Israel Thought Its Flotilla Grab Was Safe; Spain and Brazil Proved Otherwise

Israel thought their flotilla grab was a done deal, but the trail now points back to which of their allies actually helped them do it. Right, so Israel has seized the Global Sumud Flotilla, taken 175 activists off 22 boats, moved most of them through Greece, but dragged two of them back to Israel, and now the bit Israel should really hate is not just the seizure at sea, but the bit that now points back at them having help to actually do it and that’s the bit we should all really hate, because we aren’t getting told this. The Israeli army acted against the flotilla through the US headquarters in Kiryat Gat, the Civil-Military Coordination Center, the CMCC, the very place dressed up as part of that whole sham of a Gaza aid and stabilisation plan. What we have therefore is the body supposedly there to coordinate aid into Gaza now having been tied to discussions about stopping people trying to bring aid towards Gaza. Israel had help, Israel’s helpers are now part of the story and we want to know who they are and every government sitting inside that plan has to now answer whether it was there to help Gaza or to help Israel protect it’s siege instead.
