Italy said it will stop accompanying the international flotilla trying to deliver aid to Gaza, despite concerns by activists that the fleet will be attacked within the coming hours. Italy and Spain deployed navy vessels to assist the boats after they were hit by drones armed with stun grenades last week.

    What a brave effort. How can the people be so brave while their governments are such cowards?

    This is Israel vs Palaistine locally, but rich vs poor on an even larger scale.

      It’s worse than that; they’re fascists. It took a fucking general strike in Italy to get them to deploy the naval forces to begin with, and their Mussolini fangirl prime minister called them off again as soon as she could bullshit an excuse.
