It’s crazy that this is the line. This mother fucker has been one of the biggest cheerleaders of a genocide that has killed thousands of men, women, and children. But I guess Palestinians aren’t people to these fucks

There were French citizens on that flotilla.

It would be crazy of the French government not to consider that a line.

I mean sure. I’m just commenting on the fact that genocide should have been the first line because it is genocide.

That's a fair criticism too.

I would have thought with all the talk about, "Never again," we'd be a bit more upset about genocide but we have a pretty poor record around doing anything about them, caring about them, and in many cases, just knowing about them.

A French EU MP was captured in international water and held captive in Israel for a couple of days in a prior flotilla assault. That should definitely have been the line. I'm not sure what this latest occurrence adds to that but I guess the financial interests have shifted.

barely, there's a rogue nation doing piracy in the Mediterranean, kidnapping and torturing civilians, the bare minimum is ensure the Mediterranean is safe. IE blow up every Israeli military asset outside Israel territorial waters. Including within Gazan territorial waters.

But that means having reasonable leadership. not cowards

A person, suggesting to blow up ships in international waters. And yes, this same person lives in the delusion of "protecting lives and law".

Hamas must be very happy with this kind of "useful idiots" (sic: historical term!) deteriorating the democracies from within.

Your negligible skills in reading comprehension are accompanied with obscene language.

It's ironic and troubling that the Karen of you decided it is capable to do anything for the common good.

Go ahead, give me a single good reason why is it OK that a rogue nation is kidnapping civilians torturing and raping them is a good thing.

The entire IDF and vast majority of Israeli's are gleefully behind the genocide and abuse. Why just sanction one person?

ISTG they'll probably roll this back soon and say they've decided to just sanction his glasses /s.

Could do with military accompanying the flotillas to the destination, and preventing them from being seized by the apartheid terrorists or by the apartheid-funded terrorists, or really, by anyone else. And that after supplying the populace, they can return safely to where the flotilla came from.

Fatah are the true liberators!
