‘Game of Thrones’ star, activists denounce Gaza blockade at Barcelona flotilla launch

At a Barcelona news conference on Sunday, Game of Thrones actor Liam Cunningham fought back tears recalling a young girl in Gaza who was killed just days after recording a funeral song for herself. Brazilian activist Thiago Avila denounced what he called a system enabling genocide, while Yasemin Acar, a German activist previously detained and deported by Israel for trying to deliver humanitarian aid questioned why governments have failed to lift the blockade. The speakers urged international action as boats were prepared to deliver humanitarian supplies to Gaza. The Global Sumud Flotilla is set to sail with participants from dozens of countries despite Israel’s long-standing naval restrictions.
