      great,

      what is a word by being taken against your consent in international waters by a armed group without legal jurisdiction?

        They sailed straight into a naval blockade. They were subsequently stopped and searched. What do you expect? That Israel asks them nicely if they can kindly fuck off?

          Israeli, I expect Israel to fuck off and not violate international law by unilaterally setting up a multi decade long blockage, especially during a genocide and famine they are creating.

        Seizing/intercepting for deportation. Not trying to defend Israel, but it was pretty clear from the start that this was their mission, and it went perfectly according to the plan, and now media can have a field day.

        EDIT: Apparently they didn’t even bother loading the boat full with aid

          I wouldn’t consider it deportation.

          not like they went to Israel, they went to another country.

          that’s like me going to Canada, but the US intercepting my plane, forcing me to land in US soil at gunpoint. and then be kicked out of the states.

              Article 23 of the fourth Geneva convention would disagree with you.

              also, a foreign country boarding a boat, imprisoning the crew, and confiscating the ship and cargo, all in international waters is called piracy, not the fun one.

                What the hell are you claiming? Greta is not in forced labor. Military blockade is a real thing, she tries to breach it, and was apprehended and deported. End of the very predictable story that went perfectly according to the plan.

                    International law regards military blockade as an act of war.

                    They are at war. Rest is pretty much useless as in real life these agreements and conventions only work when the stronger party enforces it, which isn’t happening here. What is written on some paper and how real life works are two very different things.

                    I should mention again that I’m not trying to defend Israel, just telling you the brutal truth that things written in geneva convention do not work in real life if the stronger party refuses to play by it, just like UN is often meaningless if US has veto power and does what it want, or ICC that can’t do anything meaningful because states have threatened to take forceful action against them if they attempt to actually arrest someone from said country. We of course love yelling these things at countries doing shitty things, makes us feel better and puts us on the morally correct side, especially against Russia with thousands of war crimes, but what does that change if there is no one that can enforce said laws? You wanna go to russia and arrest Putin? Didn’t think so. Empty words. Evil does not care about your signature.
