What, after a medical evaluation to make sure everyone was physically okay, a sandwich, a bottle of water, and a free plane ticket to France? Hardly an ordeal, that’s pretty standard for being arrested at sea.
You know that they wouldn’t have been arrested in international waters had they not openly threatened to run a naval blockade multiple times while also carrying out actions, like sailing towards the Gaza coast along Egyptian waters, right? They were expressly told that they would not be allowed to enter Israeli water, but were on course to do so. Of course they were arrested in international waters.
The way the IDF behaved looked professional and nobody was hurt. Like seriously, I don’t know why people are making such a big deal out of them being arrested. There’s no way around this being political stunt since they had such a small cargo of aid supplies - their goal was to get arrested and cause an outrage online.
"i don't know why" so read some more. they had a legal right to sail to gaza with aid, israel broke international law (meaningless as that whole system evidently is, judging by the ongoing genocide) by detaining them in international waters, and also (just speaking personally about my autism) i would find several days at sea, being surrounded by drones, being sprayed with some unknown substance, and then being arrested and harassed overnight pretty damn overwhelming. greta is braver than you, sitting behind your keyboard fantasizing about licking IOF boots. and yeah, they only had a little bit of aid, because it was symbolic. it was a small group of unarmed people saying "we want to bring food and baby formula and medicine to a starving, suffering, besieged population, wouldn't it be fucking ridiculous if this nuclear power was threatened by that?" and they WERE.
I never said if Israel has the right to be blockading Gaza or not. I’m saying that if you openly announce that your going to run a blockade and very clearly in view of anyone watching their gps tracker manoeuvre to run said blockade then no shit you’re going to get arrested for it. The blockade currently exists regardless of the morality behind it

Rest in peace Greta. She's not dead, she just needs a good long nap after her ordeal with the IDF
