Europe is angry.
It was already late at night, in Athens, Greece, Berlin, Germany, Paris, France, Barcelona, Spain, and Brussels, Belgium; Especially in Italy, from Naples to Milan, from Rome to Florence, from Genoa to Perugia, people took to the streets to protest against Israel"Global Firm" Gaza aid flotilla attacks.
October 1st, a sleepless night in Europe.
I see the two major Italian unions calling on all Italians to protest the illegal actions of Israel.
The call reads:“From now on, we call on every worker, every citizen, every democracy and solidarity organization to block everything: production, logistics, transportation, schools, services, to protest the war crimes committed by Israel and the conspiracies of Western governments including Italy, and to continue to provide arms and political support to the Zionist regime.Defending the 'Global Resolute' fleet is defending freedom, peace, the dignity of labor and the dignity of the people!”
October 1st is Wednesday, which is still a working day. According to the recommendation of the Italian Trade Union Confederation, a national general strike will be held on Friday, October 3.
This will not be limited to Italy, but will spread throughout Europe.
It is likely to be the largest protest in Israeli history in Europe.
Europeans have no reason to be angry.
The “Global Solid” fleet, which has just departed from Barcelona, Spain, has a total of about 50 civilian ships, with about 500 international volunteers from more than 40 countries on board.
These various fishing boats and yachts carry a large amount of food, medicine, medical equipment and other emergency supplies, hoping to break through Israel's naval blockade and deliver them to the suffering people of Gaza.
Many European celebrities were on board, including the famous Swedish “environmental girl” Tomb Raider.
I know, forThunberg, many friends look down on it, thinking that this is a typical example promoted by the West. I won't comment on her past, but it's still impressive that she can go to Gaza this time.
It must be noted that the United States has remained silent and Europe has done nothing about Israel's massacres, but at least some people have bravely taken action to break through the Israeli blockade and go to Gaza in person.
Very rare, very rare.
The brilliance of human nature often appears particularly bright under the darkest night sky.
Regardless of their past, their current actions are respectful.
But what they faced was an Israeli army armed to the teeth, which was destined to be difficult.
Tumberi told Reuters that drones were flying over the fleet every night, they heard the explosions, and unknown objects were thrown on the ship.
She said:"The core of this operation is for Gaza, not ourselves. No matter what risks we may face, they are far less than the risks the Palestinian people face every day."
"International waters feel like battlefields." Akar, another international volunteer, told NBC,"Bombs fell one after another, but no one came to rescue them."
As I said earlier, Europe is angry. In fact, to be more precise, Europeans are angry.
Some European countries are even more ridiculous.
At least two ridiculous details.
The first one is ridiculous, Italy's arrogance and deference.
At one point, Italy said thatSend warships to provide protection to the fleet. But on September 30, Italy gave up and made it clear thatWhen the rescue fleet entered 150 nautical miles (about 278 kilometers) off the coast of Gaza, Italian warships withdrew...
Simply enough, Italy does not want to enter into conflict with Israel.
It should also be noted that when Britain, France, Belgium and others recognized the Palestinian state, Italy was always reluctant to recognize it.
Regarding Italy's behavior, the "Global Firm" fleet criticized it, saying that "the Italian government succumbed to Israel's arrogance and lawlessness".
This is also an important reason why Italians are particularly angry.
The second ridiculous thing is Israel's smear and demonization.
For the “global solid” fleet, Israel claims,Related materials were found in Gaza, confirming that “Hamas was directly involved” in the formation of the fleet.
500 maritime protesters, from more than 40 countries around the world, are angry at the killing in Gaza and angry at the indifference of Western nations.
Is it possible for Hamas to mobilize?
When violence tries to stifle the cry, it often only arouses louder cry on the echo wall of history.
It has to be said that Israel's latest intelligence tests the IQ of the world.
But Israel's ruthless tactics are beyond doubt.
On the night of October 1, the Israeli Navy intercepted these convoys, and we can hear the roar of "hands up" in the video.
It was later that several ships had been seized by the Israeli army.Many people, including Tumberi, were arrested by the Israeli army.
The news went back to Europe, the Europeans were completely angry, even late at night, with many raising Palestinian flags and crying out on the streets; in Italy, the anger was even more burning in the hearts of the people, some took over the railways...
Finally what do you think?
Let's make three superficial points.
First of all, there is nothing but respect for these brave people.
As stated above, they all have a better life, they know that there is a great danger, but they are still unconsciously headed to Gaza.
Remember, in 2010, in international waters outside the Gaza Strip, an Israeli aid fleet was attacked and 10 people were killed.
But the brave people left because they couldn’t see it.In Gaza, 65,000 people have been killed, most of them women and children.
Many people in Gaza cannot survive the next day.
Courage is not fearlessness, but choosing to move forward in the face of fear.
There is one country, Spain.
Compared with Italy's last-minute cowardice, Spain is still persevering.
Spain also recently ordered a ban on U.S. forces from using two Spanish military bases to deliver weapons to Israel.
In European countries, some countries are used to perform, but individual countries, there is always strong is not.
Second, Israel’s hegemony is becoming increasingly dangerous.
Israel is definitely not afraid of the rescue fleet. It will stop those that should be stopped and kill those that should be killed.
But why the rescue fleet, knowing the danger, knowing the danger, cannot reach Gaza, but still have to go.
They just want to expose Israel’s brutality and hegemony to the world.
Israel could seize these ships and arrest these volunteers, but it sparked the world’s anger.
I saw that Colombia President Petro immediately took action, condemning the interception as an "international crime" committed by Netanyahu. He demanded that all Israeli diplomats stationed in Colombia "leave immediately."
What I said before,No isWith the moral support of the whole world, the state of Israel cannot be established; the morality is lost, can Israel still exist?
The third is Europe, Europe, poor Europe.
It must be said that today's Palestinian-Israeli issue is intertwined, but its source is the West, especially Europe.
It was the culpability of the West for the Nazi Holocaust that eventually contributed to the establishment of a state of Israel, but this again broke the balance in the Middle East, triggering a series of wars in the Middle East, and the current distress in Gaza.
Israel is bloodshot, the United States is still biased, and the Europeans are angry.
You see, on October 3, Italy will definitely be paralyzed across the country. If Meloni's government cannot comply with public opinion, it cannot be ruled out that she may also be ousted.
This world, there is no contrast, no more harm.
In China, during the National Day Golden Week, everyone is busy playing. The autumn is crisp and peaceful.
But look at the world, the killing in Gaza continues.On that day, at least 60 people were killed and two more starved; in Europe, especially Italy, people protested in anger, waiting for another dawn of anger.
Peace is not the normal state of the world, but a precious gift that is carefully guarded.
Oh well,We really don't live in a peaceful world, we are just lucky enough to live in a peaceful China.
