Dehumanization has penetrated deeply into the powers of the West, and they look with indifference to the holocaust that Gaza is suffering; in Gaza, if bombs do not kill you, you will die of hunger.

Now that our ship has been bombed it is a total impotence, we are well and we see the need to get out of the spotlight in order to give prominence to the genocide that Palestine suffers.

What would we do if, with the kids inside, they bombed the school? And if soon after they bombed the school next door, and then another, and another... and the store, and the hospital, and the house. What if, at the same time, they take your food away? And the electricity? And the water?

Everyone knows, and even those who look the other way, that a terrible massacre is taking place in Palestine, which can be equated with the darkest episodes in the history of humanity. And if the European powers do not respond firmly to this slaughter, the citizens will have to do so; if not, we will be complicit in the slaughter, like those who denied crematoriums in Nazi Germany.

How far should human degeneration go in order for Europe to intervene against genocide? How many children need to be amputated to say, ‘Enough!’, ‘Enough!’?

Often the cruelty is so terrible that it annihilates us: we feel utterly insignificant. If they don't even listen to the UN, how are they going to listen to us?

But we need to do something about the ship of our choice: either by boycotting Israeli products, or by putting Palestinian flags on the balconies, or by putting banners on the squares, by denouncing genocide in those with the closest power, by acting as human shields in Palestine... Mobilize and organize.

We need to demonstrate the power of popular action. We need to come together to give an answer.

We, today, have decided that our ship is the Conscience ship. Awareness is a beautiful concept: knowledge that gives you the peace of mind to act as you think you should.

Let's shake our consciences.

We sailed to Gaza to break Israel’s blockade by sea. But I wonder: Is the sea around the Palestinian coast also Israel’s? Is it all Israel? The whole thing? There is no Palestine? Has it never existed? Does anyone believe that? Or is it a strategy to massacre an entire village, to deprive its citizens of their land and to colonize the area?

To conclude this brief interview, M. I want to bring you a beautiful quote from the Palestinian poet Darwich, which defines everything that has been said much shorter and much better: “It was Palestine, it’s Palestine.”
