    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.
