Where are the #FreeTheHostages people now?

Don't they have empathy for the kidnapped volunteers of #FreedomFlotilla?

Does anyone care about their safety and well being?

Honestly a pretty good outcome so far from their nonviolent action.

Well done.

@frightful_hobgoblin exactly.

Israel demanding that they sign an illegal deportation order,

Even though they were kidnapped on international waters and being held hostage inside Israel.

This is outrageous and sadly not many politicians seem to care protesting it and calling for Israel to be held accountable

Calling out hypocrisy is a fools errand

I agree, but their journey has been a lot more influential than your average protest (we need both).

Funny thing, no one in Turkey is covering how they raided freedom flotilla in international waters. Turkey is as pro Israel as UK, France and America

The "free the hostages folks" are usually anti-zionist. And, yeah, they want these hostages free, and the majority of the hostages are Palestinians

Sorry, seems like you have 0 clue what you're talking about, so I'll fill you in.

"Free the hostages" was the tagline used by Zionists and Zionist sympathizers following October 7th, because HAMAS took multiple Israeli citizens hostage.

It has nothing to do with freeing the Palestinians.
