Drama on the High Seas
"It's appropriate that Greta the anti-Semite and her Hamas-supporting friends see exactly who the terror group Hamas is, what atrocious acts they carried out against women, the elderly and children, and who Israel is fighting to defend against."Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz"While Greta and others attempted to stage a media provocation whose sole purpose was to gain publicity -- and which included less than a single truckload of aid -- more than 1,200 aid trucks have entered Gaza from Israel within the past two weeks.""In addition, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has distributed close to 11 million meals directly to civilians in Gaza.""There are ways to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip -- they do not involve Instagram selfies. The tiny amount of aid that was on the yacht and not consumed by the 'celebrities' will be transferred to Gaza through real humanitarian channels."Israeli Foreign Ministry

Drama, expressions of foreboding and fear, sinister allegations that Israeli authorities would exercise an agenda of vengeance against a small ship's crew of avowed anti-Israel activists who accuse the Jewish state of 'genocidal' intentions against Palestinians in Gaza as payback for the Palestinian terrorist attack against Israeli civilians and foreign farm workers on October 7, 2023, exploited the occasion for its sympathetic and gullible audience led to believe that those aboard the pro-Palestinian Freedom Flotilla Coalition vessel Madleen faced death in their bold attempt to feed 'starving' Palestinians.
This theatre of the high seas set out to demonstrate how noble were the yacht's passengers and crew in risking life and limb to show the world how inhumane Israel is in its ongoing battle against Palestinian civilians -- not the Hamas terrorists who have controlled life in Gaza, and continually placed the population in direct and deliberate danger by attacking Israel, and in so doing drawing Israeli return fire -- has been, sacrificing civilians to ferret out the dedicated 'fighters' among them.
That the 'fighters' are unadulterated terrorists whose death cult agenda time and again strikes at Israel and its population, is construed instead by its Western supporters as 'freedom fighters' opposing 'occupation'. That Palestinian leaders have time and again in the past 80 years turned down the opportunity to achieve a state of their own through negotiations, which end predictably in their refusal to recognize the State of Israel, and have chosen instead ongoing violent attacks is of no moment to supporters of Hamas. Nothing deters them from their belief of Hamas and other Palestinian terrorist groups as 'liberators'.

The use of Palestinian civilians as human shields, the openly stated Hamas argument that in their zeal to destroy Israel and retain the entire geographic area 'from the river to the sea' representing Palestinian patrimony, not the historic ancestral Judean land that it is, seems purely incidental to the empathetic activists who swear to break through the internationally legal blockade of Gaza. Hamas itself knows the power of suggestion, that repeating allegations time and again gives them currency, celebrates the death in numbers of Palestinians as 'proof' that Israel has set out to demolish Gaza as a Palestinian entity.
The British-flagged yacht Madleen, with its dozen dedicated protesters whose agenda is to embarrass Israel at the presumed potential cost of their lives, exploited their opportunity to advantage drawing the attention of the world to their courageous posturing while openly and dramatically expressing their terror at the presumed end that awaited them as they neared Gaza in the open seas they traversed. Finally, "The show is over", signalled the Israeli Foreign Ministry, as the vessel was detained then hauled by tug to the Israeli port of Ashdod.

Greeted by an Israeli naval vessel, and given food and drink, the ministry posted the message that Thunberg was "on her way to Israel, safe and in good spirits". Not so, responded kaffiyeh clad Greta; she and her colleagues were "kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces or forces that support Israel". Of the dozen aboard, half were French, there was one Spanish national, and one each from Brazil, Germany, the Netherlands and Turkey.
According to the always-reliable Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the interception represented "a blatant act of international piracy and state terrorism", just as the Iranian Republic condemned the intervention as "a form of piracy". Defence Minister Israel Katz ordered the military to have the activist group view a 43-minute video of atrocities Hamas terrorists committed during the October 7 massacre, which the war in Gaza resulted from.
As it happened none of the conscience-driven activists would watch the video, declaring it Israeli 'propaganda'.
"Unauthorized attempts to breach the blockade are dangerous, unlawful, and undermine ongoing humanitarian efforts.""We call on all actors to act responsibly and to channel humanitarian aid through legitimate, co-ordinated mechanisms, not through provocation."Israeli Foreign Ministry
