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.

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
