A pair of Gaza flotilla activists have garnered outrage for filming themselves in keffiyes dancing provocatively with exposed stomachs — while demanding Israel release an accused serial sex predator.

Viral video of the prancing women showed them aboard one of the ships this week near the Greek island of Crete, with Spanish-Korean activist Mi Hoa La wearing a Palestinian flag around her hips.

The flag then unfolds to reveal the words, “Free Saif” and “Free Thiago,” referencing Saif Abu Keshek and Thiago Ávila, who were arrested on suspicion of “illegal activity” when the Israeli Navy intercepted their flotilla last week.

The video was immediately condemned by many on social media who noted the irony of having women be the ones to vouch for Ávila, who has been accused of “sexual misconduct” with three people on the flotillas.

“I would say that dancing provocatively half naked on the flotilla for the male leader accused of sexual misconduct probably isn’t helping either,” wrote Heidi Bachram, whose husband was kidnapped and killed by Hamas, on X.

Emily Schrader, founder of the Founder Iran Israel Alliance, added, “Flotilla activists film themselves dancing sexually, calling for the release of 2 suspects arrested by Israeli security for ties to terror groups.

“I think we should let them into Gaza to perform their pro-Hamas dance. I’m sure it’ll end very well.”

Ávila has previously denied the allegations that he violated ethics by having sex with three volunteers, with the Global Sumud Flotilla standing by him.

Both Ávila of Brazil and Keshek of Spain are accused by Israel of being linked to the Popular Conference for Palestinians Abroad, an organization the US claims is “clandestinely acting on behalf of” the Hamas terror group.

The Brazilian and Spanish governments have accused Israel of effectively “kidnapping” its citizens, slamming the men’s arrest as “unlawful abduction.

“This blatantly illegal action by the Israeli authorities, outside their jurisdiction, constitutes an affront to international law, is subject to adjudication before international courts,” the countries said.

Both Ávila and Keshek remain in prison, where their colleagues claim the men are being “tortured” and “beaten” by Israeli authorities.
