The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs says the Madleen’s crew is being taken to Israel after Israeli commandos seized the vessel in international waters. The Madleen ship, launched by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, was close to 100 miles [160km] from Gaza when it was stopped. The ship was carrying humanitarian aid to Palestinians starving because of Israel’s siege. Israel’s most recent total blockade began on March 2, and has only partially lifted under mounting international pressure.
Isn't it illegal to seize them in international waters?
Israel hijacks ship and kidnaps crew*.
Please fix title
Stay safe from the fascist IOF, brave aid workers.
This world is imploding, and one day the Israeli war criminals will be brought to justice.
They could have inspect the boat to make sure they weren't smuggling weapons and let it go, instead they seized it along with the crew because only the israel government has the authority to bring aid into gaza. This is 100% fascism.
*kidnapped and fucking piracy. They were in international waters. IDF had to call to seize the ship and kidnap those people. Because exactly what they did.
