40+ boat flotilla...

The Israeli Navy on Friday intercepted the last of the 42 vessels trying to break the maritime blockade on Gaza as part of the Global Sumud Flotilla, with the Foreign Ministry saying it had deported four activists so far out of 470 who were detained trying to deliver symbolic humanitarian aid directly to the war-torn Strip.

40+ boat flotilla...
The Global Sumud Flotilla consists of 500 participants on more than 40 ships from more than 44 countries, making it the largest civilian-led convoy of its kind in history.

My understanding of UNCLOS is that any state can undertake the prosecution of piracy committed anywhere on the high seas,

• High Seas:
  On the high seas, the primary authority rests with the flag state. However, UNCLOS grants universal jurisdiction over piracy, allowing any state to seize pirate ships and arrest those on board.

I have grown tired of you now. I am done with you now.

I suspected that when your arguments had been roundly demolished you'd find an excuse to tire.

But still you have not the decency to accept responsibility for your perfidious allegation, nor apologise.

Piracy can go ahead unchecked then ?

Until someone shoots them lawfully

Post 599. Yours.

Which category? It's a simple question

You are asking me to guess.

I'd go with, to prevent crime or because they are at war.

I think its well established that the trip was funded by Hamas and some of those aboard have links to Hamas.

So in other words, just a lot of hot air.

 

[motorbiking]

Is anyone suggesting that Isreal's actions were Piracy?

 

[motorbiking]

So in other words, just a lot of hot air.

I cannot know what someone was thinking without asking them what they were thinking or reading something that says "we acted lawfully because of ...".

We've already established pages ago that they have some limited power to prevent them from entering their legitimate exclusion zone.

Only in a document that Israel claim to have found and which only their media have covered.

Has it been disputed?

 

[carmanmemoranda]

My point stands.

You put up 3 categories and can't actually decide which 1.

And then, falsely, claim nobody can prosecute them.

Don't take this on for pages going round in circles.

Was just a lot of hot air.

Good enough for some, especially our esteemed law expert

Yes.

who can prosecute them?

 

[carmanmemoranda]

who can prosecute them?

Obviously nobody, just like nobody can stop any act of piracy

 

[motorbiking]

anyone can use force to stop piracy.
