One of the concerns is this happened in international rather than territorial waters. Israel needs to be held to account for its actions.

@Thinkingdeeper it's not like it was a private yacht going to Cyprus. Since the vessel was intending to dock in Gaza without authorization, it could be stopped in international waters. Are you saying that if Russia sends a bomber to Ukraine, they can't shoot at it until it's in Ukrainian airspace?

"Mind your own business" is the ethic. You don't have the right to pop your neighbor walking across a public alley toward your house until he has crossed your fence.
Whose authorization? Since when have you gotten the right to control the public space around the house you have occupied?
What do you mean by they? The party at war with Russia has not identified itself. Ukraine is represented by a comedian backed by a bunch of cowards including the USA. Russia is the only man fighting with a bunch of women.

The "bunch of women" are giving "the only man" quite a difficult time of it.
The "special military operation" was only supposed to last a few weeks at most, in Putin's quest to restore the Russian empire. Lenin did a lot better, and a lot faster.
@LeopoldBloom
You're on a roll, Leo!
That's two things right in two days. Congrats!

@sree251 Any vessel can be detained and boarded by the legal authorities of any country if it is suspected of engaging in illegal activities, as the Madleen had broadcast its intention to violate Israeli law to the world. Countries aren't houses, dummy.
For a "bunch of ladies," Ukraine sure is giving your boyfriend Vladimir a rough time. This is the problem with an authoritarian regime - the incentive is to tell the leader what he wants to hear, even if it's not true. You think your orange lord and savior is hearing anything negative from the sycophants in his cabinet?

You're slipping a little bit Leo... the "orange lord" is supporting Israel, so he can't be all bad in your eyes... 🤭

@Thinkerbell A broken clock is right twice a day. But I doubt if the orange pus cares about Israel beyond the fact that his Evangelical base supports it, and he might as well go along with that.
Also, every American president since Truman has "supported Israel" to one degree or another.

But the "broken clock" doesn't support Israel only twice a day.... more like 24 hrs/day.
And Obama was very reluctant, but maybe that was just because he didn't like Bibi.

@Thinkerbell It doesn't matter what Obama wanted, I go by what he did. And you have it backwards, Bibi hated Obama.
Trump is not reliable and if Bibi says something disrespectful, Trump could change his mind in an instant. Of course, TACO.

Bibi hated Obama...? 🤔
Oh, I must have gotten it wrong... it was Bibi who kept Obama waiting while Obama finished dinner (or whatever it was) when Bibi visited Washington.
Or maybe it was Obama not liking it when Bibi addressed Congress...? 🤔
