It’s not just that this is puerile and lawless. It’s that it is completely out of touch with the issues relevant to contemporary warfare. Russia fights like this. It makes Russians criminals. But it doesn’t make them winners.

Italy & Spain have sent navy ships, Greece guarantees safe passage, and 16 nations issued a joint warning for flotilla safety from Israeli attacks. The #GlobalSumudFlotilla carries humanitarian aid for Gaza, backed by a coalition determined to keep it safe. #3E

Greece has joined Italy and Spain in escorting the Gaza flotilla… they understand the genocide.

It's time to break the siege and the man-made famine.
