“Pretty hard to believe that the particularly heinous and brutal treatment Christian Smalls was subjected to by Israeli authorities was not a function of racism given it was not inflicted on other Handala detainees."

Why is the mainstream media not covering the illegal boarding of the #Handala and the kidnap of its passengers?

This is a British registered ship. Why hasn't the UK parliament raised hell about this act of piracy? Well, we know why the MPs haven't said anything. They're bought and paid for by Israel.

So, mainstream media, pieces of shit, zionist scum, every individual among you deserving of personal shame and the destruction of your careers, fuck you.

"Solidarity with Chris Smalls

American labor leader kidnapped and brutally assaulted by Zionist forces

Chris was arrested by the Israeli Occupation Forces from the civilian aid ship 'Handala', together with 20 other activists. The ship was on its way to Gaza carrying vital humanitarian aid, in a symbolic effort to break the Zionist blockade and forced starvation of the Palestinian people.

Trade Unionists arrested from civilian aid ship on its way to Gaza:

🇪🇸 Santiago González Vallejo
🇹🇷 Hatem Laouini
🇺🇸 Christian Smalls: founder of Amazon Labour Union, the first trade union to be officially sanctioned to represent Amazon workers in the U.S. In May 2025 Smalls was our guest at the FNV HQ in Utrecht to explain how he achieved this: with unwavering authenticity and the courage to stand up for justice.

Now, Chris needs our help: he is the only one of the 21 arrested activists to have been severely abused by the Zionist police: he was strangled and repeatedly kicked in the face and neck. As the only black prisoner, he is in a very vulnerable position in an apartheid state where holding prisoners without trial and subjection to torture are commonplace. …" [text continues on 3rd & 4th image]

WE DEMAND: following the example of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC); • the unconditional release of all Handala activists • international condemnation of and accountability for the illegal obstruction of Handala's humanitarian mission and the racist violence against Chris Smalls by the Zionist army and police • an immediate end to the blockade of Gaza and the unconditional and permanent withdrawal of the Zionist occupation army from Gaza

For months the Zionist regime has been blocking all food, water and other vital resources from entering Gaza. Last week, the United Nations reported that 85% of Gaza's population is in the final stage of famine. This means that they could die within days and their bodies are irreversibly damaged, even if sufficient food and water were to become available now. A few days ago, the civilian aid ship Handala set sail for Gaza, carrying vital humanitarian aid, in a symbolic attempt to break the Zionist blockade. A few kilometres off the coast of Gaza, the boat was stopped without legal grounds and boarded by the Zionist occupation army. All 21 activists on board were unlawfully arrested. Amongst them are three trade unionists.

Les 21 membres de l’équipage du #Handala, navire de la #FlottilledelaLiberté, ont été emprisonnés suite à leur arrestation dans la nuit du 26 au 27 juillet. Si 5 d’entre eux ont accepté de signer un document leur permettant d’être expulsés dès lundi, ceux qui sont toujours détenus sont victimes de pressions et de violences des autorités #israéliennes, alertent leurs avocats.

Israel put the white Jewish volunteers on a plane but are still holding hostage and beating the only Black volunteer and it's Chris Smalls. Just by this one act, Israel is proving that it's the #apartheid state its defenders claim that it isn't. Chris is a brave soul sailing into this hell. He knew.

Starts with a message from the IOF boat to the Handala. Then listen to the Handala activist's response. The sheer class of the reply. Big up Handala
