We were going to try to fulfill our promise to the Palestinians to do all in our power to try to break the total blockade on aid to Gaza.<br>[...]<br>There is rather much chaos here right now. Ship to Gaza and Freedom Flotilla have been trying to send 35 boats to break Israel's illegal blockade of Gaza. Previously Israel stopped almost every boat, so we suspect either Israel or allies are behind this attack.<br>[...]<br>The boat cannot currently travel because then it will sink, due to the hole in the hull caused by the attacks.<br>[...]<br>All human rights activists here will continue to try to fulfill the promise we made to the Palestinians to do everything we can to hold war criminals accountable and end our governments' complicity in genocide.<br>─────</p><p>Pic 1+2: attacked ship's hull after the attack.<br>Pic 3: Greta on Malta with Jeanette Escanilla from Ship to Gaza Sweden</p>

AdamD<p>Last night, a friend organised a nighttime bike ride on the ice road to the neighbouring village of Dettah. It's about 6.5km across the frozen bay. It was quite slippery on the glare ice, even with studded tires, so we went at a leisurely pace and chatted away. When we got to Dettah, as if on cue, the <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/aurora" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>aurora</span></a> erupted into a dancing, swirling riot of colour. It was one of the best shows I've ever seen, which I hope comes across in these low res. photos. We stood enrapt in our bike helmets, or lay back on the ice to save our craning necks until it settled down into a placid glow in the distance before biking back to town.<br><a href="https://mountains.social/tags/yellowknife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>yellowknife</span></a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/nwt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nwt</span></a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/northernlights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>northernlights</span></a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/winter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>winter</span></a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/BikeTooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BikeTooter</span></a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/winterbiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>winterbiking</span></a></p>
