A civilian ship headed to #Gaza with activists—possibly including Greta Thunberg—was bombed by drones off Malta’s coast, and all signs point to #Israel.

No one was hurt, but the message was loud: humanitarian solidarity is now a target.

The West screams about Houthi rebels stopping weapons, but stays silent when Israel bombs peace missions. So, what’s louder—international law, or selective outrage?

Updates on the Freedom Flotilla

BREAKING: After The Conscience was attacked by drones in international waters, Malta agreed to cover repairs but insists they happen at sea. This is unsafe!
We demand the ship be brought to port, fully repaired, and allowed to sail to Gaza.
This mission is about breaking the siege and delivering hope.
Let the Conscience dock. Let Gaza live. Free Palestine.

Continued thread

#Malta is offering to send a marine surveyor on board to assess the reported damage sustained by the vessel, and according to the relevant findings, to assist in any emergency repairs necessary to enable the vessel to sail to its intended destination.

The vessel’s captain has refused to allow the surveyor to board the vessel."

However:

‘No reference was made to the #Conscience's request to enter Maltese territorial waters’

Continued thread

‘Times of #Malta is informed that the government is barring the vessel because it is carrying no flag and has no insurance - even if the right of passage of humanitarian assistance is guaranteed by the Geneva conventions.

Palau - the flag bearer of the vessel - removed the #Conscience from its vessel register just a day before the incident.’

That timing is critical…how did the perpetrators of the drone strike know it had just had its flag removed and that #Thunberg was about to board?

Continued thread

Hier kann man den Ablauf der Angriffe auf das Schiff vor #Malta mit den Hilfslieferungen für #Gaza sehen, inclusive des dazu passendem Luftverkehr. #freedomflotilla
Es müsste schon ein riesiger Zufall sein, wenn das Flugzeug aus #Israel nichts damit zu tun hätte.

AL MOMENTO dell’attacco la #Conscience ospitava trenta operatori umanitari provenienti da Turchia e Azerbaijan, cibo e medicine. Una nave disarmata, ferma a tredici miglia a nord-est di #Malta nell’attesa di ricevere il permesso di attraccare al porto per far salire a bordo altri volontari e ulteriori beni essenziali. La Freedom Flotilla Coalition dal 2008 organizza azioni con lo scopo di rompere l’assedio israeliano e raggiungere le coste di Gaza. #FreedomFlotilla

il manifesto · Droni contro la Flotilla che portava cibo a Gaza | il manifestoIsraele (Internazionale) A mezzanotte e ventitré di ieri, due droni da guerra hanno colpito diverse volte la nave Conscience della Freedom Flotilla, mentre si trovava in acque internazionali. Il primo sparo ha centrato l’esterno dello scafo, che ha cominciato a imbarcare acqua. Gli altri il ponte di prua e la zona dei generatori, lasciando l’equipaggio senza energia.
