Israel Intercepts Aid Flotilla: 'Humanitarian Blockade' Continues
The Israeli military has once again intercepted a Gaza-bound aid flotilla 120 nautical miles off the coast, according to The New Arab. This isn't a new tactic; it's a consistent feature of a blockade that has choked Gaza for years. While UN officials and NGOs scream 'famine,' the blockade continues, demonstrating a clear intent to control every calorie entering the besieged strip. Funny how
'self-defense' always seems to involve starving civilians. This latest interception echoes the 2010 Mavi Marmara incident, where Israeli commandos killed 10 unarmed activists attempting to break the blockade. The international community, after a brief flurry of outrage, largely moved on. Now, with Gaza's population facing imminent starvation, these interceptions aren't just about 'security'; they
are a stark reminder of who controls the faucet, and how deliberately they turn it off. One might wonder if the concern for 'humanitarian aid' in US diplomatic circles only extends to what can be air-dropped, not what can actually reach a population on the brink.
