Israel is reportedly intercepting the flotilla. Discussion thread below.
‼️ Breaking Now: This is the last received update from the Global Sumud Flotilla vessel "Marinette". Spirits are high and they continue to sail on their mission undeterred.

Captain Nikos boarded.
Fully armed freaks again.
Camera feed intermittent.

man would yell "free the jews, fuck palestine, i hope a bomb drops on your guys' boats."
chris smalls would rebuttal (after the heckler was booted) "show much hatred these guys have, they don't understand it's not about being jewish, this is about a systematic oppression of people"
Of course it’s a guy even whiter than I am with an english accent lmao. I’m pretty sure he could not even eat his doritos afterwards, too much shaking from the adrenaline.
Comments on the marinette stream suggest they're slowing until daybreak so they don't get too close in the dark
gsfnews telegram saying that remaining boats continue towards gaza and comms have been re-established, Israeli news reporting that interception will continue into Oct 2nd.
If they only got 7, that's pretty good odds for the flotilla all things considered. They seemingly picked off those with notable public figures and journalists first. Then went at others with water cannons
I'm not sure if it's still the case but I think YouTube lives still have a 12 hour hard out on stream length.
The people on the boat Alma just formed a circle kneeled down on the deck, wearing life vests and then the camera went black.
Now it's two boats seized, the livestream is down.
Edit. Livestream is back up.
‼️ Breaking: Crew of the boarded and seized ships are being kidnapped and transported to unknown locations currently.
I think a guy on the Fair Lady just went for a swim. Based.
‼️ Update: Shocking video shows a Global Sumud Flotilla vessel being escorted into the Port of Ashdod by Israeli patrol boats.

Hey I just heard "they're here they're here prepare for interception" on the Livestream.
In the midst of “it’s so over”
I found within myself an invincible “WE’RE SO BACK”
Go mikeno go!!
‼️ Update: We want to make it clear, the "Mikeno" entered Gazan territorial waters over an hour and a half ago. The ships speed was drastically reduced to almost 0 knotts shortly thereafter. They cut all electronic communication devices, GPS, and transponders in an attempt to stay dark (which worked in accessing the Gazan waters and maneuvering around the Israelis). We haven't received a confirmed report or ping since this moment.

(having a hard time accessing via invidious)
few hours ago things were looking more peaceful than described here
but now
It looks like it’s Mikeno or bust. The official tracker says they are still sailing, all other boats intercepted or assumed intercepted
Reportedly, the Mikeno turned off all devices and trackers, sped ahead, and have now re-established contact. Reported by gsfnews on Telegram, which seems to be run by members of the flotilla - comrade @StillNoLeftLeft@hexbear.net says it was renamed from a channel linked by the official flotilla channel, and it seems to have been accurate so far.
Now Florida is being boarded
Nervous that Mikeno seems to not have been updated on the official tracker for an hour, but I believe
Thank you for sharing this
