The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs says the Madleen’s crew is being taken to Israel after Israeli commandos seized the vessel in international waters. The Madleen ship, launched by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, was close to 100 miles [160km] from Gaza when it was stopped. The ship was carrying humanitarian aid to Palestinians starving because of Israel’s siege. Israel’s most recent total blockade began on March 2, and has only partially lifted under mounting international pressure.

    How are you going to non-violently put yourself in a position where you control Israeli education and media?

      Why should we “control Israeli education and media”? That’s the same authoritarian rule that leads to propaganda. Also, based on your question, it seems you’re arguing towards violently putting yourself in a postition where you control Israeli education and media. Ignoring the fact that controlling education and media results to the same authoritarian rule that leads to propoganda, that sounds like a fascist dictatorship rather than rehabilitation, education, or even resistence.

        You say “change happens with education and rehabilitation”, and yet you condemn the idea of actually doing that.

          I am against the idea of controlling education and media that does not mean I am against of education and rehabilitation themselves.

              You don’t have to control to do. I don’t have to control my comrades to work with them. I don’t need to control education and media like a fascist dictator to inform.

                If you consider the people who currently control Israeli education and media your “comrades”, you really shouldn’t be calling other people fascists

                  I quote “I don’t need to control education and media like a fascist dictator to inform.” I’m clearly comparing the people that control Israeli education and media to facist dictators not my comrades. I gave an example in the work place that I don’t have to control my comrades (not israelis) to work with them emphasizing anti-authoritarian anarchist principles. You are simply cherry picking what I said and understanding it in your narrative.
