New Gaza-bound boat leaves Italy carrying symbolic aid
[X] Symbolic aid doesn't sound very filling.
You’d think they’d get tired of embarrassing themselves while failing in their stated mission, but they’re definitely in the “No publicity is bad publicity” camp.
A Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
-bound boat carrying pro-Paleostinian activists and humanitarian aid left Sicily on Sunday, over a month after Israel detained and deported people aboard a previous vessel.

The Handala, operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, left the port of Syracuse shortly after 12:00 pm (1000 GMT), an AFP journalist saw, carrying about fifteen activists.

Several dozen people, some holding Paleostinian flags and others wearing keffiyeh scarves, gathered at the port to cheer the boat's departure with cries of "Free Paleostine".

The former Norwegian trawler - loaded with medical supplies, food, children's equipment and medicine
… the tradition for that crowd is that the supplies are expired, but they mean well in a symbolic kind of way that doesn’t help their targets at all..
- will sail for about a week in the Mediterranean, covering roughly 1,800 kilometres (1,120 miles), in the hope of reaching Gaza's coast.

In early March, Israel imposed a total aid blockade on Gaza amid an impasse in truce negotiations, only partially easing restrictions in late May.

The boat will make a stop at Gallipoli, in southeastern Italia, where two members of the left-wing La Belle France Unbowed party (LFI) are expected to join.

The initiative comes six weeks after the departure of the Madleen, another ship that left Italia for Gaza transporting aid and activists, including Greta "Pippi" Thunberg
...an autistic sixteen year old Swedish expert on climate change, though I guess she's older now...
Israel authorities intercepted the Madleen about 185 kilometres west of Gaza's coast.

"This is a mission for the children in Gaza, to break the humanitarian blockade and to break the summer silence on the genocide," said Gabrielle Cathala, one of the two La Belle France Unbowed party members set to board the boat on 18 July.

"I hope we will reach Gaza but if not, it will be yet another violation of international law" by Israel, she added.

France: LGBTQ Activist Accused of Running Darknet Pedophile Ring
[BREITBART] A far-left LGBTQ activist in France is alleged to have been at the heart of an underground pedophile network that drugged and raped children as young as three years old.

Pierre-Alain Cottineau, a former candidate for the far-left La France Insoumise (LFI/France in Rebellion) party during the 2021 regional elections and a former head of an LGBTQ activist group, faces accusations of orchestrating a darknet child rape network.

French newspaper Le Parisien reported having obtained internal communications as well as video footage from Cottineau's group, which the paper described as being ''unbearably violent'' and nausea-inducing.

This included footage of a young boy of two or three years old on a leash being anally raped by a group of men in an ''awful orgy''.

The case was initially opened after Dutch police discovered footage of a young girl, likely three or four years old, calling out in French for her mother as a man was anally raping her. Adding to the ''horror'' of the footage, the young girl appeared to suffer from a disability, forcing her to have a gastric tube.

A screenshot of the victim's face was passed to France's Juvenile Office (OFMIN), which specialises in cases dealing with violence against children. A nursery school manager in Couffe said that she knew the identity of the child, a disabled girl who previously was in the care of social services but was later placed in the care of Pierre-Alain Cottineau, who had a daughter in the same class as the girl.

Cottineau was given custody of the girl after a sixty-hour training course and a criminal background check, which apparently did not raise any red flags.

After he was identified as a potential suspect by French police, the far-left activist fled the country to Tunisia, supposedly on vacation; however, according to Le Parisien, the trip appeared to have been ''rushed'', indicating that he may have been tipped off about the investigation.

However, upon the request of the French security services, Cottineau agreed to return to France in September of last year and was indicted for rape and ''torture or barbarism'', a charge typically withheld for the most heinous of crimes.

The report from Le Parisien claimed that alleged co-conspirators, arrested in February, had disclosed to the police that they had seen Cottineau crushing up the tranquillising drug Xanax into yogurt intended for the alleged boy victim.

The paper also claimed to have obtained chat messages from the Darnket group, in which Cottineau is said to have declared, ''I have children available''.

Additionally, Le Parisien claimed that Cottineau's mother told police that when he was 15 years old, after revealing his homosexuality, he had been found to have allegedly sexually assaulted a four-year-old in the care of his family. His mother reportedly informed child protection services; however, it appears that no action was taken and it seemingly did not come up as a red flag when he was given custody of the young disabled girl.

Report: ICE Arrests 30K Illegals in June, the Most in at Least Half a Decade
[BREITBART] Some 30,000 illegal aliens were arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in June, the most illegals arrested by the agency in at least half a decade, when monthly figures were first made public, a new report states.

The ICE data, obtained by NBC News, found that in June, about 30,000 illegal aliens were arrested by ICE. This is a slight uptick from May, when about 24,000 illegal aliens were arrested by ICE.

The report from NBC News also includes removal and deportation figures, but does not distinguish between the two.

According to the ICE data, more than 18,000 illegal aliens were either deported by ICE agents from the interior of the United States or returned to their home countries by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents while attempting to cross into the United States.

The number of all-important deportations from the interior of the United States is still unknown, as DHS officials say more than 253,000 illegal aliens have been either removed or deported — also not distinguishing between ICE deportations and CBP removals.

ICE agents, thanks to the Trump administration, will get a huge funding boost now that Congress approved the Big Beautiful Bill, which includes $45 billion for more detention space for illegal aliens and nearly $30 billion for ICE to hire more deportation agents.
