A. Where do you see detain, seize, kidnap and deportation from a state they never intended to enter? Nowhere? Because it isn’t legal.
B. Yes Israel is the warship. No they’re a humanitarian ship which is specifically allowed by international law so long as they agree to security measures like… A visit and search. As an aside a merchant is involved in commerce ie. Trade. Humanitarians are the ideological antithesis of Marchants.
C. You seem to think they can exert a total blockade which is illegal, your own source cites the 2019 decision that the 2019 blockade was legal specifically because it did not bar aid.
Combatants and neutral ships that breach exclusion, again Israel isn’t even claiming that’s what happened so why are you?

You might not be aware, but Israel has been allowing in aid for a while now. There is no total blockade.
Look up definition of merchant ship. Sure you might qualify them as a pleasure ship instead.
