Israeli soldiers have boarded the Alma vessel, Middle East Eye can report. Alma is a the lead vessel of the Sumud Flotilla. Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in the Palestinian Territories, told MEE.

Albanese said the interception is unlawful under two basic premises. Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip is illegal under international law, Albanese said, adding, "it makes no sense whatsoever."

The flotilla is roughly 80 nautical miles from the coast of Gaza. Territorial waters extend for maximum 12 nautical miles.

I just don't understand this. Try try try again, announcing it's location each time with no expectation it will ever work. This country kills foreign journalists and the world turns a blind eye. This will eventually end with them dead, and there isn't jack shit that will be done about it. Israel somehow has the world by the balls.

it's the ruling class and their profits; it all goes to show how much control they have over the entire western world and it's reflected on our side by people using reddit, facebook, twitter, .world, etc.
