the Global Sumud Flotilla is one thing above all else: a symbol of hypocrisy. While they portray themselves as saviors of the Palestinians, the activists are in fact accomplices in the service of a murderous ideology. Instead of liberating Gaza, they are shackling the truth. And the longer their ships bob around in the harbor, the clearer it becomes that this flotilla is not on course, it has long since been shipwrecked.
