U.S. Citizens Released from Israeli Prison Today Describe Brutal Abuse


U.S. citizens released from the brutal Israeli prison and bussed to Jordan for departure.

"I was in a cage with 57 other women, and someone really, really needed a medic -- we were there for hours, and we said, 'medic, medic, medic,' and a guard came and said, 'If you keep asking for a medic we are going to gas you."

Carsie Blanton, released from an Israeli prison, arrived in New York on Wednesday, Oct. 8.

"I'm a Jewish American, and in Israeli detention, I was really treated like scum, in the way you read about in the holocaust."

"We have to try and understand it, to end the occupation and the genocide."
The way they were dehumanized, she said she can not imagine what it is like to be a Palestinian in detention.

Carsie was among 24 U.S. citizens imprisoned for nearly a week in Israel's torture prison, Ktzi'ot, in the Negev desert. They were illegally kidnapped on international waters aboard the Sumud Global Flotilla while bringing humanitarian aid to Gaza.

U.S. citizens describe being beaten and abused in prison, upon arrival in Jordan today.

By Brenda Norrell, Oct. 7, 2025

U.S. citizens on the Global Sumud Flotilla described being beaten and abused in prison, upon arrival in Jordan today. Jordan arranged the bus transport that took them to the airport in Jordan after five days of abuse in Israel's torture prison. U.S. citizens said they were abandoned and left to rot by their government.

Speaking now from the airport in Jordan, Tommy Marcus said the flotilla was violently and illegally raided by Israeli Naval forces, while carrying aid to the starving people of Gaza. Their boats and belongings were all stolen.

"We were zip-tied, brutalized and blindfolded on route to an Israeli internment camp in the Negev desert."

Mohawk Nation News 'Most Magnificent Mother'

MOST MAGNIFICENT MOTHER

 

MNN. MOST MAGNIFICENT MOTHER. Oct. 4. 2025.

There are boardrooms in the high towers of Manhattan with men sitting around tables scheming on overpowering the ordinary people of the world. They think they are in total control of humanity. They say, “We own and run the world. We will determine what is going to happen to the natural world, the trees, mountains, minerals, resources, oil, gas, water, everything!” They will pocket trillions of dollars. This is culminating in the takeover of the human race and the earth by a small cabal of would-be world rulers. 

In the far North of onowarekeh [Canada] lying under the ground is gold, diamonds, silver, precious medals, etc. The oligrarch of the US and Canada are from the same European bloodlines. They dig this up without indigenous and creation’s permission. They are filthy rich and a little goes to the real workers. Their followers are ruled by them with eyes that cannot see beyond the dollars. The people of the world are becoming poorer because they are gaining control through using an artificial system/corporatism to create an artificial reality.
