Writer, Naoise Dolan, has just been illegally abducted from international waters by the Israeli government. Prior to being kidnapped, she wrote about her journey for The Guardian, explaining why they will not get Israel to distribute aid on their behalf.

“Israel likes to ask why we don’t “just” let them distribute our supplies. Besides there being good reason to distrust that this would actually happen when Israel has been deliberately starving Palestinians for two years, doing so would tacitly concede that Israel has the right to control Palestinian waters.”

Israel have just abducted 145 peace activists at gunpoint from international waters, in breach of international law. This follows their abduction of 500 people last week, some of which are still in captivity and those who have been released have reported brutal treatment where they were denied access to water, medical care and legal aid.

Thanks
I think I will also mention their continued violation of Lebanese and Syrian airspace to include civilian murdering bombings, and illegal occupation of southern Syria.

International law does not allow nations to violate the sovereignty of neighbouring states on such flimsy excuses.

Thanks for the links @KoalaKoKo

more needs to be done about Israel taking control of International waters.

They have no right
Neither can boats be seized or people removed from them in International waters in the circumstances the flotilla aid boats have been by Israel.
