Hopefully our delightful government leaves them where they are Since the flotilla is helping the same people that Hamas represent do you really think your comment makes any sense?
Our government are too spineless to take any action that might upset anyone, as they keep demonstrating by deeds.
so the flotilla is helping hamas.... so they are terrorists as well then, hopefully they get what they deserve

The Israeli Defence Forces and the regulations placed restricting movement and basic freedoms of Palestinians have long been begging a response from the disaffected population. Hamas has acted as a mouthpiece for that social abuse as was pretty predictable. Heavy handed on Hamas's part but then so was the harm being inflicted by Israel. After all if you keep poking a dog with a stick then sooner or later that dog will retaliate, and that action from Hamas was the bite. The Israelis are just fortunate that force hasn't been brought to bear by the bigger players in the Middle Eastern Islamic arena, yet. A couple of well placed missiles into Tel Aviv would wake up their ideas a bit.
Israel has refused to obey international law and the flotilla has done what they have to force a point in supplying food and aid to a population that is having genocide inflicted on it. To deny the right for them to do so is to demonstrate complicity to Israel's genocide. Our government has demonstrated they don't have the spine to call Israel out and good luck to the brave individuals in the flotilla who are attempting to do so.

I think that even you must be well aware that the flotilla is carrying food supplies & medical aid.
As far as I'm aware, the crews are made up of people from all over the world - none of whom are terrorists.

And Britain? Did it get what it wanted when it created Israel on stolen Palestinian land in 1948?
How many people has Israel slaughtered in defence of that created state?
How many hostages has Israel stashed in its prisons?
Why was Hamas created in 1967?
What have the Palestinian women and children done to deserve genocide?
Hard questions the flotilla is designed is ask, because the world has been ignoring them since 1948, and is just now waking up.

Not unexpected and to a large extent warranted. But if you're on Netanyahu and Trump's side of the fence of course you don't see it that way.
Israel are only making the whole situation worse both immediately and for lifetimes to come. Their genocidal actions will come back at them with a vengence and then they will again try to play their victim card. Fuckwits!

Really? So - you actually believe that Hamas wanted virtually the entire area of Gaza destroyed, children made orphans, thousands of Palestinians killed, children being quite deliberately starved to death, people being killed or crippled, you think that is what Hamas 'wanted?'
Perhaps you might do a bit of reading on the history of Gaza...

I agree. There is an acceptance in law that in most conflicts an unprovoked attack can be responded to with proportionate action, and directed at military targets, not civilian. Again and again Israel has broken international law on this point. And been enabled by the major powers in both doing so and countenancing the actions.
Israel has become a pariah state.

I'd like to see both Hamas leaders & the Israeli govt arrested for war crimes, & let the peace groups made up of both Israelis & Palestinians work towards a peaceful two state solution & repair the damage - to be paid for by Israel.

You know how some nations sent big ships to accompany the flotilla, and did a big grandstanding thing about their involvement? Turns out as soon as the flotilla got close to being threatened by Israel those big ships all turned back rather than get involved...
Not just Winston then.

Not just Winston then. Just under the instructions of their owners, in both cases.

Absolutely - to their shame. Assuming they're capable of it.

Israel accused of detaining Greta Thunberg in an infested cell & has been given insufficient food & water, & making her hold flags. Those arrested haven't been given medication or immediate acess to legal representation.
And they have the gall to refer to the protesters as terrosits - clearly extremely odd 'terrorists' bringing food & medical supplies..
