Greta Thunberg, in a video posted on social media, said she and other members of the Freedom flotilla en-route to Gaza have been kidnapped by Israeli forces. This comes after the Daily Mail reported that several Israeli vessels surrounded the ship Madleen, prompting the crew to raise an alarm.
Thunberg shared a pre-recorded video appealing for international help. “My name is Greta Thunberg, and I am from Sweden,” she said in the clip. “If you see this video, we are being intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel. I urge all my friends, family and comrades to put pressure on the Swedish government to release me and the others as soon as possible.”
All they had to do was wait until the boat entered Israeli waters to do it legally. Why do it in international waters? Israelis seem to want to break laws just for the sake of showing they dont consider any laws to matter. In some ways they are worse than nazis. They are like perpetually angry butthurt toddlers with weapons.
At no point would the boat enter Israeli waters. Only Palestinian waters.
The illegal Israeli sea blockade is illegal for reason: it is not their water.
there’s no “legally” what, they enter Gaza territoral waters, only gaza has authority to regulate it’s territorial waters.
Israel has no right to control Gaza’s waters.
They want to make a point that they don’t care about international law
And that they will most likely suffer no consequences from it
Was gonna say, they’ve not been given any reason to care about international law.
Although, I swear I saw that the ICC put out a warrant for Bibi.
So what? Not all nations care.
Like the UN: nice, noble… toothless.
You may be right. The whole world is on the brink ,deciding if we will move forward as a global “rule of law” or a global “might makes right” future.
We have always lived under “might makes right”. Ask any country that has been under the boot of western imperialism.
This is just the collapse of the charade of “rule of law” as the stranglehold of the western might begins to slip.
this country is run and heavily populated with most vile criminals ever to exist
when contemplating about what they are capable of, then think of them as the most disgusting mexican drug cartel not a country of law and human decency.
that seems like an unnecessary maligning of mexican drug cartels.
They know that the whole west and arab countries will do nada
Bibi is already wanted by the ICC so why stop now?
why would they care about breaking laws at this point?
