Where are the #FreeTheHostages people now?

Don't they have empathy for the kidnapped volunteers of #FreedomFlotilla?

Does anyone care about their safety and well being?

States doing piracy to each other without war was a staple of the golden age of piracy. It was called privateering.

Right, modern day international law would define that as an act of war.

It clearly is.

Just because a nation commits an act of war against you doesn't mean that you have to declare war and attack. All it means is you have a justifiable cause to retaliate under international law

“Act of war” is not the same as “declaration of war”, in case you were under that impression.
