Netanyahu Orders Drone Strikes on Aid Boats, Citing 'Self-Defense'
CBS News, citing sources, reports Benjamin Netanyahu personally ordered drone attacks on Gaza-bound humanitarian boats off Tunisia. No one was hurt, they assure us. This, of course, comes just weeks after the IDF killed seven World Central Kitchen aid workers. The pattern is clear: any attempt to alleviate the famine Israel created in Gaza is met with violence, rebranded as 'security' measures.
This isn't new. In 2010, the Israeli military raided the Mavi Marmara flotilla carrying aid to Gaza, killing ten activists. The international outcry was brief. The blockade continued. Now, instead of direct naval raids, we have precision drone strikes on empty vessels—a sophisticated escalation in the war on aid. Our media frames it as a 'mysterious fire,' but the 'mystery' seems to consistently
point towards the same state actor enforcing a deprivation policy on 2.2 million people. One might wonder, how many aid ships must burn before it's called collective punishment?
