    They sent ships to provide assistance or rescue if necessary, not to actually protect them from violence or abduction. Basically, they only promised to help someone if their ship sinks and the Italians only did that much to calm striking workers. All optics, no substance.

      Correct. Those warships immediately turned around and advised the flotilla to follow Israel’s demand to go to a different port and let them distribute the aid.

        Fucking cunts. Literally everyone knows that Israeli wouldn’t do shit with that aid except keep it or destroy it.
