Thunberg and crew are heroes in my eyes. No doubt a very extreme form of political protest, obviously they knew the outcome here. Even they couldn't predict blatant piracy. Hope she is returned safely...
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.
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
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.
For Germany: Israel is an indulgence for the Holocaust.
For the USA: Israel is an unsinkable aircraft carrier in a largely hostile region that is protected by international law.
For the rest of Western Europe: They are vassals of the US, so naturally they don’t want to piss of their daddy.
For everyone else: they don’t want to provoke the US either.
it should be fairly obvious to everyone by now. Israel is an extension of the US, their unsinkable aircraft carrier in the middle east, or as Biden put it "if israel didn't exists, we would have to invent it to protect our interests in the region."
also it's fairly obvious that the "rules based order" is nothing more than a "might makes right order" enforced by the US.
manufactured consent and capitalist profit. it’s a cult.
Western countries never face any consequences for their atrocities.
"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...
Quite a thing to create the world's most dire need for humanitarian aid in the history of the species and then criticize any aid as tiny in comparison to the need you've manufactured
Israel has a reputation for not even following through on these basic minute propaganda gestures. Because they are comically evil.
Nah they'll actually dangle the food in front of starving people to draw a crowd and then bomb them.
Fucking monsters.
Nah, they will give it to their ISIS aligned collaborators and then shoot anyone/bomb anyone else who goes near it.
They will then destroy Hamas. Once Hamas is destroyed, they will demand that the new group be destroyed before the war can end. They will then fund a third group to distribute aid.
of course not. they'll use it to lure in more starving people to massacre
death to israel
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
And that they will most likely suffer no consequences from it
there's no "legally" what, they enter Gaza territoral waters, only gaza has authority to regulate it's territorial waters.
Israel has no right to control Gaza's waters.
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 ?
#BringThemHome
Good thing Sweden isn't Israel or else they'd have bombed their hospitals already.
Of course idf kidnaps a kid
She's 22.
That explains why they didn’t just shoot on site
I just want to point out that Greta Thunberg is 22 years old. She's been an adult for 4 years now
