lego 44,165 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 provoke would be the word It could be either that or a symbolic attempt to bring to light the Israeli maritime blockade. They wanted to bring solar panels. There is huge need for wheelchairs, idk if they had those too. Now the Marianne of the Freedom Flottila: The fishing trawler Marianne of Gothenburg, a rebuilt trawler loaded with medical equipment and solar panels, was boarded in international waters and is Swedish flagged. ”Our voyage is a natural, brotherly action; our objective is humanitarian; our basis lies in international law; and our method is non-violence." https://shiptogaza.se/en I guess we should congratulate Israel for not executing 9 activists from this flotilla, like last time. Althought there is still not real news from them, if they're really unharmed. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmm 979 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 They wanted to bring solar panels. There is huge need for wheelchairs, idk if they had those too. I'm not saying Gaza didn't need what the ship was bringing, just that it obviously was never going to get to them, same as the previous two flotillas of Turkish, Irish and whatever other ships Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect if interception happens in own territories, that's your right. International territories is just hands off, not your waters, u got no business.

It's a problem in legal terms I guess, but Israel doesn't exactly pay attention to International law when it comes to territory that often Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does Israel feel provoked tho? When they see there are no weapons, what is the problem? FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melech 9,900 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 It's a problem in legal terms I guess, but Israel doesn't exactly pay attention to International law that often funny, only israel get called out if it "breaks" international law. lemme think why that is.....

MonsterMum 2,532 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 It's a problem in legal terms I guess, but Israel doesn't exactly pay attention to International law that often No and that's my problem really. Any other country it would be all over the news. Google headlines whenever Russia is being a bully in international waters or air space for that matter, half the world calls it preposterous and cries that they should be stopped but here everyone is suppose to shrug it off and I find it unfair.

Dolev 867 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Liberian Flagged Iranian Palestinian in again international waters (thanks for proving the point here about it not being the first time that Israel interfered in international waters) Now the Marianne of the Freedom Flottila: The fishing trawler Marianne of Gothenburg, a rebuilt trawler loaded with medical equipment and solar panels, was boarded in international waters and is Swedish flagged. ”Our voyage is a natural, brotherly action; our objective is humanitarian; our basis lies in international law; and our method is non-violence." https://shiptogaza.se/en So you actually acknowledge the fact that Hamas uses ships while covering it with fake stories to carry weapons into Gaza but you're still bragging about that international water issue I swear some doesn't even try to understand Israel's security needs or to look balanced. Weapons found on "freedom flotilla" MV Marmara Do you know what Hizbullah is? This whole fiasco is all about provoking Israel. As I said before 1.6 tons of goods and humanitarian equipment passes through Israel each year to Gaza. That's like 500,000 times of what this ship can carry. Why don't they travel Syria instead?

Sling shots, kitchen knifes and tools that you would find on a boat. Yes that's indeed frightening for those armored Israelis entering that ship. Syria has different issues at hand don't they. Besides, there have been millions issued by governments in support of Syria. That support will not be given to the Gaza. In fact the Dutch government have a few thousand Euro as aid. Comparing that to other issues throughout the world it's peanuts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
