It’s much more effective to do what they did than to intentionally instigate an attack. Don’t give Israel any leeway to say “Well we were justified because…”
I agree mostly, in this case, because they have the media attention. If they didn’t then they aren’t protected by everyone watching, and also going down fighting would bring attention to the situation, which is beneficial.
You know the nazis want you to do nothing, right?
“No, nazis want me to attack them!”
No, no they do not. They are cowards, only acting strong when they hugely outnumber everyone around them. But they don’t outnumber us. They only do, if you sit in your house and tell people to do the same thing.
Then start assembling your army and go invade Israel.
No? Right. The flotilla didn’t have the ability to muscle past the Israeli military; grassroots endeavours never will. The only way to win is to continue drawing attention to how awful they are until the people with real firepower do something.
If that never happens, then the fascists in charge of Israel win. It sucks, but talking tough on the internet won’t change it. The Communists didn’t prevent the Nazis rise to power by brawling with them in the street either.
This can have a massive impact on European politics, especially in Italy and especially if the response from the Italian dockworkers totally fucks up the operations of Italian ports for a couple of weeks.
Also I’m curious about the reaction in Spain given that the frigate they sent did fuck all.
In the meantime they amass more power and continue to commit murder. Nip that shit in the bud.
