Israel says it will 'act accordingly' in response to Freedom Flotilla
[GEO.TV] The Israeli military has warned it will take measures against the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, as a vessel chartered by the activist group approaches Gaza to protest Israel's blockade on the Palestinian enclave, reported Al Jazeera.

When asked about the vessel by British newspaper The Times, Israeli military spokesperson Effie Defrin said, ''For this case as well, we are prepared.''

#3 Israel should take the ‘high road’. Save Greta! I say impound the ship if it won’t agree to return to its launch site. Fly Greta back to Sweden though!

#6 In response, Israel should say "Fine. Since the Freedom Flotilla Coalition is supplying Gaza, we will stop allowing the hundreds of aid trucks to enter. Let the Coalition do all the aid."

#7 This may be a self-solving problem. They just diverted for a new cause:

Protest ship headed for Gaza detours to pick up Sudanese migrants

A high-profile activist mission sailing to Gaza to challenge Israel’s blockade on the territory has taken a detour to pick up Sudanese migrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean, according to a person on board the ship.

Activist Rima Hassan reports that the Madleen changed tack to the south to rescue a boat carrying migrants off the Libyan coast. They reached the ship just as Libya’s coast guard overtook the dinghy, but four people jumped into the water and were picked up by the so-called Freedom Flotilla.

“We were able to rescue them, they are with us on the boat,” she writes.

The ship, which has earned international attention thanks to its inclusion of climate protest leader Greta Thunberg, is not expected to reach Gazan waters for several days. It is unclear whether it now intends to bring the four Sudanese migrants along for the ride to Gaza or if it will now take a further detour to Europe.

#8 I am reminded of hiding the 117 in the radar shadow of a refueling tanker and it's escorts.
