Palestine defenders on Thursday condemned Israeli forces’ raidb of the latest Global Sumud Flotilla—which was sailing off the Greek coast while attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza—and the arrest of more than 200 of its participants, with some prominent critics calling the seizure an act of piracy.

Greenpeace International—whose MY Arctic Sunrise is the flotilla’s most prominent ship—said that the maritime convoy’s 58 vessels were “boarded and harassed by Israeli forces in international waters 45 nautical miles west of the Greek island Kythira and 600 nautical miles from Gaza.”

    Since when East jerusalem and west bank is Israel?

    10% of the population of Israel lives in West Bank: they are considered full Israeli residents and are subject solely to Israeli law. Palestinians in West Bank are also subject to Israeli rule and law, but they aren’t citizens because Israel is an apartheid country
