Israeli naval forces raided Gaza-bound aid vessels in international waters hundreds of nautical miles from the besieged enclave late on Wednesday.
According to the Global Sumud Flotilla aid mission, at least 15 boats were intercepted, with those on board “abducted” by Israeli forces and unaccounted for.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry said approximately 175 activists from more than 20 boats were in Israeli custody.
The Global Sumud Flotilla said various vessels were “systematically disabled” after being raided, leaving activists stranded at sea.
“After smashing engines and destroying navigation arrays, the military retreated—intentionally leaving hundreds of civilians stranded on powerless, broken vessels directly in the path of a massive approaching storm,” it said.
Israel is a rogue state and must be stopped.
Rest of the west: sure! We’ll increase funding to Israel and enable their crimes against humanity!
Hey, that’s antisemitism!
Antisemitism is committing Genocide using Judaism as an excuse as if it provided a rationalization.
I wouldn’t call that piracy. I’d call it attempted murder.
I want to be surprised but I’m not. They aren’t letting anyone stop their genocide.
