Isn't boarding and taking over a ship in international waters piracy?
For private citizens yes.
If a nations official forces do it. It is an act of war.
Curious to see how the EU and other European countries will respond. One of the people on board is a EU PM.
Besides Greta the boat had people from many other European countries such as France, Spain, Germany and the Netherlands. There are also a Turk and a Brazilian on board.
I really hope the people on board are safe. They don't deserve this.
They will respond politically. And that is all.
The history means every nation in Europe is split to hell on this subject. So what ever action any specific gov takes. Will be the end of that gov. So no gov will have the courage to challenge with anything but diplomacy.
Empty strong condemnations
When Israel does it "it has a right to protect itself" from unarmed civilians bringing food.
Do either Israel or it's enablers care?
Yep
yes, and an act of war.
Israel would claim that the flotilla was providing material assistance to a military enemy, and were a legitimate target
Why is everyone so hands off and permissive with Israel? Like they can do nothing wrong when they go out of their way to do wrong things?
Israel has a huge lobby in most Western countries. And Epstein material on their politicians.
Old colonial power just became neo colonial powers.
Because if you criticise you're called "Anti Semitic"
BS. Those countries doesn't care about being labeled antisemite they are racist toward palestinians
Western countries never face any consequences for their atrocities.
We just need to help god make the book of revelations happen so Jesus can come back!
/s
Greed.

All they had to do was wait until the boat entered Israeli waters to do it legally. Why do it in international waters? Israelis seem to want to break laws just for the sake of showing they dont consider any laws to matter. In some ways they are worse than nazis. They are like perpetually angry butthurt toddlers with weapons.
At no point would the boat enter Israeli waters. Only Palestinian waters.
The illegal Israeli sea blockade is illegal for reason: it is not their water.
They want to make a point that they don't care about international law
You may be right. The whole world is on the brink ,deciding if we will move forward as a global "rule of law" or a global "might makes right" future.

this country is run and heavily populated with most vile criminals ever to exist
when contemplating about what they are capable of, then think of them as the most disgusting mexican drug cartel not a country of law and human decency.

"The tiny amount of aid that was on the yacht and not consumed by the 'celebrities' will be transferred to Gaza through real humanitarian channels," the ministry added.
They will toss the aid to the wood chipper and laugh about it, won't they...
Nah they'll actually dangle the food in front of starving people to draw a crowd and then bomb them.
Fucking monsters.

Israel has a reputation for not even following through on these basic minute propaganda gestures. Because they are comically evil.

Thiago Ávila, a Brazilian activist, was also in that boat and was kidnapped by the Israeli state. That's a crime against humanity.
they have been murdering activists, journalists, doctors, kids, women, pregnant women for decades. israel was founded by slaughtering entire villages and raping little girls to death.
you thinks these vicious scum care an iota about humanity ?
I don't think kidnapped should be in " ", it's an entirely literal act of piracy and terrorism
Israel has decided to grab the attention of some of the people who weren't already outraged. It's a bold more. I hope it works out the way I think it will.
