Palestine defenders on Thursday condemned Israeli forces’ raidb of the latest Global Sumud Flotilla—which was sailing off the Greek coast while attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza—and the arrest of more than 200 of its participants, with some prominent critics calling the seizure an act of piracy.
Greenpeace International—whose MY Arctic Sunrise is the flotilla’s most prominent ship—said that the maritime convoy’s 58 vessels were “boarded and harassed by Israeli forces in international waters 45 nautical miles west of the Greek island Kythira and 600 nautical miles from Gaza.”
Curious. Are they as divided as we are in the West on domestic and international issues?
I know of a certain man with a funny mustache from Deutschland who would get a hearty chuckle out of this genocidal business, given who is committing it.
No they are not. That is the problem.
On domestic issues that don’t involve the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, yes, there are bitter divisions. On ethnically cleansing Palestinians, no, they are virtually unanimous. On waging constant war and stealing land, again, no division, virtually unanimous.
