    I didn’t know that Israel is just casually pirating away in international waters. Weird how that’s not ok when somalians do it.

      They said from the beginning that they were only there to rescue anyone should they end up in the ocean. Not to protect the aid boats.

      The fact that they openly said that tells you all you need to know about thier governments.

          For once, it doesn’t have to be blackmail. The Zionists have Uncle Sam. Relations between the EU and the US are already not the strongest they’ve been. Risking the ire of a large power like that is not exactly smart diplomacy.

          Would it have been the right thing to do? Absolutely.

      Being there likely saved Gretta from getting merc’d by an IDF sniper.

      They’re not doing enough, but they’re also not doing nothing.

        they did absolutely nothing, stopped following then when they reach the orange line, which is not gazan or Israeli territorial waters, but the heart of the Mediterranean where Israel likes to attack civilians.

        Reading the Bible, I don’t know how you’d come to any other conclusion but that God is a Monster.

        The Epicurian Paradox. God claims to be omnipresent, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent. But the mere existence of evil overwhelmingly disproves this claim:

        1. If god is able and willing to stop evil, but evil is able to hide from/fool god, god cannot be omnipresent.
        2. If god is able to find all evil and willing to stop it, but unable to do so, god cannot be omnipotent.
        3. If god is able to find evil and stop it, but unwilling to do so, god cannot be omnibenevolent.

        In any of the three cases, if evil exists, god has been proven a liar in at least one of the three claims. Potentially two, or even all three. But at least one must be true if evil exists. And if at least one is true and god is a liar, why are we following him?

        I also agree with this. Sure if one day something does show up, we can change our minds then. I’m sure the evil phuck would understand.

      Gaza is under a siege designed to oppress and break the population so that they can’t fight back, israel forces control everything that goes in and use it as a tool to displace people.

      Why can’t they just let Gretta win?

      I mean… They did, didn’t they? It was never the goal to actually get there. The goal was obviously media attention (again) and we are now commenting under a news article…

      Its just a few truck loads of food.

      That’s the point… Why let a few influencers enter a war zone with the risk of them getting killed when they could instead easily let a few trucks waiting in front of the boarder enter Gaza?

        Yeah, why doesn’t Israel just let the trucks waiting at the border in? I wager it is the same reason they stopped the flotilla.

      Strike called in Italy, protests flare over interception of Gaza aid ships

      Italian unions called a general strike for Friday in solidarity with the international aid flotilla for Gaza, while protests sprang up in a number of cities late on Wednesday after reports that the ships had been intercepted by military personnel. In the southern city of Naples, demonstrators got into the main railway station and halted train traffic, while police surrounded the Termini railway station in Rome after protesters gathered close to entrances.

      In the northwestern city of Genoa, the USB announced that it intended to block the port and called on all protesters to gather at 10 p.m. (2000 GMT) at one of the main entrances. Over the past two weeks, protesting Italian dockworkers have prevented various ships from docking and loading, targeting vessels they say were involved in trade with Israel.

    So much for all those ships sent to protect it. So much performative theater.
