On 31 May 2010 Zoabi participated in the Gaza flotilla.[11] She was on board the MV Mavi Marmara where violence broke out when Israeli commandos boarded the ship with intention of redirecting it to the port of Ashdod.[12] In a speech at the Knesset, Zoabi describing the raid as a “pirate military operation.”[13] During her speech, she was repeatedly interrupted by the other Israeli lawmakers, who furiously shouted “Go to Gaza, traitor”! During her address she said: “Israel spoke of a provocation, but there was no provocation. Why does the government of Israel oppose an investigation?” Later in a press conference she elaborated: “It was clear from the size of the force that boarded the ship that the purpose was not only to stop this sail[ing], but to cause the largest possible number of fatalities in order to stop such initiatives in the future.”[14]

Two security guards were assigned for her protection after she received death threats. (source)
