If you're intent on breaking the law, you need to be disguised from those filming.

anti-Zionist publication for a long time, and their editoral content has expressed as such.

They also reject a two-state solution. This is not an unbiased publication.

There is a lot of simnilarties when trump first bombed Iran. There were those that were blaming it on Netanyahu, and how HE convinced trump to bomb Iran. While no doubt Netanyahu wanted that, it is trump who made the decsion for the U.S. to do it. Of course using Netanyahu as their "judas goat", makes the stereotypical association, Netanyahu to Jewish an easy leap for some so inclined. Of course in this case regardless of Netanyahu being for those bombings, it was TRUMP who made the decision for the United States, not Israel or Netanyahu, though I have know doubt there are some who are only to eager to blame all these problems of the world on "the Jews", and their "insidious influence".

Immediately, after October 7, the same outlets blamed October 7 on Israel, and then later pushing the lies that the rapes and torture that occurred that day "were just exagerations", or worse, even justifying them in some cases.

If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, it's a duck.

As a white American I naively thought Europe was more liberal and nice but black people are persecuted all over the damn world and it needs to stop! I know this post is about the floatilla activists but police brutality against any people who aren't part of the status quo seems to be happening everywhere. I have to wonder if the situation will be getting better or worse as financial and climate strains on populations aggravate everything.
