Israeli soldiers beat and tortured flotilla organisers Saif Abukeshek and Thiago Ávila after abducting them in international waters near Greece in the early hours of Thursday morning, lawyers and diplomats have said. After illegally intercepting 22 boats and kidnapping around 200 activists hundreds of miles from Gaza, Israel transferred the majority to Greek authorities, but refused to release Abukeshek and Ávila. Instead, it transported them back to an Israeli desert prison, where Palestinians are routinely tortured. Brazilian activist Ávila was dragged face-down across the floor and beaten so badly he passed out twice, lawyers said, after visiting him on Saturday. His wife, Lara Souza, said an embassy official told her he had been temporarily blinded by his injuries, with his left eye still swollen shut, but he was being denied medical treatment. In a brief visit, where he was separated from the consul by a glass screen and not able to speak freely, he reported pain all over his body, especially in his hand and shoulder, and said that soldiers had threatened to throw him overboard and target his wife and two-year-old daughter. Abukeshek, who had been sailing on an observer boat and did not intend to go to Gaza, was “in shock”, his wife Sally Issa said. He was forced to lie face-down on the floor of an Israeli warship for two days, lawyers said, blindfolded and with his hands bound behind his back. Spain has demanded Israel release Abukeshek, who is Palestinian but holds Spanish and Swedish citizenship. On Friday, prime minister Pedro Sánchez said he had been "illegally abducted by the Netanyahu government". On Sunday, the activists appeared before an Israeli court, where a judge extended their detention by two days. Lawyers demanded their immediate and unconditional release, telling the court the entire process was "fundamentally flawed and illegal", and describing Israel's actions as a "retaliatory measure against humanitarian activist leaders". The two men have now been transferred back to solitary confinement in Shikma prison, where they are being held in windowless cells. Both are on hunger strike, with Ávila saying he will not leave without Abukeshek.

@VividProwess Some nasty piece of work

Thiago Avila, a despicable terror supporter and one of the organizers of the Gaza flotilla against Israel, is under arrest in Israel. If we really want to put an end to these stupid flotillas, then these Hamas useful idiots must be held accountable. Lock him up.

@Irishchutzpah God we have two fuckn idiots now

Margaret Connolly, on RTÉ Six One News “My heart lies with the Palestinian people. We’ve had 800 years of colonisation by England. Why wouldn’t I go on the flotilla?” Neither of the Connolly sisters have said a word about the massacre of 40,000 Iranian citizens over a couple of days by the IRGC mullah regime.

@LewisJonathanE You sad asshole

Just days after a brutal antisemitic attack in London, an Irish "pro-Palestinian" group in County Cork reposted this How is this not a threat to Irish Jews?

@DavQuinn All about George when he said he got a irish passport dead silence when he mentioned about his Jewish friends complete silence

There are definitely anti-Semites in Ireland, there are many more who see 'Zionist' conspiracies everywhere, but the vast majority of us are totally ignorant about Jews and Judaism.

@TrumpsHurricane Fuck of

This Hispanic woman says “Not my Anthem, Not my country and Not my President” What is your response to her ??

@TrumpsHurricane To gaza

@PabloEchenique If only it was true

Arrastrado boca abajo, golpeado hasta desmayarse dos veces, dos días maniatado y con los ojos vendados. Esto no es detención. Es tortura. Y los gobiernos europeos lo han permitido. Lean ⬇️ diario-red.com/articulo/inter…

@Malcolm_Pal9 Now israel is in trouble the little weasel has spoken

Greta Thunberg demands the release of all members of the flotilla who were kidnapped by Israel in international waters.

@SikhFeminist Take apill idiot

To publicly admit you're a Zionist is to publicly admit you're an amoral, repulsive person who supports genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and terrorism.

@toparlanvegitme No such luck

@PaulDoherty___ Pair of assholes

A real honour to accept an invitation to the Mansion House in Dublin this evening and to be in the company of President Catherine Connolly, Uachtarán na hÉireann 🇮🇪 An inspirational leader with a powerful record of standing up for people, equality and justice. As my term as Deputy Mayor comes to an end in just a few weeks, moments like this are a reminder of the privilege it has been to represent Belfast and my community. #Comhaltas75

@FonsiLoaiza Fuck you and that piece of shite

Los activistas Thiago Ávila y Saif Abukeshek de la Flotilla por Palestina han sido secuestrados y sometidos a torturas por los genocidas de Israel. Greta Thunberg pide difusión para su liberación.

@teshsidi Get afuckn job asshole

Israel no es un Estado, es una ocupación criminal, y no dudará en acabar con la vida de Saif si España y la UE no ejercen una presión coordinada de bloqueo y aislamiento total. Es injustificable que mantengamos cualquier tipo de relación con los genocidas.

@raslebol2026 Fuckn old cow

Vanessa Redgrave (88ans) participe à une manifestation pour Gaza devant la mairie de Lambeth. Elle a également dédié tout son discours aux Oscars à l'antifascisme et à l'anti-sionisme en 1977 et s'est fait démolir pour ça à Hollywood. Assurément une très grd dame MADAME Redgrave.
