It's not that I have a lot of interest in this but since this Gaza Flotilla involved some activists from Malaysia and has made the headlines several days ago with the Prime Minister getting involved as well, one can't ignore it.

Apparently the latest Gaza Flotilla activists were roughed up and abused by Israeli forces and apparently some Malaysian activists are also roughed up, but there is little information or detail on this. Some activists were kicked, slapped and roughed up. Some links below.

To cut a story short, I guess we are all aware of the noble and humanitarian effort by activists not only from Malaysia but other parts of the world in trying to help the poor Palestinians, and it is fortunate that the first batch of Malaysian activists in Gaza Flotilla are now safe and sound and back in Malaysia after the intervention by the Malaysian government. However, from what I see the activists are still proceeding with their mission. As we all know Israel is despised by many and do not behave like humans. They kill at free will, bombing hospitals and even humanitarian workers who are helping the Palestinians, killing everyone including women, children and the humanitarian workers. Just lately a video of a bombing when workers are helping injured people circulated in the media and on Youtube. It's just horrible that they launch missiles and bombs at people who are helping the injured. It's just a normal day of killing for them.

All this shows that Israel have no qualms of killing as they do so frequently as so many have lost their lives. Yet there are people who still risk their lives to go there on the Gaza flotilla mission, only to be intercepted by Israeli forces halfway through. I don't know about the details of the Gaza Flotilla mission so please help me understand. The mission may be considered safe but still, to me the Israelis are not human as they continue with their war crimes. There will still be a risk, big or small if one is detained by Israeli forces especially people from a country like Malaysia which has no ties with Israel.

So what is it with Malaysian activists who are still carrying out their noble mission? Is the mission is still considered safe, or the well-fare of the Palestinians are more important than the activists themselves? From what I gather, most of the activists are well-educated, some lecturers, professors and doctors.

I guess with the ceasefire...I doubt any should go there already. It appears that this time around everyone wants the ceasefire to work, especially USA!

Yes, the ceasefire plan is now in place but it's not exactly a confirmed thing that the killings will stop as there are reports that it’s unclear whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the military to stop fighting. I think it's still dangerous to make a trip there at the moment, maybe few months later it 'may' be safe, I don't know.

The flotilla mission has succeeded then. Since you are opening a thread here.

If you read the history of the flotilla, and the website, you will understand. The first mission was done as early in 2008.

Of course they already know they will be intercepted. They are doing it to raise awareness upon the world for this conflict. This is not just Malaysia alone, but multiple countries around the world.

The gaza people are living in an open prison , under occupation and beseiged .even before oct 7 2023. government of the world have failed the palestinians .

Hence the flotillas are sending a message to the palestinians, telling "you are not alone in this world" . It lifts their spirit .

I see, I don't know about this Flotilla mission and only got to know after I watch the news and headlines which reported it, especially the foreign minister Mohamad Hasan who went live on TV3 several days ago sharing on the government's effort in the release of the first batch of Malaysian activists. He said that he had to 'work overtime' since the PM himself is working hard in getting the activists released which cracks me up.

So if the Flotilla mission has started in 2008, I presume there were no cases of activists in the mission getting injured or killed. Otherwise nobody would continue with the mission in 2025.

There is ongoing War.
hence israel has a naval blockade.


A past incident , G says

UN Reports on the 2010 Flotilla Incident:

Palmer Report (UN Secretary-General's Panel of Inquiry):
It concluded that Israel's naval blockade was legal under the laws of armed conflict

there is. read up about mavi marmara case . these kind of flotilla is high risk.

after the mavi marmara case, the activist were given proper training - that's why if u see all of the interception video, it always the same pattern and SOP. life vest on, hands on the air, throw phone, .

last time on mavi marmara there were violence, then the IDF decide to straight up shoot to kill instead of just immobilizing /arresting them .


to get a more understanding on the matter, read up or follow the ZRA (zainal rashid ahmad) . This figure is legendary in malaysia, back in those days, he infiltrated palestine under israel and did a documentary that was on majalah 3 . very old documentary. but still relevant to this day

OPEN prison ??
if you study the GAZA Agreement s . Rafah crossing under PA management was to be the international gateway.
WHY blame Israel.


The events surrounding Israel's withdrawal from Gaza in 2005 involved several key agreements and a major unilateral plan.
The Israeli Disengagement Plan: This was the overall plan for Israel's unilateral withdrawal from all Israeli settlements and military forces in the Gaza Strip (and four settlements in the northern West Bank). It was proposed by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, adopted by the Cabinet in 2004, and officially approved by the Knesset as the Disengagement Plan Implementation Law in June 2004.

Agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA):

Agreement on Movement and Access (AMA): Signed on November 15, 2005, with the involvement of the Quartet (US, UN, EU, and Russia). This agreement aimed to improve Palestinian freedom of movement and economic activity, and included provisions for the opening of the Rafah Crossing on the Gaza-Egypt border.

Agreed Principles for Rafah Crossing: This was part of the AMA and detailed the operation of the Rafah crossing under Palestinian Authority control, with monitoring by the European Union

People keep romanticizing the Gaza flotilla as a “"humanitarian" mission when in reality, it's a political stunt designed to provoke Israel. The UN Palmer Report(2011) already concluded Israel's naval blockade on Gaza is legal under international law, precisely because Hamas, the group controlling Gaza, is a designated terrorist organization by the U.S., EU, U.K., Canada, and even Arab states. Israel already allows hundreds of aid trucks through official crossings daily, the flotilla deliberately ignores that process to create viral outrage.

The 2010 Mavi Marmara incident proved how staged this all is. "Peace activists" on board attacked Israeli commandos with knives and metal pipes, hardly humanitarian behavior. Every country in the world would stop unauthorized vessels entering a restricted security zone. But when Israel does it, suddenly it's "war crimes." The hypocrisy is staggering.

And the "Israel kills for fun" narrative is just propaganda. Hamas routinely hides behind civilians, launches rockets from schools and hospitals, and stores weapons in UN facilities, confirmed by Amnesty, UN OCHA, and even Al Jazeera's own investigations. The flotilla participants may be educated, but they're not neutral, they're knowingly feeding a propaganda machine that keeps Palestinians trapped under Hamas rule.
