Netanyahu Orders Drone Strike on Aid Flotilla, Again
A recent report from Middle East Eye, citing US intelligence officials on CBS News, reveals Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu personally ordered a drone strike on the Global Sumud Flotilla in Tunisia. The alleged attack, launched from a submarine, deliberately targeted a humanitarian convoy, disrupting communications and causing damage. This act isn't an isolated incident; it echoes the
2010 Mavi Marmara flotilla raid, where Israeli commandos killed nine activists attempting to break the Gaza blockade, an event UN investigations deemed excessive and unlawful. One might wonder if 'humanitarian aid operation' translates directly to 'military target' in certain government playbooks. While the world debates 'proportionality' in Gaza, 'proportionate' apparently includes drone strikes
on boats trying to deliver food. The timing is, as always, impeccable, fitting the established pattern of responding to peaceful calls for aid with kinetic force, a strategy consistently enabled by international silence and billions in unquestioning military assistance.
