Then everyone reacts, calling her dumb and racist and talking about how cool Tunis is, so when you search on tik tok for Tunis, you just get the drama about this instead of war crimes...
-
The US attacks a Venezuelan boat in international waters, Israel attacks a Portuguese boat in Tunisian waters.

Read about Operation Wooden Leg. They bombed tunisia in 85 with 15 fighter jets. 68 has died

This is terrorism, terrorism perpetrated by the same authorities that use everything as a leverage to counter terrorism. Our governments are rigged to the core and evil, it's about time people comes to term with it.

It's not terrorism if the government does it. /s

Check the propaganda on r/worldnews people because it's insane
-
Previous Lemmy post said it was an Israeli drone and Greta thunberg was on board. Then there was some debate over whether there was a drone or not.
For those of us who don’t want to go to Reddit, what is r/worldnews saying?

Went a head and had a look. And I thought the cognitive dissonance on Instagram was bad.
"Guys it's just the unfortunate result of war"
-
A lot of denial, victim blaming and screeching about fake news.
In fact, the only front page article I see on that subreddit is of Tunisia denying that the flotilla was hit by a drone.

Doesn't look to be a drone, but a flare coming down?

Not justifying this in any way. This is an atrocious act. But talking about this topic... I don't know what to think.
If you actually want to reach Gaza, you don't set sail from Spain, because it is going to take forever to get there.
Also, I've seen videos of them partying on their boats. That just looks weird, I don't know. Not saying that they have to be sad and crying the whole journey, but partying feels wrong.
Opinions?

I wont even comment on your weird opinions, but obviously you will sail from wherever your ships are...
You think they will put their ships on a truck, drive to italy and then go from there?The flotilla consists of dozens of ships from all over the place and at different times. More will join starting from Italy afaik. https://globalsumudflotilla.org/tracker/

The partying? That's just humans united by a common (and good) cause, bonding and letting off some steam before they go into a perilous situation.
It's harder to hide the sinking of a boat than it is to hide arresting people.
And activists have more boats than trucks, due to protests against drilling, fishing, wars. And I guess there are protections in international waters that don't exist when travelling through different sovereign nations.-
Good point regarding the partying!

that's some delicious red herring you've got there
-
Spain to Gaza is less than a week.
I think they're "partying" because Israel has machine gunned civilians in boats carrying aid. Israel considers it "self defense" to kill these people. They shot up a boat and killed 10 innocents and when the world got mad... they sent Turkey $20 million to fuck off.
It's an efficiency equation for Israel. The tiniest thing can tip the scales and then you're dead because it was a better play for Israel compared to letting these Freedom Flotillas intrude on their plans. You gotta party before some bomb with a cringey name like "David's Scrote" turns you into spaghetti.
