Ramiro Giganti is one of the 11 members of the Argentine delegation, but he has been following the Palestinian cause for over twenty years. He covered Operation Cast Lead against Gaza in 2008 from Argentina, when war crimes similar to attacks with white phosphorus and cluster bombs on children were committed in both Lebanon and Gaza. "The flotilla saves me, because the last two and a half years have become unbearable: who can live in peace with this truth?"
07.10.2025: March in Buenos Aires for Palestine Ramiro Giganti is a comrade in solidarity, primarily dedicated to journalism within ANRed. "I don't know how much difference or how much my grain of sand will contribute, but I think it is urgent to bring help to the people of Gaza. He is heading to Barcelona and, from there, to Gaza."
Why does he risk it? "What the flotilla is carrying is help against the crime against humanity and the genocide that has been committed and continues to be committed in Gaza," he says. He is one of the 11 Argentines who will travel on the 100 ships that will set sail for Gazan territory, with the aim of providing aid, covering, and bearing witness to what is happening there.
"But those events, which seemed exceptional, have been happening much more frequently for the last two and a half years," says Giganti. "The land that Zionism turned into ash in the Gaza Strip is an example of the plan for a Greater Israel, which the current government led by Netanyahu is aiming for, in explicit complicity with Trump."
Giganti is the owner of a consciousness supported by information, figures, names, and verified data that make him a lucid witness to the mission. "I have been following the Palestinian cause for at least 20 years," he says. "What scares me the most is to live in peace with what is happening." His departure means having two fewer hands, and taking with him a memory of struggles and alliances in the popular field.
"I don't know how much difference or how much my grain of sand will contribute, but I think it is urgent to contribute it, and not only for the humanitarian aid we can bring to the people of Gaza, but also this trip is a way to save oneself. I could not stay here knowing what is happening," he says.
"Because we believe that while the world suffers brutal adjustments, wars, massacres, there is a group, about 100 vessels, almost a thousand people, who are going to be in a humanitarian cause. Because as he stated two days before leaving: 'What hurts the most is indifference and silence.' We will accompany and assist him throughout the coverage."
His decision to embark in that direction ratifies the actions that Giganti carried out over two decades. Especially currently, where the world has stopped looking at Gaza to focus its attention on the conflict between Iran and Israel. To embark next Sunday, April 12, heading to the Gaza Strip. He has written about the violations of agreements perpetrated by the State of Israel, denounced war crimes.
And, as Rodolfo Walsh said, to bear witness in difficult times. "The Palestinian resistance has been decimated. It says a few days before embarking for Barcelona. Ramiro Giganti says goodbye at Ezeiza. With his decision, he consecrates one of the maxims of community and popular communication: to communicate in territory, as a witness-agent of history."
"I come from Indymedia, making a follow-up of Israel's attacks on Lebanon in 2006. There he will join among almost a thousand crew members, one of the 100 ships that will set sail for Gaza in the Global Sumud Flotilla, next April 12. His return, scheduled for late May, will be celebrated."
"I don't know who I will go with on the boat, but it is with the people I want to be with, who are doing the same as me. The one who speaks is Ramiro Giganti, journalist from ANRed. The Zionist entity has weakened the population and occupied Palestine, advancing over all the territory of the West Bank."
In addition to his journalistic action, Giganti is an active member of the Argentine Committee of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, and militates in Weaving Solidarity with Gaza. Working with the history of the Middle East, dissecting predatory interest and political power, of creeds and customs, of lies and false narratives.
"I am Ramiro Giganti, from the Red Acción News Agency. I go where I think I should be. And why everything: even one's own life? For the communication collective, this also translates into us being left without his daily power, always available for the service of popular, community and alternative information and communication."
