50 people on board the Louise Michel
Yesterday our crew were made aware of a boat in distress via the emergency hotline AlarmPhone.
Late last night all 50 people from a wooden double decker boat were able to safely come on board the Louise Michel.
After over a day at sea everyone on board the vessel is exhausted with some needing to be treated by our medical staff.
We are now on route to our asigend port of safety in Sicily.
No one should be forced to get into unseaworthy boats in search of safety.
Freedom of movement for all!

Scripture Reading
Romans 12:1-2
I appeal to you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Good morning everyone, TGIF!☕
Wishing you a fantastic Friday.
Pray for those among us who are ill or in distress.🙏
Take good care of yourselves.
Be alert, be healthy, and be free.

God our Father,
you made Saint Benedict an outstanding guide
to teach men how to live in your service.
Grant that by preferring your love to everything else,
we may walk in the way of your commandments.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

May the Lord bless us, protect us from all evil, and bring us to everlasting life.
Amen.

🚨 "Israël veut bâtir le camp de concentration le plus moral au monde"
C’est le titre choc d’un éditorial provocateur du journal israélien Haaretz.com, en référence au slogan souvent repris selon lequel #Tsahal serait « l’armée la plus morale du monde » — un concept difficile à concilier avec les massacres de civils.
🔥 Mais derrière cette provocation se cache une réalité insupportable.
➡️ #Israël planifie la création d’un « camp humanitaire » à #Rafah, dans la bande de #Gaza.
Le but ?
🔹 Y regrouper des centaines de milliers de Palestiniens
🔹 Dans une zone strictement contrôlée
🔹 Avec des frontières fermées et sans libre circulation
➡️ Présentée comme une initiative "humanitaire" — voire "morale" — cette opération est, selon #Haaretz, en réalité assimilable à un camp de concentration moderne.
🔹 L’objectif réel est de pousser les habitants de Gaza à partir, en les enfermant dans des conditions de vie encore plus insupportables.
🔹 Cette stratégie s’inscrit dans un processus de déportation déguisée, qualifiée hypocritement de « départ volontaire ».
🔹 Orwell n’aurait pas dit mieux...
🔹 L’idée sordide est de rendre la vie invivable pour forcer à l’exil.
🔹 C’est, très exactement, une opération de nettoyage ethnique.
🔥 C’est une faillite morale sans précédent.
🔹 Sous couvert de bienveillance, se prépare une déportation massive et une ingénierie démographique en totale contradiction avec le droit international humanitaire.
🔹 C’est aussi une trahison des valeurs juives fondamentales.
🔹 C’est une insulte à la mémoire de tous les Juifs qui ont souffert la Shoah.
🔹 Ce serait, selon les mots de l’avocat israélien Michael Sfard, un nouveau crime contre l’humanité.
🔹 La mise en œuvre de ce projet — déjà en cours — signerait la destruction morale d’Israël sur la scène internationale, faisant de lui l’incarnation d’un État raciste, d’apartheid et criminel.
🔥 Cette faillite morale touche aussi l’ensemble de l’Occident :
🔹 Les #États-Unis — #Biden, #Trump, démocrates ou républicains, même posture — non seulement ferment les yeux, mais soutiennent logistiquement et politiquement ce nettoyage ethnique.
🔹 L’Union européenne, et en particulier #Ursula #vonderLeyen à Bruxelles, oscille entre un silence gêné et une complicité tacite.
➡️ Il aurait suffi à certains d’assister au sommet des #BRICS à Rio, ou simplement de voyager dans les pays du Sud global, pour comprendre à quel point l’Occident a perdu de sa légitimité morale.
La cause palestinienne y est devenue un puissant facteur d’unité et de mobilisation.
La perception de qui défend le "bien" et où est le "camp de la morale" est en train de basculer à un niveau global.
