People of conscience who set out from all corners of the world in the name of human dignity, saying "OUR ROUTE IS GAZA, OUR LOAD IS HUMANITARIAN AID", were attacked by Israeli commandos in international waters while carrying aid supplies to Gaza, which is under embargo, on a ship called Mavi Marmara.
Those who set out to offer hope were cut off… The Blue Resistance, which emerged as a result of the solidarity of the Mavi Marmara volunteers, became an epic. May 31, 2010, became a turning point.
The blood that spilled from the Mavi Marmara into the azure of the Mediterranean has become etched in memory as a document of shame for Israel. Nine volunteers were martyred and 54 injured in an attack launched by Israeli commandos during morning prayers. The world was in uproar…
The Mavi Marmara, eagerly awaited by the oppressed people of Gaza, not only reached Gaza but also succeeded in drawing global public attention to the embargo. This attack, which was "Türkiye's 9/11," as Foreign Minister Davutoğlu put it, also mobilized the masses, sparking a new struggle and a global intifada.
Our Route is Conscience, Our Burden is Compassion…
