Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Israel is gonna sink a frigate. Sorry to be a doomer, but that is what Israel is gonna do.
If they're smart they'll just let the flotilla land with the negligible amount of aid they bring and just keep it all hush hush and boring, and behind the scenes apply pressure on the Italian government to punish the trade unionists after things have quieted down.
Israel openly attacking an Italian warship is like the best case scenario for pro-Palestine narratives, and would drive a much needed wedge between Europe and Israel
I think Ben Gvir and Smotrich are going to threathen Bibi into action. The risk of breaking the siege is too high. Even though I agree that the aid is negligible for now, the moment one boat of the Flotilla touches Gaza, container ships will start routing there
I don't think cargo ships will unless they are also given military escorts, which seems very unlikely
