Article 23 of the fourth Geneva convention would disagree with you.
also, a foreign country boarding a boat, imprisoning the crew, and confiscating the ship and cargo, all in international waters is called piracy, not the fun one.
What the hell are you claiming? Greta is not in forced labor. Military blockade is a real thing, she tries to breach it, and was apprehended and deported. End of the very predictable story that went perfectly according to the plan.
International law regards military blockade as an act of war.
They are at war. Rest is pretty much useless as in real life these agreements and conventions only work when the stronger party enforces it, which isn’t happening here. What is written on some paper and how real life works are two very different things.
I should mention again that I’m not trying to defend Israel, just telling you the brutal truth that things written in geneva convention do not work in real life if the stronger party refuses to play by it, just like UN is often meaningless if US has veto power and does what it want, or ICC that can’t do anything meaningful because states have threatened to take forceful action against them if they attempt to actually arrest someone from said country. We of course love yelling these things at countries doing shitty things, makes us feel better and puts us on the morally correct side, especially against Russia with thousands of war crimes, but what does that change if there is no one that can enforce said laws? You wanna go to russia and arrest Putin? Didn’t think so. Empty words. Evil does not care about your signature.
I’m just tired of Israel finding new creative ways to commit war crimes, and we are all sudently acting like doing so was always normal.
Of course Israel gets to have a blockade… even though doing so to stop AID is a war crime.
same with how normalised every single war crime they commit, which they literally come up with names, like Dahia doctrine, mosquito protocol, where’s daddy…
Fully agree. I’m just in this state of “what’s the point, laws no longer work, conventions no longer work, UN is useless, etc.”. At this point the only hope here is if the governments around the world en mass seriously starts getting involved, but even that is mostly word exchanges.
I wouldn’t consider it deportation.
not like they went to Israel, they went to another country.
that’s like me going to Canada, but the US intercepting my plane, forcing me to land in US soil at gunpoint. and then be kicked out of the states.
You’re missing one major difference. US doesn’t enforce blockade over Canada

How morally wrong this is, is whole another discussion, just pointing out why this was never going to happen and went according to the plan.

A) military blockade on international waters?
B) A blockade that started in 2006?
C) it’s actually a warcrime for a military blockade to block aid and food.
