An Israeli settler group has been organizing boat tours for families to view the destruction of Gaza from a safe distance offshore, according to reports.
A disturbing scene from the recent documentary “Holy Redemption: Stealing Palestinian Land” by Turkish broadcaster TRT World shows Israeli settler activists bring families onto boats to tour the bombing of Gaza.
“The purpose of the settlement movement is to get as close as possible to Gaza, to fully observe Gaza, and to understand that from now on, Gaza will be completely Jewish,” Daniella Weiss, head of the far-right Nachala settler movement, declared to the tour group.
They’ve brought their children out in the middle of the night to the sea to watch other children get decimated.

Son Har-Melech, the member of the Knesset from the Jewish Power Party, reportedly said, “If God wills, the Israeli people will win. We will build and witness the settlement of Zion and the settlement of the Israeli people in Gaza.”
The Israeli organizers were seen gloating over the devastation in Gaza due to IDF bombardment while pointing out areas they aimed to take over.
“They themselves chose to say that living with Palestinians was impossible, that Palestinians have to leave Palestine, or that the settlers would have to kill them all,” the TRT journalist claimed.
Over 41,000 Palestinians have been killed and 95,000 wounded in Israeli airstrikes targeting the densely populated enclave since Israel launched counterattacks against Hamas, the de facto Palestinian leadership in Gaza, in response to the Oct. 7, 2023 surprise invasion of Israel that left about 1,200 dead.
The United Nations General Assembly last week voted overwhelmingly to adopt a resolution demanding that Israel “brings to an end without delay its unlawful presence” in the Palestinian territories.
“With a recorded vote of 124 nations in favour, 14 against, and 43 abstentions, the resolution calls for Israel to comply with international law and withdraw its military forces, immediately cease all new settlement activity, evacuate all settlers from occupied land, and dismantle parts of the separation wall it constructed inside the occupied West Bank,” according to a UN press release.
