Gaza Aid Flotilla Intercepted, World Expresses Mild Concern
A recent Gaza aid flotilla, attempting to deliver humanitarian supplies to the besieged enclave, was intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters. This marks the second such interception in a week, according to the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. For those keeping score, this isn't a new tactic. Remember the Mavi Marmara in 2010? Same song, different verse, tragically proving 'international
waters' is a suggestion, not a rule, when it comes to Gaza. The media frames these events as isolated incidents, conveniently forgetting that Gaza has been under blockade for 17 years. These flotillas are a direct response to a humanitarian crisis manufactured by policy, yet the focus remains on the 'interception,' not the need for aid. One might wonder why there's always enough military might to
stop medical supplies, but never enough to ensure food and water reach two million people. Priorities, perhaps?
