Italy is sending a ship to accompany the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla, who said its activists remain shaken but determined following an Israeli attack on Wednesday morning.

Organisers of expedition, which is attempting to carry aid to the Gaza Strip, shared footage this morning appears to show an explosion that detonated on one of the flotilla's vessels.

Late on Tuesday activists heard explosions and saw drones that targeted some of their boats, currently situated off Greece. "Multiple drones, unidentified objects dropped, communications jammed and explosions heard from a number of boats," the Global Sumud Flotilla said.

"I have authorised the immediate intervention of the Navy's frigate Fasan, which was sailing north of Crete and is heading towards the area," Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said in a statement.

It's not bad faith to criticize armchair theorists who don't do shit but cry online about other people not being leftist enough. It's fine to have criticism of China but acting like you are a better communist than any CPC member because they don't follow your video game logic on geopolitics is sad. If the 100 million CPC members are revisionist cowards then most people here are anti communist larping as leftists because they have never done and will never do shit for anyone but themselves

“Video game logic”

I just want them to fucking oppose genocidal fascists in a material way. What is your deal? I’m not making purity demands of them this is the lowest possible bar. Like what is the resistance here to agreeing with the criticisms of China in regards to their active trade and involvement with Israel?

They do oppose genocidal fascists in material ways, you are just aren't considering those ways because it isn't the specific ways you want to see. Selling cellphones and electric cars to Israel isn't the Achilles heel of the genocide. China provides war support to all of Israel's enemies, directly and indirectly. Palestinian factions praise China for their support and demand more from the people of the nations who are actually enabling Israel.

"Comrade Mazhar further stressed that China is a springboard for important global transformations that put an end to US imperialist hegemony and its savage policies in the world, expressing the Front’s pride in the historical China-Palestine relations, which reflect the depth and strength of relations that unite the two peoples, and which have witnessed a great acceleration in recent years in all fields, highly appreciating China’s constant support for the just causes of the Palestinian people in their struggle to restore their legitimate national rights.

He expressed great confidence that China and its leadership will continue to support the struggle of the Palestinian people for statehood, stressing the Front’s keenness to develop relations with the CPC in all fields."

If the Deputy Secretary-General of the PFLP has this to say about China, I think the online ultras are ultraing online instead of forming a grounded, accurate analysis of China's role in the genocide.
