That's kinda disappointing. I didn't expect it to go well but this is just kinda a nothing burger. They had to have known the boat wasn't going to make it.

“Israel has no legal authority to detain international volunteers aboard the Madleen,” said Huwaida Arraf, human rights attorney and Freedom Flotilla organizer.

They are engaged in god damn genocide. You think they give a fuck about the legality of detaining a few europeans? nearly every nation will put you in prison for trying to enter illegally by boat. Australia has a concentration camp on Nauru Island for this exact purpose.

Why don't people get it, non-violent protest has never worked. You aren't running a blockade if you just sit there with your hands up when they stop you. This is theater.

At the very least they could have rigged the boat and bailed when the idf came and claimed that it was the zionists that blew up the boat. This action puts next to no pressure on the entity.

@Commiejones are you stupid or just unable to understand what it means to fight the massive propaganda machine protecting Israel?

You honestly can't be that stupid. Can you?

Easy. Personal attacks are really not needed here. Unlike the vast majority of the world it seems, here, we are mostly all on the same side. It is very possible to keep things civil if we just pause before responding, and remember we're all real people here in what seems like an impossible situation. Out of the box thinking is needed to resolve situations like that, and when you're thinking outside of the box you're going to have more misses than hits.

Most of us pride ourselves on this being a more civil place than 'the other site'. Let's all keep working to keep it that way please.

@hyacin

Fuck those who still try to whitewash genocide

I'm sorry, are we talking about the same comment? The one you replied to, which I replied to your reply to, wasn't "whitewashing genocide" as far as I can see? It was pointing out that the people engaging in genocide aren't going to have any hesitation to seize a boat of civilians in international waters, and suggested that said civilians should have perhaps rigged the boat to explode after they were captured so they could blame it on the genocidal maniacs.

Are we talking about the same post here?
