U.S. military veteran Greg Stoker joins Dispatches from the ship deck of the Global Sumud Flotilla, comprised of dozens of boats that just launched from Barcelona with the goal of breaking Israel’s starvation siege on Gaza.

Stoker, who served in the U.S. Army, explains why he chose to risk his life by joining the flotilla, how his military experience radicalized him on Palestine, and what it means for veterans to stand against U.S. empire.

He responds to Israeli threats against the flotilla, reflects on the genocide in Gaza, and connects imperialism abroad to the suppression of dissent and exploitation at home in the U.S.
