Brisbane Blacks Aboriginal activist reportedly kidnapped by Israeli forces
Wangerriburrah and Birri Gubba filmmaker and activist Sam Woripa Watson is among 11 Australians reportedly detained after Israeli forces intercepted a humanitarian flotilla in international waters.
According to Black Witness, Israeli forces intercepted the 38-boat Global Sumud Flotilla west of Cyprus on Monday morning Turkey time, about 400 kilometres from Gaza.
The flotilla was carrying international activists and aid intended for Gaza, with 10 boats still reportedly en route.
There has been no confirmation regarding the safety of those detained or where they have been taken.
Mr Watson comes from a Brisbane Blacks legacy in Magandjin, where activists have long stood in solidarity with Palestine and other Indigenous peoples.

Sometimes I mourn the forests we never got to see
There are old photographs of men standing on sequoia stumps, smiling like they’d accomplished something.
That was the story of America, really. See a thing older than God, cut it down, call it progress.
Sometimes I think the loss was not only the trees, but the people we might have been if we had understood that not everything was meant to be owned.

Image 4 was unintentionally AI-generated. After reading the comments, I agree it does not belong with the original photographs. I apologize for missing this earlier. Unfortunately, I’m unable to remove the image from the post, but I appreciate everyone who pointed it out!!

These were activists attempting to break a blockade and deliver aid to starving civilians in Gaza Strip. They were not armed. They were not a threat. Yet they were treated with force and intimidation for trying to show humanity.

Australia gave 0 points to Israel (Eurovision). Can't wait to see this come up during the Antisemitism Royal Commission as testimony that Australia is antisemitic because they didn't vote for Israel.
