“We are sailing to Cuba, bringing critical humanitarian aid for its people,” the flotilla organizers said on their website. “The Trump administration is strangling the island, cutting off fuel, flights, and critical supplies for survival. The consequences are lethal, for newborns and parents, for the elderly and the sick.”

“That is why we are launching the Nuestra América Flotilla, setting sail from across the Caribbean Sea in solidarity with the Cuban people,” the organizers continued. “And we are asking for your support, to help us prepare the mission and purchase the food and medicine that we will bring to the Cuban people.”

    These flotillas never deliver anything, it’s a way to get rubes to fund rich brats yacht holidays through performative art.

      I personally know people who were organizing the gaza flotilla and can confidently say that this idiot is wrong. People dont let themselves get arrested and tortured by the IDF for fun.
