Another load of flotilla's are about to set sail for Gaza, not that people will know because Western media doesn't want people to know
Has everyone seen the video of Ken O'Keefe, the former U.S. Marine turned activist? He was on the Mavi Marmara Flotilla in 2010 that attempted to break yet another israeli blockade back then. Israeli commandos boarded the ship and as usual murdered a load of civilians (10 turkish activists in this instance, many shot at close range multiple times in execution style killings).
This is Ken O'Keefes account after the israeli's zip tied and beat him. The activists including Ken actually overthrew the commandos. It's only 3 minutes long but is an astonishing watch. Some main quotes:
"I saw 5 of the martys, one with a bullet right in his head. I was involved in disarming 2 of the israeli commandos."
"They (the commandos) were surrounded by 100 maybe 200 of us. And they looked at us and they thought we would do to them what they did to us. They thought they were going to die, but of course we let them go"
He has tweeted (follow him) and asked if he can be part of another crew to Gaza

A UN report on the Mavi Marmara is here -
UN Human Rights. It's quite long so I got AI to summarize:
"On 27 September 2010, the Human Rights Council heard the Fact-Finding Mission’s report on Israel’s interception of the Gaza flotilla. Chair Justice Karl Hudson-Phillips said passengers carried no offensive weapons; Israeli forces used live fire aboard the Mavi Marmara, killing nine and wounding many, with six alleged summary executions and abusive treatment during detention—amounting to serious violations of international humanitarian and human rights law.
Israel, speaking as a concerned country, argued the Council was biased, cited its domestic inquiry and participation in the UN Secretary-General’s panel, and declined to engage with the Council’s probe. Palestine and Turkey condemned the raid as unlawful, demanded accountability, compensation, and an apology.
In the general debate, many states and NGOs criticized ongoing violations in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and Syrian Golan, urged lifting the Gaza blockade, halting settlements, and backed peace talks toward a two-State solution. The Council scheduled further dialogue for 28 September."
