I caught wind of this. This was absolutely disgusting. I have always had a soft spot in my heart for Greta Thunberg, even back when I was a conservative. If Jewish Supremacists attacking Miss Rachel had not managed to finally turn me against Zionist brain rot that I had been steeped in since I gained political consciousness in my mid-teens, I think this might have done it for me.

More and more, it looks as if the Netanyahu Government will tolerate no dissent. Or publicity about its policy to deprive the Palestinians in Gaza of food and other life-sustaining supplies.

From the OP's reuters article:

...Israel has imposed a naval blockade on the coastal enclave since Hamas took control of Gaza in 2007, saying it aims to stop weapons from reaching the militant group.

The blockade has remained in place through conflicts including the war which began when Hamas-led militants rampaged through southern Israel on October 7, 2023, killing more than 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages, by Israeli tallies.

Israel's retaliatory offensive against Hamas has since killed more than 54,000 Palestinians, according to health officials in Hamas-run Gaza, and destroyed most of the homes of its 2.3 million residents.

At the start of March this year, Israel also sealed off Gaza by land, letting no supplies in for three months, arguing that Hamas was diverting aid. Over the past two weeks it has let in some food to be distributed by an Israeli-backed group. Scores of hungry Palestinians have been killed trying to reach it....
 
A silly 'look'at me' stunt by our national idiot, Greta Thunberg. The aid 'food aid' amount to less than half a truck load; over the last two weeks over a thousand trucks carrying food have entered Gaza from Israel.

Yes, that's very nice.

What does it have to do with Israel seizing ships in international waters?

Are you being serious, Sweden? Gaza requires 500-600 trucks of food, fuel and medicine per day to meet the 2 million people's basic nutritional needs. In two weeks, at least 7,000 to 8,400 trucks would have needed to enter. Israel just allowing a thousand or so only confirms that Israel is slowly starving the enclave to death, just like the Nazis did to the Jews of Lodz and Warsaw.


Sorry Greta did not bring an armada of aid ships with millions of tons of food and a couple super-tankers worth of fuel, but she is only one goodhearted autistic girl working against a militaristic country engaged in genocide, with her home country and all of Europe complicit in the same genocide.

European Hamas operative behind Gaza flotilla carrying Greta Thunberg - i24NEWS

Israel designated Birawi as a Hamas terrorist in Europe as early as 2013, and classified his organization EuroPal Forum as a 'terrorist organization' in 2021.

Greta is a pawn of Hamas, a classic useful idiot. Their man in the UK, Zaher Birawi, organised this stunt. No indication who funded it - Hamas is by far the most likely source of funds.

(1) I do not believe that for a second.
(2) Even if I did believe it, Gaza is still not receiving enough food aid.
(3) Israel should stop committing genocidal acts against the Palestinians of Gaza behind their media blackout and allow both foreign aid and journalists in.

Weird. I have never been able to continue believing in what I wanted to. If I believed what I wanted to, I would still be a pro-Israel conservative. I would still believe in God and Heaven. Oh, and I would also believe in Santa Claus. But I no longer believe in these things, because I am compelled to accept the truth when it is presented to me.

Are you able to concede that not all Gazans are Hamas, or do you think that they are all in it together and Gazans deserve whatever Israel chooses to give to them, be it food or bombs?

Sweden:

From your first cited article above:

In October 2023, Labour MP Christian Wakeford used parliamentary immunity to publicly label Birawi as a "Hamas terrorist living in Barnet, North London." The parliamentarian highlighted that this man was "administrator of a British charitable association, Education Aid for Palestinians," and had organized a London event in 2019 titled "Understanding Hamas."
Click to expand...

Parliamentary immunity protected former Conservative and now Labour MP Wakeford from either civil or criminal libel in the UK when he uttered what was likely an unprovable slander. Why was this onetime claim never repeated outside the House of Commons by MP Wakeford? It is the one of the bases for the accusation which the I24 article which you cited made its argument. Simply associating on one occasion with a more moderate senior Hamas official and offering to educate people about the Hamas organisation (not just the militant part) are not in themselves terroristic acts. You are buying into Israeli and very marginal UK polar duality rather than examining the actual facts behind the accusations.

Be well and be safe.

Apparently we are not supporting lawless pirates seizing ships in international waters and taking crews and passengers unlawfully from the high seas. Your rhetoric and hyperbole does not change the facts of the breach of law by the State of Israel.

God, the lies you have to tell to make yourself believe you are on the right side of things is astounding.

Sorry, but even if what you are saying was 100% true, and Greta Thunberg hated Jews and every single Palestinian in Gaza hated Jews, that does not serve as a justification to imprison and starve to death 2 million-odd Jew hating civilians who have not themselves engaged in violence against Jews and bomb them at random.

What, are we allowed to kidnap Neo-Nazis out of their compounds in Idaho and lock them in basements and slowly starve them to death along with their families and children? They hate Jews after all, and they likely teach their kids to hate Jews from the time they learn to talk. Would it not be best to exterminate them root and branch from our society?

:ROFLMAO:

Look at yourself.

Lies...but OK...so its true...still............

Your Jew hatred compels you to say stupid shit. Its..........tragic.
 
The client state is not a rogue state because it is a client state. We, in the US, France, Germany and England, are accountable, because we let ourselves be silenced in the face of a campaign to weaponize charges of antisemitism, to criminalize dissent, and to maintain Israel as a militarized proving ground.
 
They have done their part declaring that their aim was to break the naval blockade on Hamas-run Gaza. Should have been charged with support for terrorism as well but deporting is fine. Greta is indeed a lunatic.

Siege warfare is legal in international law, and it is aimed at Hamas not at the Gazan population as the fact that Israel seeks ways to get aid to civilians bypassing Hamas demonstrates. Try harder.

What does international law have to say about this though?

Under the San Remo Manual, a 1994 legally recognized but nonbinding document from the International Institute of Humanitarian Law dealing with blockades and armed conflicts – widely held to be the international standard for blockades – countries can intercept a vessel that is trying to breach the blockade as soon as it leaves its port of origin if the vessel is clear in its purpose to illegally enter waters, a legal adviser to the Foreign Ministry who is an expert in maritime law explained.

Your linked article does not say that and the video is just one person's an opinion untested in international courts. So no, piracy is the better option until the courts accept this new doctrine.

But the ship wasn't attempting to illegally enter waters. It's not illegal to enter Palestinian water.

Also the San Remo manual specifically states that food and medicine for civilians can't be used as justification for intercepting.
