Israel has already proven it’s the good guy by spraying the Madleen with an unknown chemical, ramming the vessel, boarding it and making the crew throw their mobile phones overboard.

Israeli commandos were so nice during the encounter that they agreed not to kill anyone as long as they showed total obedience. In fact, the commandos showed such restraint that they didn’t even strip anyone naked. Well, not that I know of…

Israel was temporarily nice to the crew of the Madleen so it could get a propaganda picture and then it took them ashore where it tried to make them watch footage of October 7. When the crew refused, it demanded they sign deportation papers accepting they had illegally entered Israel, even though they were in international waters and it was Israel who took them to Israel!

I understand some of the Madleen crew signed the deportation papers and were sent on their way, but disgracefully, Rima Hassan refused to be repatriated. Apparently, she wouldn’t confess to something she hadn’t done because she has “principles”. Israel says it therefore has no choice but to keep her as a hostage, I mean an, um, prisoner.

Obviously, prisoner is the only accurate word to describe someone who is being illegally detained, having committed no crime. Hassan can’t be a hostage because she smiled defiantly and ate a sandwich and no hostage would ever eat a sandwich. It disrespects all those who were captured on October 7 to call Hassan a hostage, just because she is being held against her will after being abducted by armed men.

I’m not sure if you’re aware of this, but Hassan is Palestinian and it’s fine to treat Palestinians this way. It’s what Israel has always done x

    BDS is the only tool ordinary people have. Use it.

    I’m truly sorry for the collateral damage that sane Israelis will suffer as a result.

        “Hauptgericht” is a meal. There is no court in Germany with that name.

        Do you have a source? I searched and could not find anything backing up your claim, nor have I ever heard about any such decision by any german court.

        There are no “Hauptgerichte” in Germany. So whatever you want to say, you seem to have no idea at all about german laws

        In Germany, the Hauptgericht has recently ruled that organised boycott campaigns against Israel are unconstitutional

        Which “Hauptgericht” are you talking about? The only recent major court ruling I can think of ad hoc is the one of the Federal Administrative Court [Bundesverwaltungsgericht] in March that said that it didn’t have jurisdiction in the question BDS wanted a ruling on. Instead, they were referred to the Federal Constitutional Court [Bundesverfassungsgericht]. Can you please link a source?

        Oh, but it’s not a boycott of Israel - it’s a boycott against any nation whose leader is wanted for crimes against humanity.

        Judging from the following comments, it seems we may have found the Israeli/Russian/Chinese/North Korean disinformation farmer.
