    Palau revoked its flag from the Conscience prior to the attack, and authorities in Malta, Greece and Turkey have threatened to confiscate the ship if it comes to port.[14]

    Why?

      If you read through the article, the whole situation reeks of IDF and Mossad just flexing, using misinformation, all their classic playbooks engaged to garner support for the genocide and accelerate human death and suffering

        I did and it does, I’m asking why these other states did what they did. Makes no sense, unless they had advance notice or were complicit, unless I’m missing something.

          From what I understand you can’t just take off from a port without a flag, that is, to sail in international waters your vessel must be registered to a country and the registration process takes time during which you have to just sit there and wait.

          That’s what I mean by Mossad. Show up unannounced to someone making the decision. Show photos of their wife and kids from a sniper nest. Walk out of the room. Shit like that is their MO.

          Greece in general though just can’t get enough of that genocide

          A mid 2024 poll shows that 61% of Greeks consider Israel an ally of Greece, which is one of the most positive ratings in the world post Gaza War.

            Upvoted for the info about Greek support for Israel. I didn’t know that was a thing. Any other context for why that could be?

                  Haha no worries, it was where my direct quote came from and I meant to include it, so your early morning fuzziness helped me update my comment for the benefit of anyone reading through the thread

            You know, I heard stories like that a long time ago (20+ years) and forgot. Thank you for reminding me
