Who is meant to uphold the law here? Even if it was the UK, I suspect our esteemed (not!) Leaders would find a simple reason not to.
What I'm waiting for here is the reaction of Italian dockworkers to the Italian frigate doing absolutelly nothing when the Sumud Flotilla was attacked by an Israeli force in International Waters, which is literally an act of Piracy.
Italian & Spanish warships ... just spontaneously sunk themselves to avoid doing anything?
They were only going to escort them up to a certain point, Israel was waiting for that point, once the flotilla reached said point they were on their own and then Israel struck.
Where is the escort? I thought there were warships escorting the flotilla. Did they disappear?
They left when they entered the critical zone. This is how enslaved most countries are by this terrorist state
They were never going to defend them.
Glory to the flotilla
Have previous efforts had 40+ ships simultaneously?
No this is more ships than all previous flotillas combined.
It sure seems like Israel wants war with checks laundry list Everyone... I'm just confused how external pressures haven't escalated the threat to full-blown WW3. Not that I want it to get there, but the only interpretation I can see is that Israel does.
The people they're antagonizing don't have powerful allies.
115 tons of aid have entered Gaza from Israel/Egypt since the start of this flotilla.
The flotilla is carrying less than half of that.
Aaaand he’s gone. Don’t worry about the position of a man who will not defend said position.
Reminder this person is a mod on one of the biggest .world communities.
Ah, so that's why people are saying to avoid .world
Thanks, guess I'm making a new account.
At least it's just a news one. Nothing important or negative would appear there
At gunpoint. At killing fields. By a racist bunch of gangsters. During a fucking genocide.
Still the numbers are irrelevant. The point of the flotilla is to challenge the illegal and immoral blockade of Gaza by the genocidal Israeli apartheid regime. Even if they were carrying a single can of baby formula, the flotilla would still be immensely meaningful.
Its meant to be symbolic aid and a breaking of the siege.
Which is also far less than the area needs. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jul/31/the-mathematics-of-starvation-how-israel-caused-a-famine-in-gaza
But yay Israel not even doing bare minimum to prevent starvation?
And?
And now justify the illegal blockade and the targeting of civilian vessels in international waters.
Where did you get this information?
Israeli state accounts probably
Don't you mean propaganda accounts?
Exactly the same these days but totally what that particular user would claim

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
