Israel Raids Aid Flotilla, Puts Its Own Citizens on Trial
Mainstream outlets report that two Israeli citizens, including a holocaust survivor, now face court for daring to join a Gaza aid flotilla after being seized by Israeli forces in international waters. This isn't just about 'maintaining security'; it's a chilling echo of 2010 when the Mavi Marmara flotilla was violently intercepted, killing nine activists. The pattern is clear: any attempt to
bypass the blockade, by anyone, is met with state force—even when it means prosecuting a 90-year-old. One might wonder what 'threat' a boatload of medicine and food poses, or why an Israeli court is so concerned with its citizens exercising their conscience. It appears the greatest danger isn't the aid reaching Gaza’s starving population, but the international spotlight shining on Israel’s
relentless siege.
