Spain and Italy have dispatched naval warships to protect Global Sumud Flotilla

Snip:
Something historic is happening.
For years, Israel has blockaded Gaza — strangling food, medicine, water, and fuel. For years, aid flotillas have tried to break the siege, only to be attacked, boarded, or sunk. And for years, Western governments stood by in silence.
But not today.
Today, Spain and Italy — both NATO members, both EU countries — have dispatched naval warships into the Mediterranean to protect the Global Sumud Flotilla sailing toward Gaza.
