In recent days, international media – including many in the Western world – have been frantically trying to portray the so-called “Sumud Flotilla” as a humanitarian initiative organized by “individuals of conscience” from around the globe. In reality, it is a project orchestrated by the global franchise of the mega-terror outfit Hamas.

The Arabic word Sumud (صمود) means “steadfastness” or “resistance” – a term frequently used to glorify violent “resistance” and justify terrorism perpetrated by Hamas and other Palestinian jihadist organizations. For much of the international media, disguising such agendas under moral or humanitarian pretexts is nothing new. The world saw this deception two years ago, on October 7, 2023, when Hamas turned atrocity into spectacle.

On that dark day, members of Hamas livestreamed their brutality – broadcasting rape, torture, and murder – transforming social media into a weapon of psychological warfare. This was not only barbarity; it was calculated terror aimed at breaking Israeli morale and forcing political concessions. Even more disturbing was the insistence by some Western platforms and “human rights” groups that this content be allowed under the guise of “context” or “news”. Such arguments test the integrity of liberal democracies: platform policies and human-rights rhetoric must not become tools to normalize or amplify mass criminality.

Today, the same Western platforms are again amplifying Hamas propaganda – granting massive publicity to the “Sumud Flotilla” and portraying its participants as noble activists. At the same time, social media giants such as Meta (formerly Facebook) routinely censor or ban posts condemning Hamas’s atrocities, claiming “community standard violations”. Even photographs documenting the group’s barbaric acts are being scrubbed from search engines.

Behind this coordinated narrative lies a multi-million-dollar propaganda industry financed by Hamas sympathizers, with Iran and Qatar serving as principal patrons. These states are not only financing and facilitating Hamas’s terror operations but are also promoting anti-Israel and anti-Western narratives through protests and agitation in Western capitals. Their hidden agenda is sinister: to incite public anger, destabilize Western societies, and ultimately sow the seeds of internal conflict.

They understand that the United States, with its 450 million privately owned guns and countless unregistered assault weapons, is particularly vulnerable. America’s
