Israel's very survival is at stake. Damned right they will stop ANY ship attempting to sail to Gaza.
Only the most stupid would think that they can somehow evade this.
Personally, I think the best way to handle this is to confiscate the ship, and force every person aboard to walk out of Israel!
Explain how a ship filled with humanitarian aid and crewed with lawmakers, peace activists and journalists threaten's "Israel's survival".
IMO the ship is essentially harmless. Its sole purpose is to raise your awareness of the Netanyahu's regime's cruel treatment of millions of fellow human beings. Success!
Now that you are aware that that the Netanyahu regime collectively.punishes millions of people in an attempt to make them suffer poverty and misery, you might also want to know the root cause which is a 60+ year ethnic cleansing war. Guess which side is winning? (Hint its the side armed with nukes)
The usual suspects will of course claim that pointing this out proves I hate Jews and Israelis. But that's simply NOT True! Their purpose is to stifle debate and insult anyone who disagrees with their viewpoint, ... and other noise.
I support anyone who non-violently struggles against injustice and oppression, including the Jewish and Israeli crew members on this ship:.. Who are there to make a point that some Israelis and Jews support freedom and justice:
...The commandos found 17 European activists aboard the ship, including three Israeli peace activists, and several crew members. The ship was towed to Ashdod after the commandos completed the operation with the help of Israeli missile ships which surrounded the Estelle before it was boarded.
