    Israel has told the flotilla repeatedly they can deliver the aid through the proper channels and the port of Ashdod.

    The small amount of captured aid from the freedom flotilla is being delivered to Gaza by Israel at the moment.

      Correct, they hadn’t entered the area yet though so they technically heeded their warning.

      Stolen, if you take something from someone and dispense it as your own you’re guilty of theft and conversion something they say Hamas does with aid. And moreover delivering aid doesn’t negate the whole unlawful boarding, seizure and forcible human trafficking thing.

        You don’t need to actually rob someone for the police to arrest you, if you loudly proclaim your intent and don’t stop.

        Confiscating ship and cargo, and holding the crew is perfectly legal under international maritime law for blockade runners.

        Israel said the tiny amount of aid the flotilla brought would be delivered on to Gaza.

          You do actually. They need pc for arrest, they need reasonable articulable suspicion to detain, your simply confusing or conflating the two. Similarly a police officer needs jurisdiction, Israel doesn’t have jurisdiction outside of the blockade or territorial waters.

          To run a blockade you actually need to enter it, at anchor in international water after declaring your intent is quite literally the textbook reaction to a blockade and specifically to enter one legally.

          Israel also says it’s ok to run over people with tanks so maybe Israel is full of shit and you should trust third parties over the most active belligerent. FYI Hitler tried to say invading Poland for security reasons was legal, turns out no but Israel decided to quite literally pull a Hitler.

          Stop cucking for authoritarians bud.
