βItβs not about us, itβs about Gazaβ
Before departing from Barcelona on Sunday, hundreds of volunteers on the Sumud Flotilla stressed that the βnews storyβ is not them, but the hundreds of thousands of people dying from Israelβs genocide in Gaza.
βWe are not heroes. We are not the story. The story is about the people of Gaza,β said Thiago Avila, a lifelong activist for Palestine and an organiser for the flotilla.
Many others on board the Flotilla echoed that sentiment and stressed that they were compelled to join the flotilla due to the distressing and horrific images of Palestinian children being relentlessly killed and starved to death.
βI love my daughter so much, as the mothers and fathers in Gaza [love their children], and because of this love. We cannot leave a world like this,β said Avila.

The U.S. has suspended visa approvals for nearly all Palestinian passport holders, expanding Trumpβs earlier restrictions on Gaza. The suspension would prevent Palestinians from travelling to the United States for medical treatment, family reunification, and attending college and business travel.
So, America doesnβt want Palestinians to visit the U.S., yet it wants to take over Gaza and force Palestinians out of their own land!
