SATISH SHARMA - not just Rotigraphy.: Today, Israel didn't even bother to make up an excuse for attacking the Madleen ship in international waters, kidnapping the activists on board, forcing them to watch a propaganda video & continuing to hold them captive at the time of writing this.

In 2008, six international ships broke Israel's illegal blockade on Gaza Israel didn't intercept them out of fear of global backlash & b/c they expected those flotillas to eventually tire themselves out But the boats kept coming, so Israel began attacking them under a pretext that their naval blockade aims to “prevent weapons, ammunition, military supplies, terrorists & money from entering” Gaza, or “terrorists… & other maritime borne threats” from leaving the enclave. Israel never found a single weapon on board of any of the ships they have intercepted since! Israeli Knesset member, Einat Wilf, admitted that “the armaments for Hamas were not coming from this flotilla,” & that the ship’s attempt to reach Gaza “had nothing to do with [Israel's] security” Today, Israel didn't even bother to make up an excuse for attacking the Madleen ship in international waters, kidnapping the activists on board, forcing them to watch a propaganda video & continuing to hold them captive at the time of writing this. Israel's message is now simple & undisguised in jargon: we are starving Gaza to death, the "civilized world" is letting us get away with it & you can't do anything about it! The Israeli government admits they intercepted the Madleen out of fear that allowing it into Gaza would incentivize many others to follow suit. Hence, the only answer to this atrocious piracy, draconian siege & genocide is to sail more ships towards Gaza!
