Malaysia: Officials Confirm Israel Taken to ICJ Over “Torture” of Gaza Flotilla Activists! (30.8.2026)

Malaysia’s planned legal action is the latest in a series of international responses condemning Israel’s seizure of the flotilla in international waters, an act many legal experts, rights groups and governments have described as unlawful.

The flotilla had been attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, where Israel has maintained a devastating military assault and blockade since 2023, severely restricting the entry of food, water, medicine and electricity.

Videos posted online last week showed Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir overseeing the abuse of activists, sparking global outrage.

Palestine: Israeli Fascist – “Itamar Ben Gvir” – Remains “On Message” Despite ICC Arrest Warrant Threat! (28.5.2025)

His remarks followed a report published earlier on Wednesday by The Wall Street Journal, which stated that ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan is preparing arrest warrants for Ben Gvir and Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich over their roles in expanding Israeli settlements in the West Bank — activity considered illegal under international law. Both ministers are known for their hardline views and support for accelerating the illegal colonies in occupied Palestinian territories, drawing widespread condemnation from the international community.

ISM: Urgent Call from Palestinian Prisoner Families! (8.2.2024)

Palestinian prisoners held by Israel have experienced brutal beatings, strip searches, threats of sexual assaults, denial of freedom to worship, pray and recite the Qur’an, deprivation of medical care, overcrowding, the reduction of already poor nutrition meals, starvation, the cutting of water and electricity, denial of warm clothes, and the deprivation of visits from family members, legal representatives, and humanitarian groups. Gaza prisoners face all these in addition to continuous torture where other prisoners hear their heart breaking screaming day and night. Some prisoners are missing and it is unknown if they are even still alive.

“While the world focuses on 136 Israelis held in Gaza they ignore 7,000 Palestinians held and abused by Israel. This discrimination is a grave injustice.” The ISM is passing the call of the families to you: “For all the free people, be the light of the prisoners’ darkness and their loud voice in all forums, they are addressing your consciences from the borders and edges of death.”
