    I didn’t know that Israel is just casually pirating away in international waters. Weird how that’s not ok when somalians do it.

      Strike called in Italy, protests flare over interception of Gaza aid ships

      Italian unions called a general strike for Friday in solidarity with the international aid flotilla for Gaza, while protests sprang up in a number of cities late on Wednesday after reports that the ships had been intercepted by military personnel. In the southern city of Naples, demonstrators got into the main railway station and halted train traffic, while police surrounded the Termini railway station in Rome after protesters gathered close to entrances.

      In the northwestern city of Genoa, the USB announced that it intended to block the port and called on all protesters to gather at 10 p.m. (2000 GMT) at one of the main entrances. Over the past two weeks, protesting Italian dockworkers have prevented various ships from docking and loading, targeting vessels they say were involved in trade with Israel.

    No doubt they’ll do what they did last time and just force her to watch Oct 7th footage and go “…Are you… Are you convinced yet? Please be convinced… Please”

    So much for all those ships sent to protect it. So much performative theater.

    Maybe the Italians should strike again until their navy actually protects the flotilla
