The largest aid flotilla so far.

Ben Gvir has said that the occupants of the boats will be designated as terrorists and sent to prisons.

Hopefully they will be safe.

Im sure the IDF will have some challah ready for them.

Personally know some people on it as well as one of the key organisers!

I'm incredibly proud of them but also extremely worried for them.

Wow @SomeWomanSomewhere that's brilliant. Fair play to them.

I also know someone on board- really lovely remarkable person! I do hope they are safe. Huge respect for all those brave enough to make that journey

@SharonEllisGreta has gone back for more! That smile said it all.

Also hope they will be safe despite not agreeing with what they are doing as it’s performative in my opinion.

I think maybe it’s fair that repeat offenders like Greta should be put in prison for a short while. She has already been removed from Gaza once for trespassing. She can’t expect to keep illegally entering another country’s waters where she is definitely not welcome, with no consequences.

Of course the protesters should all be kept safe but it’s creating extra work to keep removing them.

Israel will be criticised whatever happens. That's the point of the stunt. Just as with PA supporters, if you do the crime you do the time and to bleat about the consequences of your actions is pathetic. Best ignored but I don't suppose there's any chance of that!

It's so nice to see them partying and having fun as they go!
Tragic that Greta has lost the frog hat. Hopefully someone will step in and provide another

I can't tell if this is sarcasm?

It is, they think they're are funny same with the other posters above because people are trying to land medical supplies, sanitary towels, nappies, food etc on a besieged population.

It's because it shows it's not Hamas stealing aid is the reason for the blockade but collective punishment but we are not allowed to say that.

"Oh my goodness, they're having fun on the journey! How could they when people are suffering?" .........is what a tremendous virtue signaller might say.
They might also say...
"I hope those terrible Israelis don't give them sandwiches and 'kidnap' 🙄them again."

Almost 2 years since 7/10 - bring them home.

March against antisemitism in London tomorrow.

I'll be there!

It’s not Israel’s land or water so they have no right to block people! They intercept boats in international waters, boats heading for Palestine, you know land that does not belong to Israel. We should all go out and protest if they attack ships in international waters again!

Why do you think Israel might need to control the sea waters off gaza?

Exactly this. Every flotilla that has ever tried to break the siege(except in 2008 when 2 boats successfully reached Gaza) has been intercepted or attacked by Israel in international waters. Dragging someone out of International waters to Israel and then accusing them of tresspassing is crazy talk.

To stop Greta bringing nappies and formula to babies apparently.

No to stop Hamas importing weapons and materials for building tunnels and military capability, not to mention drug trafficking.

Anyone who supports Palestinians would actually be in favour of cutting off the sources of Hamas power and control but of course that is not the case.

Of course Israel doesn't want to expend vast resources policing Hamas's crminal trade.

Obviously, anything to make life shittier for Palestinians.

I hope so much that Hamas do disband and leave, not only for the obvious reasons but also because then Israel will have to find a new excuse for their treatment of the Palestinian people .

Why would Hamas disband and leave unless they were forced out?

or babka..

Well yes obviously?

Bit tasteless when they are trying to bring food to people decimated by a declared famine wouldn't you think?

Or is it meant to be funny.

Its not at all obvious when you use the phrase 'disband and leave' rather than 'are forced to disband and leave'.

Ok?
