Australian activists who were detained by Israel as part of the Global Sumud Flotilla that intended to deliver aid to Gaza have said they were raped and tortured while being held by Israeli security forces.

Israel intercepted some 50 yachts in international waters off Cyprus in mid-May, detaining 430 volunteers from 40 nations, who were attempting to break the naval blockade of the Palestinian enclave. They spent several days in detention before being deported

The first of the 11 Australian citizens from the flotilla returned home to Melbourne late on Sunday evening, while others arrived in Sydney and Brisbane on Monday.

Documentary filmmaker Juliet Lamont said that she went through “absolute hell” during her four days in Israeli custody.

“I was dragged into a darkened container ship on a prison boat. I was sexually assaulted. I was beaten… I’ve looked into the eyes of the most soulless people in the universe, and nothing came back,” she recalled, as cited by Reuters.

Australian climate activist Violete CoCo told The Guardian that she was detained at gunpoint, stripped of her clothes, and shoved into a shipping container where she was beaten, kicked, and sexually assaulted. Soldiers also took photos of her naked body, she added.

“We were constantly kept in a state of different styles of torture, we just didn’t know which pain was coming next,” CoCo claimed.

Another volunteer, Sam Woripa Watson, said he was repeatedly kicked and punched by Israeli servicemen, suffering cheek bone and rib fractures as well as other injuries. He also claimed he witnessed fellow activists being tasered, shot with rubber bullets, and having stun grenades thrown at them.

“Overwhelmingly, the worst feeling is to hear that people that you love are being tortured and being raped around you in the same space and you have no power to do anything about it,” Watson said.

The Israeli military denied the accusations, insisting it has a procedure of “respectful and appropriate treatment of flotilla participants” and that it was not aware of any deviations by troops.

Israel claims the blockade of Gaza is necessary to prevent weapons from getting into the enclave. It also denies withholding supplies for Palestinians in Gaza, almost 2 million of whom have been displaced since the outbreak of the conflict between Israel and Hamas in October 2023.

19 thought on “Gaza flotilla activists accuse Israel of rape and torture”
  1. What soul Israelis once had departed after they were all double jabbed with Pfizer…Satanyahoo did a deal with Bourla: free kill shots for their health data. This treachery resulted in a zombie army that has no conscience (or humanity) whatsoever. I have no doubt as to the veracity of the reports by those on the flotilla, it is consistent with other reports coming out of Israhell. Once again, a nation of pariahs…and golems.

  2. Professor Joe Bogan said – “… If God or Buddha wants you to be a martyr they should be able to arrange that…”

    You left out Lucifer.

    You know, the Vampires’ deity. Except they don’t do “martyrs”, they do SACRIFICES – of US.

    Just saying.

  3. “The ‘Jewish Question’ in 15th and 16th Century Spain”
    .
    “Historian Sustains Spanish Inquisition Myths”
    “Reviewed by Brian Chalmers”
    .
    “It is nearly impossible to dig into any chapter of Jewish history without uncovering lessons for our own age. Spain during the 15th and 16th centuries is a particularly striking example. Even today, our view of this period, and particularly of the Spanish Inquisition, colors our attitudes regarding relations between Jews and non-Jews. The Inquisition is considered one of Jewish history’s darkest chapters — and one of Christian history’s most shameful.”
    .
    “In 1391 intense, pent up anti-Jewish sentiment in Christian Spain erupted with great violence against the country’s prosperous, well-established Jewish community. Spanish cities were engulfed in ferocious pogroms that destroyed much property and claimed many lives.”
    .
    “Thus began a century of conflict between Jews and non-Jews that culminated in the mass expulsion of all Jews from Spain in 1492. (Ten years later, the Muslims were likewise driven out.)
    .
    “In their edict of expulsion, issued on March 31, 1492, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella announced their “decision to banish all Jews of both sexes forever from the precincts of Our realm.” Ordered, on pain of death, to leave within four months, the Jews were permitted to take their personal belongings, except for gold, silver, coined money, or jewels. Estimates of the number of Jews banished generally range from about 165,000 to 400,000.
    An estimated 50,000 Jews chose baptism to avoid expulsion. In his diary Christopher Columbus noted: “In the same month in which Their Majesties issued the edict that all Jews should be driven out of the kingdom and its territories, in the same month they gave me the order to undertake with sufficient men my expedition of discovery to the Indies.””
    .
    “Expulsions of Jews and outbreaks of anti-Jewish violence have been features of both European and non-Western societies over many centuries and under a variety of political and religious regimes. What is noteworthy about these 14th- and 15th-century actions in Spain, however, is that tens of thousands of Jews escaped death or expulsion by converting to Christianity. As a result, by the middle of the 15th century there was a numerically large (perhaps 100,000), and politically and economically significant community of people of Jewish descent in Spain who were, at least outwardly, Christians.”

    .
    Big mistake to allow the option of “conversion”.
    The Jews had also facilitated the muslim incursion into Spain. They’re doing the same today everywhere in the Western world.
    HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF IF THE APPROPRIATE LESSONS ARE NOT LEARNED.
    FALSE (Jewish written) HISTORY GIVES FALSE LESSONS. Jewish interpreted “history” DOMINATES the Western world now.

  4. When there is no effective and exclusive “antisemitic” (anti-Jewish influence AND anti-Islam influence) opposition, there is no real opposition at all.

  5. At the end of the article, and above the comments section it says “related post” and there is a map of Zion, which is already baked in. It includes Ben Gurion Canal to the Persian Gulf, Egypt up to the Nile east bank, half of Iraq and all of Lebanon, but it does not show the south half of Turkiye which will also be annexed. As much as a strategic land grab this is a revenge on the Ottomans and their descendants. These blood feuds go on forever but I think it’s better to have enough faith in religious matters to stay clear of it all. If God or Buddha wants you to be a martyr they should be able to arrange that.

  6. It’s good to see our neighbours Indonesia condemning the actions of international criminal, Itamar Ben-Gvir against the detained Gaza-bound flotilla.
    .
    Iran a long time supporter of the captured people of Gaza must be heartened by their waring Gulf neighbours finally taking a stand against Israel’s zionist-beast genocidal destroyers of mankind.
    .
    The millions of dollars recently given by Albo inc. to Jewish groups, should be returned to the public coffers.
    .
    Public-funding to supporter groups of rogue states and all followers of extremist religious beliefs must be severed.

  7. Now, I ask: what would Australians have to gain by lying about being raped and tortured by the Israelies?? Why would they lie about their now broken ribs and other broken bones in their bodies – which were NOT there before the Israelies took them??

  8. Finally liberal ‘virtual signallers’ realise there are consequences to their behaviour..
    .
    It is this group of people who are responsible for dumping violent third world immigrants into my community. Now they understand what they’ve inflicted upon my peaceful community. Why should I care for them? I don’t.

  9. This attack has resulted in deafening silence from the Oz media. One can well imagine the media response had Israeli citizens been intercepted in international waters and kicked and beaten by the Iranian military. The silence from Wong is equally deafening.

  10. Well folks,
    .
    We might rightly say “So what?”.
    .
    Because what’s the big deal complaining about what we already know? What EVERYONE already knows but the Vampire Familiars infesting every strata and nook and cranny of our societal institutions and all the machinery of fake Vampire-owned corporate “governance” just deny and obfuscate and excuse and ignore with RELIGIOUS, you might even say SATANIC, predictability.
    .
    You all know that NOTHING will result from ANY of this, right? Because the Vampires have the ENTIRE WORLD by the Gonads, lying and scheming conniving and collaborating and back-stabbing and double-dealing and guilt-tripping and crisis-acting to JUSTIFY them being able to do whatever they want to the REST OF THE WORLD, to villify and persecute and rape and torture and butcher and GENOCIDE with neither restraint nor remorse.
    .
    You know who rules you by whom you CANNOT CRITICISE. The Vampires get to KILL all the Goyim and LAUGH about it, because there’s literally NO ACCOUNTABILITY at all for these Demonic vermin, not here nor there nor ANYWHERE around the world. Face it, folks, if you allow yourselves to fall into their clutches, then you may as well just bend over and resign yourself to your fate, you may as well ENJOY being robbed and extorted and assaulted and tortured and humiliated and raped and BEATEN TO DEATH, because ain’t no-one anywhere on Earth with the means to do anything about it gonna give a flying rat’s arse, they’re not gonna give a single solitary SHIT, because in case you haven’t noticed, the Vampires OWN THEM ALL.
    .
    And Vampires do what Vampires do, you might say it’s in their BLOOD. And if you have any doubts about that, maybe just take a look at what they’ve BEEN DOING since FOREVER and have absolutely no intention of EVER stopping until we’re ALL either enslaved or DEAD.
    .
    And just BTW, folks, let’s not be shooting the messenger here, because we’re just relaying the word on the street (or UNDER it, as was discovered there in New York). And after all, it’s THEIR Rabbis that boast how they’re a SEPARATE SPECIES to the rest of Humanity, it’s THEIR Rabbis who declare that even the very BEST of the Goyim should be killed without compunction, so don’t be trying to pin that shit on any of US.

  11. This pretend or otherwise conflict is just stupidity personified.
    Why get involved in someone elses never ending conflict that no one can resolve.
    Just leave it be and get on with your life, and show some love and consideration to those who surround you.
    If you are local to a conflict, then it is your conflict to resolve.
    If it is not in your area, then keep out of it.
    You are operating in war, and as you sow , so shall you reap.
    This can never end, as it is just Karma on top of Karma continuously.

  12. JOHN BROWN SHOULD VOLUNTEER FOR THE NEXT GAZA BOUND FLOTILA AND FIND OUT FOR HIMSELF HOW PEOPLE ARE TREATED BY ISREALI CHRISTAIN HATING ZIONISTS AND WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WHEN UNARMED BOATS IN INTERNATIONAL WATERS ARE BEING ATTACKED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  13. I hope the Australian gov will be including these 1srael atrocities against our citizens in the Royal Commission. This is absolutely unacceptable treatment of the Global Flotilla. Humanity is waking up.

  14. So, is ‘Welcome to Country’ to be replaced by ‘Welcome to the Future, [Zio-style]?
    This seems to be the way things are going with the UnaParty in charge.
