Thank you for the opportunity to bring the story of the emergency Gaza Freedom Flotilla to your listeners. Unfortunately, the day after our interview, Guinea Bissau, the country flagging 2 of the 3 flotilla ships, in collusion with Israel, pulled them at the last moment the day before we were set to sail.
Here is a Democracy Now interview with Huwaida Arraf, of the International Solidarity Movement, providing the details: https://www.democracynow.org/2024/4/29/gaza_freedom_flotilla?autostart=true
And here is an article from the Times of Israel from March telling the visiting President of Guinea Bissau, "You are a true friend of Israel": https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/herzog-tells-visiting-president-of-guinea-bissau-you-are-a-true-friend-of-israel/
This news was utterly devastating.
Peace,
