Tunisia activists launch Gaza-bound convoy in 'symbolic act'

2025-06-10

[GEO.TV] Hundreds of people, mainly Tunisians, launched on Monday a land convoy bound for Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, seeking to "break the siege" on the Paleostinian territory, activists said.

The modern version of a Children’s Crusade, and just as ineffective. In the original, the children ended up dead or enslaved long before they neared Jerusalem.

Organisers said the nine-bus convoy was not bringing aid into Gaza,

No Aid??? Wow.

but rather aimed at carrying out a "symbolic act" by breaking the blockade on the territory described by the United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
as "the hungriest place on Earth".

Still hungry after the 1.5million or so Gazans received 11 million meals over the past two weeks via GHF alone, never mind what the UN-linked NGOs have handed out? That’s nuts.

The "Soumoud" convoy, meaning "steadfastness" in Arabic, includes doctors and aims to arrive in Rafah, in southern Gaza, "by the end of the week", activist Jawaher Channa told AFP.

It is set to pass through Libya and Egypt, although Cairo has yet to provide passage permits, she added.

Both Egypt and Israel would have to open the border crossing into Gaza for them. What odds?

"We are about a thousand people, and we will have more join us along the way," said Channa, spokesperson of the Tunisian Coordination of Joint Action for Paleostine, the group organising the caravan.

Greta Thunberg and her fellow selfie jihadis were intercepted just before they arrived in Gaza, and are now being sent home by Israel But I was reminded of Vittorio Arrigoni, an Italian activist-journalist with the International Solidarity Movement, who won his way into Gaza in 2008, and stayed on, doing all the activist things including reporting on the 2008-9 Gaza war … until 2011, when the ungrateful local Al Qaeda affiliate kidnapped him, and within 24 hours murdered him by hanging. Perhaps Israel should let the Tunisians through, to enjoy in full measure all the pleasures of Gaza for themselves.
The Times of Israel adds:

The overland effort — organized independently but moved up to coincide with the high-profile maritime flotilla that was seized by the Israeli Navy Monday — is made up of activists, lawyers, and medical professionals from North Africa. It plans to traverse Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt before reaching Rafah, the border crossing with Egypt that has remained largely closed since Israel’s military took control of the Gaza side in May 2024.
