Illegal? No, most countries arrest people on grounds of probable cause. In this case, Israel can just cite that they arrested this crew for national security reasons, which is technically legal. During their arrest they'll determine whether or not they want to file charges against them. If they do then they'll proceed to a trail, otherwise they'll be released.
They didn't find any arms and was arrested outside of israeli terroritory. It is illegal in fact the whole blockade is illegal. It is so disgusting that you defend an occupying force https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjerjzxlpvdo.amp
I'm not defending it, I'm just pointing that the detainment of this point and it's crew is technically legal. Agreeing or disagreeing with is irrelevant to the point.
Yoy are spreading the propaganda of security concerns that israel always use. They even use it to justify the 3 months of new aid entering gaza. You know very well that there is zero arms and no security concerns
That's not where the security concern comes from. If they allow this boat to land then that means their blockade isn't perfect, and there are cracks to exploit, and you can be sure that these cracks will be exploited. Also, more importantly, if they actually step foot in Gaza, there's a very high chance they'll either get killed or be taken as hostages. That will cause another round international outrage that Israel would rather avoid. It's much simpler to intercept them and send them back to their countries after contacting their countries respective embassies.
It's the occupied who should have security concerns not the occupied who been ignoring international laws for decade. Like i already said the blockade is illegal.
Whatever the activists risk their life or not is none of israel business
You really think you are smart and claim not to defend israel but everything you type show that you are a liar. At least go to one or two posts about israeli crimes and condemn them if you expect to fool us
No, I'm just giving you proper context. People like you are so dishonest because you're willing to believe and spread misinformation if it confirms your biases and you accuse anything that doesn't as being supportive of the opposite, and that's just not true.
Israel's blockade of Gaza is illegal under international law, but the interception and detainment of these activists is not illegal under Israeli law, which is the legal framework that matters here.
