Hi everyone.

I'm a member of the flotilla and preparing to leave for Gaza soon hopefully. A lot hanging on logistics and other things still but I will know more the coming days.

Had to start a new channel old one did not work properly https://youtube.com/@andersjohansson-o2g

action_for_palestine@tankie.tube will only post post sailing here.

anders_gsf@tankie.tube for the trip

Sorry for the changes had to switch up on the phones a bit.

We will set sail in September. I hope to be be able to update a bit on these channels and setting up new accounts for this purpose.

Any tips, shares and discussions are welcomed and I hope to be be able to update on the journey a bit here.

Official updates will be made from official accounts but this will be my personal experience and as a backup for when other communications no longer are available.

Palestine will be free!

Hi , so I still can't update much more but to say we have been delayed. A lot of work do to here and amazing people to meet . Huge support from the locals here in Italy. The dockworkers union will stop all Isreal transports if any interference with the flotilla. As well as other actions from university groups and others.

When I applied for this my thoughts was that the likely outcome would be interception . Now I'm getting more and more hopeful that we will actually be able to go all the way to Gaza.

Really good luck my friend ❤️

Based. My tip would be to make sure to get good footage and trying to broadcast it live. A huge part of these trips is raising awareness.

[–] From_the_river_to_the_sea@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago

Yeah there will be some good live reports , mostly the challenges are security before. So will be official channels up until then.

[–] Mangoholic@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

Best of luck

So everything in last minute :) will know for sure tomorrow if I'm going and if I get time off from work. I will try to answer messages as soon as I set up the phone I'm bringing. Thanks all :)

Hi again

I couldn't answer messages the app I got didn't work for answering them. Will have to change later but on the question how I got in is the same as for anyone I applied on the website. And I had some skills that's useful.

Been busy times now so preparing everything and brushing up and my navigational skills :)

Will start posting videos once everything is in place
