Palestine defenders on Thursday condemned Israeli forces’ raidb of the latest Global Sumud Flotilla—which was sailing off the Greek coast while attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza—and the arrest of more than 200 of its participants, with some prominent critics calling the seizure an act of piracy.

Greenpeace International—whose MY Arctic Sunrise is the flotilla’s most prominent ship—said that the maritime convoy’s 58 vessels were “boarded and harassed by Israeli forces in international waters 45 nautical miles west of the Greek island Kythira and 600 nautical miles from Gaza.”

    Since when East jerusalem and west bank is Israel? People in Israel can all vote and they are voting for pro colonization candidates. Aparteith is not defined by unability to vote but by the intent to dominate, systematic oppression and inhumne acts

      Since when is any part of Palestine Israel? The point here is the “democracy” intentionally only officially colonizing a part of Palestine for their passport segregation while unofficially colonizing the rest.

        I didn’t talk about democracy. I talked about elections in Israel and how arabs are allowed to vote because it is a minority that won’t change Israel’s colonial genocidal policies. If arab outpace jews in Israel, I predict their ethenic cleansing The west bank and east jerusalem is not Israel

          Palestinians (not Arabs) have intentionally been segregated from Israeli elections with Israeli leaders publicly admitting that it is only to keep the sham democracy going.
