Israeli forces assaulted the humanitarian vessel “Madleen” en route to Gaza, seizing the cargo and abducting its crew
Why isn’t there a Berlin airlift for Gaza? Why aren’t navies escorting aid ships? Those are rhetorical questions, you don’t need to answer it for me. I know most governments with any ability to project power support the genocide.
Supposedly Israel is detaining them in solitary while deporting them after abducting them in international waters.
WTF?
They weren’t abducted.
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.
You’re missing one major difference. US doesn’t enforce blockade over Canada

How morally wrong this is, is whole another discussion, just pointing out why this was never going to happen and went according to the plan.
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.
you might have read the wrong rule https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treaties/gciv-1949/article-23
A) military blockade on international waters?
B) A blockade that started in 2006?
C) it’s actually a warcrime for a military blockade to block aid and food.
