Vietnamese Flotilla participant Tieu Ngoc Ashley describes how the interception of our fleet has only motivated her more to stay the course to Gaza.
The granddaughter of a survivor of the US war on Vietnam, Ashley speaks about growing up amidst the legacy of US imperial brutality, and how the perseverance of her people gives her the will to put her body on the line for a free Palestine.
“When the US came and tried to occupy Vietnam, their plan was to fight a quick fight, a quick war, and then … topple us and leave. It lasted 20 years plus. And we won. So for me, I feel like I have the historical, the empirical, and even ancestral evidences that Palestine will be free. And that allows me to be here and fight harder.”
