Those "selfie tourists" have more humanity between them than the entire Israeli government. Monsters and Bigots, land thieves and Murderers.

Israel won't survive this.

The seizure occurred in international waters. This was an act of piracy by Israel and an act of war again the UK, the nation under which the ship is flagged.

Nota Bene:

Republican Party support for Russia and the Kremlin has not hurt the GOP with their voters. But Democratic Party support for Israel has hurt the Dems with their base, losing 6,265,888 voters on 5 Nov 2024 they had on 3 Nov 2020. These same progressives and antiwar samaritans will stay home in future elections if the Democratic Party candidate is AIPAC-funded. Their consciences will be clear.

A vote for the Republicans may be a vote for the oligarchs, but a vote for the Democrats has become a vote for genocide.

The activist group Freedom Flotilla Coalition, which organised the journey, said [...] that the crew had been "kidnapped by Israeli forces".

Kidnapping? Is that frowned upon?

Maybe they should tell Hamas, once Greta finishes giving them backrubs and foot massages...

I would like to intercept her flotilla, if you know what I mean...

Wow! That's an outrage!

I'm sure the UK will get right on that. Right after they give the Palestinians a stern talking-to for this minor faux pas:

More Britons killed on October 7 than in any other foreign terror attack since 9/11

Why did Greta refuse to watch video of Oct 7?

Probably because she had already seen plenty of that and didn't want to see any more.

#17 Armed resistance to illegal occupation is legal.

Are the Ukrainians wrong to resist the Russians? Why are we Arming them if armed resistance is Wrong?

The Israelis Have great PR. Or Did.

But the fact is the Palestinians have the Moral High ground.

Including Hamas.

They are resisting the strangulation of their culture. The massacre of their people and the theft and destruction of their improvements by Criminals with a good image and compelling story.

Just because Israel is well liked in North America and Western Europe doesn't change the fact it's a Squatter colony.

Genocide is Evil...Even when the Chosen are committing it.

Hamas resistance is valid morally because it's not ethnic in origin.

The "Jewish" State is Morally Bankrupt because it,like Nazi Germany is based on EthnoSupremacy and Murder.

Jewish State=Islamic State.

Morally,about the same.

Difference is, the Jewish State has the Guilt about the "Six Million" to give them latitude to be -------- and Murderers .

The Islamic State has no such guilt to Profit from.

The senior Senator from Israel, Chuck Schumer, must go if the Democratic Party wants the crucial antiwar and progressive base back for future elections. Those 6,265,888 supporters they lost from 2020 to 2024 will swell to eight million or more in 2026 and 2028: pbs.twimg.com

As far as Ukraine in concerned...

We had a deal with them and Russia in the 1990's that they would give their nukes back, Russia wouldn't invade, and we would protect them from invaders.
Ukraine upheld their end of the deal, We upheld our end of the deal. Putin did not. You're welcome for the lesson.

That's coming to an almost certainly painful end.

Israel as currently constituted won't survive the loss of the US Hegemon.

So they better pray that the US doesn't eat itself alive.

If we do, they're in Deep Doo Doo.

No more Bunker Busters.
