"Welcome to Israel": Sexual assault, extreme violence reported by Gaza aid flotilla activists

Israel has released hundreds of activists aboard a flotilla that attempted to break its naval blockade of Gaza.The Israeli Foreign Ministry says all foreigners were deported on Thursday following their release.The Gaza -bound flotilla, with more than 50 boats, left Turkey last week to highlight the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.It was intercepted near Cyprus on Monday, followed by a global condemnation of Israel's mistreatment of the activists, which included several Canadians.On Wednesday, a far -right Israeli minister posted a video showing him mocking the detained civilians.That led the Canadian government to summon Israel's ambassador to voice his concerns.

This barbaric, cruel regime must be disbanded.United States and Germany are funding it 100 % with the backing of England, France and all the Western powers.Gothamites who are a white menace spreading pestilence and violence wherever they go.

We've experienced a really dystopic kind of version of Israel here that you hear and read about in the news but to actually experience it first hand is a very different thing altogether like we've been beaten, tortured, systematically dehumanized and We've just had a little taste of what the Palestinians go through every day, some for years in detention.

From when we were intercepted, we were met with such levels of violence.Our boats were shot at.And from the moment that we entered the prison ship to touching down in occupied Palestine, we were violated in all different manner of ways.And the fact that Israel would do that to us, with the world on us, I can only imagine what they do to Palestinian prisoners.

We were taken to a prison boat, three of them I'm pretty sure.In one of the prison boats 35 people suffered fractures.to their ribs.People said there was at least 12 sexual assaults that took place.People were tased.Me, personally, I was kept in cuffs where I can't feel my hands anymore.

I was kicked in the ribs multiple times.

They treated them like we are under the animal.Now we have lots of reasons to hate them, really.We spent five days with them and we have lots of reasons to hate them.

A place of terror, a place where there was basically a square of containers in which they kept people in the containers, bread and water, even little water up to a certain point for what they told me those who had been there for a day.We were one of the last boats they took, so there were people when we arrived who had been there for a while, since the day before.Welcome to Israel.This is what they said.

They were saying, welcome to Israel.There was even a panic room in which we were introduced, they gave us the shoes in hand so that we could not even defend ourselves.We did not know that we were entering this container and there were three people saying, welcome to Israel, three Ergoumenis who beat us wildly.I took a punch in the eye, at a certain point it seemed that I could not see anymore, I took kicks, anyway.And they called us, when they were with the soldiers, We were with our hands up and they asked us to move forward.We were all out of the containers.

They asked us to move forward with our hands up, and then they asked us to turn around.Those were probably the longest seconds of my life.Then they took us by the neck and divided us.From that moment on, I don't know anything about my companions.
