Free Gaza Flotilla
Don’t hang up
Keep talking
Three boats approaching
helicopters hovering
Stay on the line
I am Tweeting
They’re getting closer
… they’re firing
Are you all OK?
Any one wounded?
We are being boarded
I am typing
78 miles from shore
In international waters
This can’t be happening!
Please keep talking
This is pira …

Your breaking up …
What’s happening?

More people are reading rabble.ca than ever and unlike many news organizations, we have never put up a paywall – at rabble we’ve always believed in making our reporting and analysis free to all, while striving to make it sustainable as well. Media isn’t free to produce. rabble’s total budget is likely less than what big corporate media spend on photocopying (we kid you not!) and we do not have any major foundation, sponsor or angel investor. Our main supporters are people and organizations -- like you. This is why we need your help. You are what keep us sustainable.
