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.

Totally agree with President Trump’s decision to launch Project Freedom, whose purpose is to restore freedom of navigation for the Strait of Hormuz, a vital passageway for the world economy that has been locked down by Iranian terrorism. It is clear to me that Iran is playing games through negotiations as their last offer to end the conflict was absurd. Again, I hope this conflict can end diplomatically, but it is now time to regain freedom of navigation and forcefully respond to Iran if they insist on terrorizing the world. Enough with this terrorist regime’s behavior.

Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Israel, just posted a deranged screed wherein he repeats all the debunked genocidal atrocity propaganda hoaxes, from the 40 beheaded babies in ovens to the rapes, and even claims it's all on video. No such video exists. He's just openly lying. Now he did the classic mistake with his regurgitation of the hasbara scripts, because he added the 40 beheaded babies in ovens burned alive hoax alongside the others, which proves all of it is a fabricated atrocity propaganda hoax as even Israeli media and police records confirmed that no baby was beheaded and there's of course no video of that or any rape or burning anyone alive in a wheelchair or whatever deranged lunacy was implanted in that crazed freak's mind by his Zionist handlers. He also adds the original twist that Blinken and Biden loved so much, "in front of their parents". That's the hasbara cherry on top: The non-existent babies were beheaded in front of their non-existent mothers. The non-existent women were raped in front of their non-existent children. You see, they couldn't just leave it at the basic level of hoax. They had to up the ante, because hey, when we're making shit up that the NYT and BBC and Guardian reprint because we own them, let's go all the way, and say, "in front of their parents/children", to evoke this image too Schindler's List style. Now a very simple question arises from this: If they are willing to lie about this so openly and shamelessly, without any fear that any media outlet will hold them to account for it even though they also know it's a lie, what won't they lie about? The answer is nothing. They will and do lie about everything.
