URGENT: While you're listening to this, 500 people are being held in Israeli custody for trying to deliver food to Gaza.
Last night (October 1, 2025), the Global Sumud Flotilla—the largest humanitarian convoy in history—was attacked by Israeli forces in international waters. Greta Thunberg, elected officials from Spain and Italy, Nelson Mandela's grandson, and hundreds of activists were detained at gunpoint for trying to break the blockade and feed starving children.
Countries issued statements. Protests erupted worldwide. But nobody—NOBODY—is actually sending forces to get them back.
This episode breaks down:
- What happened in the attack (with real-time updates)
- Why Italy and Spain withdrew their protection at the critical moment
- How international "responses" are all words, no action
- Why both Democrats and Republicans are complicit
- What you can actually do RIGHT NOW to help
This isn't history. This is happening as you listen. 500 people are detained. Children are starving in Gaza. And the world is scrolling past.
Your apathy is their victory. Your silence is their kidnapping.
