Headline after headline fails to mention that seizing the ships and kidnapping humanitarians violates international law. Instead the articles repeat Israeli propaganda.
This is how Western media normalizes Israel’s crimes.

Israeli military intercept and board several aid ships bound for Gaza, organizers say


Well Israel isn’t stopping random boats or arresting random people. They had announced their intentions clearly and have not reacted on orders to stop. Look up international maritime law on blockades.
Israel can’t let people enter dangerous warzones. The actual aid organizations on the ground in Gaza coordinate with the IDF all the time to minimize danger. The flotilla maximizes danger to themselves on purpose.
If someone threatens to commit a crime and doesn’t stop when asked, they can be arrested before the crime happens.
Minimize danger by shooting unarmed starving people? What a fuckin joke.
It’s not a crime to be in those water, it’s not their port to be policing, it’s not illegal for them to be in that area… Their blockade is not legal and is not recognized or needed. What, Hamas has some kind of fleet of amphibious vehicles we need to be worried about swarming the coasts? No, Israel has firm control over that port through occupation?
The ‘actual aid organizations’ CAN’T GET THROUGH AND SAY ISRAEL IS PREVENTING THEM FROM SAVING LIVES AND ARE BEING FIRED UPON BY THE IDF…so, I don’t know man, it sounds like an illegal blockade for an illegal genocide to kill humans they deemed to be illegal by birth.

I’ve never seen so much genocide apologia coming from someone claiming to be against genocide.
Nuance and complexity is too much for you apparently.
There’s nothing to “nuance” here. Israel wants all the Gazan’s driven out, killed, or in what are effectively concentration camps. All the rest is Israeli Hasbara. This isn’t a failure of aid management. The shameful incompetence of the GHF is by design. Also FYI:
And maybe you should read this to get some more clarity on the situation:
So what proportion was “looted” by starving Palestinian civilians and what proportion was “looted” by Hamas? The article conveniently doesn’t say, probably because Israel conveniently claims everyone they shoot at is Hamas.
Let me refer you to these (inconvenient for your narrative) follow up articles that debunk your claim:
The reason Palestinians are starving and being killed in Gaza and the West Bank is because that is what Israel’s intention has been all along.
UN say aid is unsuficient and isrsel is comitting a genocide . They didn’t even arrest isrseli blocking aid and destroy it
Ahyes, famously they have been very cooperative with aid organisations, so much so they set up they’re own (Gaza Holocaust Fiundation), which was totally not another front to slaughter even more people.
Also, the danger is the israeli army, what fucking coordination? Please don’t murder our aid workers like you do every time?
What are all these freakish zionists on fedi? Go dig a hole and crawl in it.
They kidnap gazan fishmen all the time
