Israeli navy intercepts Global Sumud Gaza aid flotilla near Crete
The Israeli navy intercepted the Gaza-bound Global Sumud flotilla in international waters off Crete, detaining more than 170 activists from multiple countries. Israeli forces boarded dozens of civilian vessels, including boats carrying Australians, and the Italian legal team said 24 of those arrested are Italian out of 57 Italians who took part in the mission. The operation took place far from Gaza’s coast and involved at least 22 boats that were part of the convoy. The interception has immediate humanitarian and legal implications for efforts to deliver aid to Gaza and has prompted sharp international criticism, including the UN special rapporteur calling it "Apartheid without borders."
Israel kidnapped hundreds of people from the Global Sumud Flotilla this morning. They were in Crete 1,000km from Israel. But despite this being international Piracy and Kidnapping and being a gross violation of International Law. Nobody has even mentioned it.
Colin Boden39Israel not accountable to any international laws. A rogue state with a licence to carry out war crimes and genocide with impunity. Netanyahu conflating jews and Israel fuelling antisemitism all over the world. Israel rapidly becoming the most hated nation on earth. Ever.
Smartie10135Has Netanyahu declared that the Med is to be called the Gulf of Israel yet?
B O'Brien24Nobody has even mentioned it. Apart from the leaders of Italy, Greece, the EU, to mention just a few so far, that is... BBC News - Israel intercepts Gaza flotilla near Crete and detains 175 activists www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
WillyWonkasTherapist16Israel has truly has become a terrorist state and should be designated as such.
Westie13The Israelis have carte blanche to do whatever they want. Criticise them and you’re labelled an antisemite!

4017xan.bsky.social9This is how Western governments deal with the inescapable truth that Israel is constantly committing grave, illegal, acts. They pretend they are not happening. They wrap them in a cloud of unknowing. Otherwise they would look bad.
TRG8Israel is above the law……. Like Trump……Democrats are as soft on Israel and its genocidal lunacy …. at the behest of its minority leader and Corporate Dem allies.
Steve Knattress6I thought the uk and other European countries had lots of ships in the Eastern Mediterranean ? Who are they defending ?
paytontfahrquah.bsky.social6Israel is the most lawless & brutal ‘modern’ state on the planet, yet everyone watches, silently.
William5Israel is headed for a rude reckoning that will not be to their liking and it will all be Netanyahu's and his bootlickers fault. Like we should have gotten rid of Trump, they should have gotten rid of Netanyahu.
lukewarm24.bsky.social4Nobody dares to criticise Israel We’ve seen why today in the news Sadly if you do, you immediately get accused of being antisemitic
Sir Archibald3What a surprise the Israeli regime are free to intimidate, arrest, abuse and murder anyone it seems.
Ash Oro3I did write an article on it And a thread on here. But no one listens to me.
Hiyo (this is an ANTI-ICE account!!) Fuck ICE2You only mentioned it 25 mins ago. Maybe let the rest of us catch up before the complaints start.
☮️ Sigi ☮️2The Mediterranean Sea as part of Greater Israel?
Axiom in Autarky2Another valid reason to sanction Israel until the citizens are forced to riot in the streets to overthrow Bibi, to ease the suffering.
Cnoc172Surprised they didn't follow Americas example and just bomb them claiming they are drug smugglers. Works for America off the South American coast.
Jan van de Velde2Well, the world let it go when they did this last time. So what do we expect?
Blake2Until we all say enough, nobody will stop this.
The Global Sumud Flotilla has been forcibly stopped in international waters by the Israeli Navy. We're calling on the Prime Minister to condemn this breach of international law, work to ensure the safety of those still onboard, and extend diplomatic protection to those seized by Israeli forces.
@raystonian8Starmer's more likely to arrest anyone returning from the flotilla. He's Israel's man 100%
Charlie Southwood6Israel won't allow Starmer to condemn it
burt000.bsky.social5Green Party should urge party members write to local papers pre- May election. Give bullets points. Highlight Brits kipnapped in int'l waters & at risk in boats with IDF-vandalized navigation. Mention if verterans, etc Identify Reform, Con, Lab stance. Biased media. Many voters won't know.
Andrew Crompton3Unfortunately, there are no crimes Zionist terrorist sympathisers like Starmer won’t support.
Andy Martell2… believe me… he wont
At my Wits' End2Most you'll get out of the Labour (Israeli Support) Party are a few weasel words (no insult to weasels intended) & NO ACTION will be taken. Must not upset the LFI donors.
The UN special rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories on Thursday described Israel’s interception of the Gaza-bound Global Sumud Flotilla as “Apartheid without borders.” Read: www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260430-apa...
Sovereign pup of RK94ALL global officials are complicit unless they’ve taken tangible steps to address and STOP the terror state.
Eddie Berg2The Israeli apartheid regime is a thousand times more brutal and oppressive than the South system ever was yet the world allows and condones it to continue unabated
BREAKING: Global Sumud Flotilla reports that last night Israeli naval forces intercepted, boarded, and disabled and destroyed various boats of the Global Sumud Flotilla in a violent raid in international waters. 1/2
Qasim Rashid, Esq.133The Israeli military attacked 180 civilians, illegally detained and kidnapped several participants, jammed communications, and smashed an engine, leaving civilians stranded on powerless vessels. These are international crimes. The sustained Global silence from world leaders is indefensible. 2/2
The Resistance CO8Those motherfucking Zionists need to be stopped.
“This is illegal under international law. Israel has no jurisdiction in these waters. Boarding these boats amounts to illegal detention – potentially kidnapping on the high seas,” said Gur Tsabar, a spokesperson for the Global Sumud Flotilla. Attack on unarmed civilians in international waters.
shelly0z.bsky.social7Israel will continue to do whatever it wants it seems as long as Western governments pretend not to see
At my Wits' End51100 km from Israel...!!! That's one hell of a buffer zone these murderers want.
NOOOO! What the hell! They attacked the flotilla near Creta, 1000 km from Palestina? World, are we watching and accepting this? globalsumudflotilla.org/tracker/
Kevin MacKenzie4WTF people! #Israel is guilty here, plain and simple, of international piracy! #Netanyahu, #Herzog and #Gvir et al need to be arrested asap. Deprivation of liberty in international waters is piracy! #Auspol #Insiders #TheShot #Iran
Sweetiesue1111 2Looks like Piracy to me.... Israel is a terrorist state.
johndalton1108.bsky.social2US is doing the same across the globe
💥 Israeli forces have intercepted around a dozen Gaza-bound aid boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters near the Greek island of Crete, more than 1,000km from Israel. Organizers call it an illegal attack on civilians in international waters. @AJENews
▪️Sandy▪️6These idiots that say “I stand with Israel” should dropped off in Gaza.
Solisette5Jeez . But there’s precedent, Israel’s “ brother in arms” (war-crimes) has been blowing up fishing boats at will, for some time now. As long as the US backs Israel’s play Netanyahu feels he has carte blanche - anywhere.
Israeli forces raid Global Sumud Flotilla boats in international waters Seven out of 58 vessels were captured by Israel near Crete as flotilla aims to deliver aid to Gaza under blockade. www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...
misschief9.bsky.social7Israel is at war with the whole world.
Peta says bring back Łink7They kidnap people in international waters and our government just shrugs. The former didn't talk about 'on water' matters and the current doesn't talk about things going on 'over there'.
Geriatric Petunia5Near Crete??? What is Israel military doing near Crete? I understand it is in international waters but it is nowhere near Israel, how can this be legal? And what is our government doing since it includes Australians? Stupid question, of course they will do/say nothing
NK JJB4The Israeli community needs to take a look at itself in the mirror and ask themselves what the world sees and thinks of them when we read about this kind of event
