He also describes the brutal behavior of the Israeli authorities. But the conversation is not only focused on Israel or Gaza.

On the contrary, he says that at a time when wars are being consumed on social networks, the obligation of the world to pay attention to them may be in itself a political achievement.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"margin:30px 0\">\n<p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#666\">Source: <strong>prizrenpost<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last year, the activists of the &#8220;Global Sumud Flotilla&#8221; managed to get very close to the shores of Gaza before being intercepted.
