    What would you call intercepting someone in international waters and taking them back to your country without their consent? If Somali pirates did that you’d have no qualms using the word ‘kidnapped’.

      It’s a blockade for a war zone. Standard practice for centuries, unless they just shoot you which was the previous option for most of humanity.

      Now let’s get pedantic and have someone screech that Israel doesn’t recognize Palestine and it’s not a war so no blockade 🙄

        The blockade is illegal and israel didn’t do it job to allow enough food and aid to enter which is an obligation. They are even shooting people seeking aid

        Israel does not recognise that there are civilian non-combatants in Gaza and therefore does not allow aid to enter. How about you?
