Well it looks like the Sumud flotilla bringing humanitarian aid to Palestinians has begun to be intercepted and boarded

Israel of course breaking international law by preventing humanitarian aid, but what else is new for those criminals.

Free Palestine!

Didn't a couple of EU countries send an escort or was that just more talk?

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow no. To collect bodies, but they ran away! Sailed away.

They were escorting them for a while but left quite a while before now

@Pikachu So a photo op. Got it.

I don't know why they escorted them and then abandoned them.
I do think it's shitty that they abandoned them

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow they were told not to engage but only to pick up bodies, then Italy and Spain might have been threatened - they ordered no rescues, no recovery and the naval vessels fled.

@Pikachu Photo op. Short term positive optics with zero commitment. Wish I could say I am surprised.

Most people will just remember they were on the right side of history for the 6 o clock news a few days ago.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow

Yeah maybe

@Pikachu And with Italy being run by a fascist I was actually surprised they did even that much.

@Pikachu I am Canadian. IN the 90s General Romeo Dallaire was tossed into Rwanda with 400 soldiers and hung out to dry than blamed when he didn't stop a genocide all by himself.
