The activists are expected to be detained and then taken to Ashdod, where they will be told to sign deportation orders and flown out of the country.

      No, but it forces the issue of Israel intentionally terror-starving Palestinians to come back up and Israel can’t help but self-own by calling aid organizations Hamas

        Are the flotilla recognised as legal humanitarian aid providers? I understand from other threads that Israel is legally required to allow humanitarian aid through. I assume here this would mean recognized humanitarian aid. Else it would be akin to just random people trying to run a blockade without a legally recognized reason, which would not put the IDF in the ‘legal’ wrong.

        Their subsequent treatment of the flotilla and it’s crew is something else to discuss of course

        I don’t even know if there’s such a thing as ‘legal humanitarian aid’ as opposed to an ‘illegal’ one.

          “Legal” who is enforcing these international laws that we can all see Israel breaking? Think about this situation as how colonialist America legally took over all of the Native American land and exterminated them “legally”. It is the same story. Meanwhile Israeli settlers enjoy free universal healthcare and schooling the United States funds.
