The attack on the Freedom Flotilla vessel Conscience on May 2, 2025, was not just an act of military aggression—it was a calculated move by a settler-colonial state to punish and criminalize international solidarity. As Israel bombed a civilian humanitarian ship in international waters, it sent a clear message: resistance will be met with violence, and care will be met with coercion.
We reject this message in full.
At the root of this violence is a global system that prioritizes capital, empire, and domination over life, dignity, and self-determination. Palestine is not an isolated case. The siege on Gaza is a front line in the broader war against the poor, the colonized, the displaced, and the defiant. Whether it's the occupation of Palestine, the surveillance of Black neighborhoods in the U.S., or the exploitation of workers across the Global South, we are witnessing the coordinated logic of repression under late capitalism.
We say: No more.
No more silence when bombs fall on the hungry.
No more censorship when communities organize for life over profit.
No more criminalization of care, aid, and internationalism.
In solidarity we amplify the call to action from PAL COMMISSION ON WAR CRIMES, JUSTICE, REPARATIONS, AND RETURN:
We call on all States, Diplomats, Government Officials, Party Representatives, Regional Unions, UN Agencies, the UNSG, and international institutions to immediately:
1.Contact Maltese Government Officials and Demand that Malta abide by its legal obligations and grant safe harbor and physical protection to the ship Conscience until it is fully repaired or safely towed- as per its legal obligations noted above;
2. Request Your Government Dispatch diplomatic observers and offer escort to the Flotilla, in fulfillment of your State’s duty to prevent genocide and protect humanitarian aid under the Genocide Convention and the Rome Statute;
3. Now is the Most Critical Time to Demand the Launch of State- and diplomat-escorted humanitarian corridors to Gaza, using your sovereign authority to protect aid convoys under international law.
To Global Civil Society:
We urge all civil society organizations, labor unions, legal networks, student groups, journalists, and human rights defenders to:
1. Immediately contact the Government of Malta, by phone, email, and fax—including the Office of the Prime Minister, Ministry for Foreign and European Affairs, and Armed Forces of Malta to demand that Malta grant safe harbor to the ship Conscience and refuse complicity in war crimes;
2. Contact your government to send diplomatic observers to the waters near the Ship Conscience;
3. Mobilize public campaigns, protests and open letters in solidarity with the Conscience and the broader
demand for Diplomat and State escorted aid corridors to Gaza;
4. Organize protective delegations, media presence, and legal observers to the area of the Ship to monitor and deter further acts of violence or obstruction.
We are building this campaign to activate the political and moral will of people across the world. Our goal is not charity—it is liberation. We know that true solidarity is not transactional. It is grounded in shared struggle and rooted in the understanding that none of us are free until all of us are.
The ruling class and its imperial enforcers rely on isolation to maintain control. But we are many, and we are connected. From Gaza to Atlanta, from South Africa to Oakland, our movements are rising. We are resisting fragmentation and reclaiming our power through collective action.
No More Suppressed Solidarity is a call to disrupt empire’s chokehold on our imagination, our care, and our coordination. We are refusing to stand down. We are choosing to stand together.
Join us. Take action. Lift your voice. The blockade must end—and our solidarity must never be silenced.
We the undersigned,
