Global Jews for Palestine (GJP) welcomes and supports the Global Sumud Flotilla, which challenges the Israeli regime’s blockade of Gaza by bringing desperately needed aid in an attempt to break the siege. As the organizers stated, ‘Each boat represents a community and a refusal to stay silent in the face of genocide.’ The flotilla highlights Israel’s collective punishment as well as genocide against Palestinians. The term ‘Sumud’ symbolises their steadfast resistance, as well as the persistence of the global solidarity movement.
