'A beacon to illuminate Gaza' - Flotilla detainee, supporters in Milan protest Israeli 'attack' - video Dailymotion

Capital FM Kenya

Hundreds of demonstrators marched through central Milan on Wednesday, waving Palestinian flags and protesting Israel’s raid on the Gaza Sumud Flotilla - a convoy carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza that was intercepted, with all vessels seized and about 450 activists detained.  Footage shows flotilla supporters waving Palestinian flags, lighting flares, and marching through traffic before police cordoned off the area and patrolled the rally.  “We are here especially for Gaza, where genocide continues despite the chatter about a peace that is not coming,” said former detained activist Paolo Romano, a regional councillor from Lombardy.  “We call for the release of the activists who were illegally detained [...] in international waters, and who should not be subjected to the inhumane treatment that we were subjected to,” Romano continued.  Romano described the mistreatment faced by flotilla participants while in custody, saying, “We are collecting everything that has happened to us: from beatings to water deprivation, sleep deprivation, insults, humiliation, to dogs being set off to scare us. We will report everything.”  "The harassment we suffered is one millionth of what Palestinians suffer every day. Palestinians would pray to have a roof over their heads like we had in prison, even if there were twenty of us in a room for eight […] We must always remember that the flotilla and our mobilisation are a beacon to illuminate Gaza," Romano added.  Israeli forces intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla as it neared Gaza last week. The fleet aimed to break Israel's siege and deliver humanitarian aid to the enclave. Meanwhile, Tel Aviv accused the flotilla of violating a 'lawful blockade' and called the mission a publicity stunt.  All activists have now been released from Israeli detention.

00:00We are here, first of all, for Gaza, where continues the genocide,

00:11despite the conversation on a peace that is not coming,

00:15where they continue to die children innocent children,

00:18doctors, nurses, journalists,

00:20with bombs hit by Israel,

00:22which are also because of the Italian complicity

00:24and of a government that continues to send weapons.

00:27And then we ask the liberation of activists

00:29that this night have been stopped illegally,

00:32exactly as it happened to us,

00:34against the international law,

00:36always in the international law,

00:38always illegally,

00:39and that they don't have to suffer

00:41the dismay that we have suffered.

00:49We are collecting everything that happened,

00:51from the devastation of water,

00:53the deprivation of the son,

00:54the humiliations,

00:56the insults,

00:57the bombing of the Palestinians.

00:59We will have to ask the people

01:00to feed them all the time,

01:01but we will say that we have passed through the past,

01:03the vessations that we have suffered,

01:04are a millionth of what they have experienced

01:06every day the Palestinians.

01:07The Palestinians would pray

01:09to have a tetto in the head,

01:10like we were in jail,

01:12even if we were in a church,

01:13even if we were in a house in the house,

01:14even if we were in a Sunday,

01:15even if we had food or water,

01:16even if not as we were able to eat,

01:17as the bag of the people that were forced to eat,

01:18even if we were arrested,

01:19to receive from Israel

01:20just the violence that we had taken

01:22spinte e sganassoni e non le bombe che tutti i giorni trucidano i loro parenti e i loro figli

01:27e quindi dobbiamo sempre ricordarci che la flottiglia e la nostra mobilitazione è un faro

01:32per illuminare Gaza, non è il fine ma è il mezzo e che è Gaza e fermare il genocidio è l'obiettivo di tutti noi.
