    The flotilla was told several times to turn around or be detained. They decided to not turn around and continued on their intended course to breach the naval blockade.

    According to international maritime law Israel can intercept and detain before they enter.

      Notice you never said they did breach the blockade which btw by international law they have to be given time and allowed to leave even if they enter without permission which they didn’t do nor is Israel claiming they did.

      Intercept and detain yes, board, seizur, deport and treat as their own… No because duh.

        Just like police can arrest you before you commit a crime, if you loudly and repeatedly proclaim the intention to commit it.

        They were asked repeatedly to change course and refused.

        Boarding, capturing the ship, confiscating cargo, and holding crew is exactly what international maritime law says is legal and customary in such situations like a blockade.

          A. Jurisdiction. B. You’re confusing ras with PC , you need pc for arrest you need ras to detain.

          Because they don’t have to, they’re well outside the blockade and Israel doesn’t own the ocean.

          No, international law says a ship entering a blockade illegally can be boarded and detained after they’ve been given a chance to leave the area… If they have to be given a chance to leave you can’t steal their property and kidnap their crew, that’s a crime.

          Read the law and don’t double post the same thing to me please.
