“Zionists Have Free Reign Over The Whole Of The European Basin”
Flotilla activist Fra Hughes on his experiences being targeted by Israel’s military
As the Irish activist Fra Hughes disembarked in Istanbul after being tortured in Israeli detention, he said to officials welcoming him: “We have just experienced a small piece of what Palestinian prisoners go through every day. You must do something to end this.”
Today there are 9,000+ Palestinians being tortured in Israeli prisons. Hundreds of them are children.
What has Hughes been doing besides trying to break the blockade of Gaza? Stay tuned until the end of the interview to hear about his group’s humanitarian relief efforts. (Here’s a Facebook link to Fra’s mutual aid organization, Palestine Aid Ireland.)
What can the rest of us do? His answer is a paraphrase of Irish hunger striker Bobby Sands: There is no job too big or too small and no one too young or too old to play a part in the struggle.
Last words from Hughes:
My politics is anti-imperialist, it’s anti-colonial, it’s anti-capitalist, and it’s anti-fascist. And if you’re any of those things, you must oppose colonization. You must oppose the EU, NATO, North American Five Eyes, military adventurism.
I mean, imperialism is just the military outworkings of capitalism, the globalists and the corporations that want to take the wealth resources from another country. I mean, they want to destroy Russia. They want to Balkanize it. They want to turn it into nine countries because they think every dollar in the bank account of a Russian oligarch should be in the bank account of an American or European oligarch. So it’s all just about greed and theft and avarice and immorality.
And we know about Epstein. We know about the blackmail. We know about the corruption in politics. We know about just the complete morass that western politics is in. So there’s a couple of things.
If you want to see a change in the world, be that change that you want to see.
